Catsmaw, A simplified explanation would be: That Davis Harris received land warrant # 4167.0 from the State of Virginia in the amount of 100 acres, on June 5, 1786, for his service in the Revolutionary War. It is likely that he was a Private in rank, based on the size of the warrant and he served in a Regiment of the Virginia Continental Line which was an American Army Regiment, not Militia. Hope this helps, James E.
