Does anyone have any info about the Sills family that lived in Sampson County, N. Carolina, in 1818? I am searching for info about the families of William Clemmie Sills and his wife Elizabeth Thornton Sills. They were married in Sampson County 15 November 1818. By 1830, when their eleventh child Julia Ann was born, they had moved to Monroe County, Alabama. Clement served in the War of 1812. Name is listed as Clement Sills in the pension papers for the War of 1812. He was in the Company of Capt. Thomas Sutton, Col. M. Moore, Capt. Caleb Stephens in NC militia, 3rd Regiment. Enlisted in Sampson Co., NC 10/11/1814 and discharged 3/10/1815, at Wilmington, NC. Will be grateful for any info.

I am interersted in knowing if a printed copy of these transcribed land records and deeds exists today. If so, what is the name of the book or books and where can they be found. I am interested in the period from about 1730 until the division in 1784. I appreciate any information about this.

IDA Raynor Tew was the dau. of James Robert Raynor and she was born 30 Oct. 1877 and died 18 Jan. 1929. She was married to EdWARD TEW, does anyone know where she is buried in Sampson Co. and the dates on her husband and their children names. Donna

Has anyone been able to name any of the children of Richard Rainer, ( Raynor, Rayner or Rainier) of Sampson Co. in 1800. We know all the children of David but has anyone been able to name any of Richard's children or wife. Thanks, Donna

Jerome, Thank you for that most informative explanation regarding military service during the Revolutionary War. I could tell from the pension applications and pay vouchers that there was a difference, but I didn't know exactly what it was. One more question please. Was there any specific term regarding the service of those who supplied food and other goods for the troops? Did they receive pay for these goods?

The militia men were drafted for 3 months and after that the unit does not exist. If another battle was looming, a second draft was issued and likely most would be new people or different people. They did not just serve in the county but went mostly south to SC or GA as well as across NC. Just like the NC Line but with less training and shorter tours. The NC Line men were in for 9 months or more and had better records. These were like the regular army troops. However, no clear record of the units are now available. But Pension Applications give good detail and some unit ID. State Records and letters in these records give some details. NC Regiments with battles are constructed and posted online. Pay vouchers are mostly preserved but not 100%. These also are online. General Greene's papers are published but are not in any small libraries. I know the public library in Greensboro has a set of his books. The Duplin Militia may have had a few units in 1781 (a critical year in NC) but I have never read a reference to a militia unit number. North Carolina had a militia flag, and all units may have used this flag. Flags and units were much more important in the Civil War. In the Civil War, there was no 3 month enlistment.
