Although there are probably a niumber of published sources for North Carolina Revolutionary soldiers, probably the most reliable are the series transcribed and compiled by Weynette Parks Haun of Durham, NC. I do not have her address, and I am not a salesman for her. If anyone has tried to read the films of these accounts, you will know what a great big favor has been done for genealogists and lineage researchers by Mrs. Haun. I have tried to read the film at the DAR Library in Washington, DC, and they are hard to tackle. Mrs. Haun has indexed each book--I don't know how many vlolumes there are--I only own two. These are government account books and are not meant to help you compose your pedigree. They were kept for the government and do not give a great deal of detail. The preface of Mrs. Haun's books helps you understand that the accounts were paid at different locales. By determining where your ancestor lived, you can generally figure out who the paymaster was. These books are about some of the most authentic I have seen for Revolutionary War activities in NC, however. If you find your person listed, you can be assured that if he were paid, he probably served. Another source for determining whether there was Rev. War service was the awarding of bounty land in Tennessee. Several volumes of such awards have been published. A recent one of bounty land grants awarded by various state governements for Rev War service has been compiled by Lloyd D. Bockstruck and was published by Geneal. Publ. Co. Some libraries have this book--read the preface carefully. Mostlythose states had extra land awarded these warrants. And that's all I have to say on the matter. Perhaps others will join this discussion. E.W.Wallace who has many NC roots
