I need help on the following and would appreciate any help; I know that John Walraven was in Orange Co. NC by the following but have not been able to find anything else on him in North Carolina. I know that his wife Elizabeth received two draws in the 1827 Land Lottery of Georgia. One of the draws she is listed as (wid R. S.) I have not been able to find if John Walraven served in the Rev War in North Carolina or not. I know that he died Sept. 6, 1814 in Franklin Co., Ga. and he is listed on the 1790 Census in Abbyville, South Carolina.
