I need some help/advice re possible service of James Ross in the War of the Revolution. I have several sources that list his participation in the War, but nothing re specifics. James owned land that was likely part of the area of the Battle of Guilford Courthouse (tax list-1787, junction of Laurel Creek/Muddy River). Also, James and wife, Mary, sold 150 acres of land to Joseph Huskins (1778-Recorded in Guilford County). It is my thought that he probably served in the NC State Militia, but that is only a guess. James is found in Logan County, KY by 1805. Can anyone help me with this search? Does a roster of NC State Militia-men exist somewhere? Thank you, very much. Wayne Smith, Kansas City, MO

Pat, is this the Pat Kennedy who has done research on Edward Gilbert in Guilford Co., NC? How are you doing? Haven't heard from you in quite some time. We still have not gotten back any further on Edward - like where he was born, when he was born, who his parents/ siblings were, who he married - Mary ?, etc. I wonder why it's so hard to find out something about him? Just curious as to whether you have found anything new?
