What does the "8th Company" signify? I have an Alexander Mathewson reportedly born in NC around this time who moved to Indiana, but I have not been able to locate him prior to that, or determine any more about him. There is one note that he married Nancy, a Cherokee. If anyone has any further info it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
