Hi Lee, The State and Regional National Archives and genealogy libaries have the microfilm where you can do your own research if one is close to you. I would suggest starting with the pension records. The Revolutionary War Bounty Land Warrant Applications and Pensions are on Film M804. They are listed alpha and you do not need to know the unit. My Davis are on Rolls 747-769 and my Hesters are on Roll 1263. Then if you want to look for the compiled records, the index would be on M881. You do need to know the assigned unit on these film. The North Carolina units are on Rolls 781-786. Good luck with your research, Margie Lee Ralph wrote: > > Hello, > I need some help.
