"Among the old settlers were to be found some soldiers of the Revolution. The following is taken from the records of the County Commissioners' Court for Dec 1832". "John Scott came into open Court and on his oath made a declaration purporting to prove himself a revolutionary soldier, for the purpose of obtaining the benefit of the act of Congress, passed June the 7th, D. D. 1832." Eight others were certified by the Court as being such. They were Ebenezer Barnes, William McGhee, Thomas Sloan, Edward F. Patrick, Charles Moore, William Vincent, Edward Day and John Toliday." Would the McLean County Court have this information??
