One of the most common,and often wrong traditions, is that our ancestory who resided in the Va Military District between the Little Miami River,and the Scioto River, recieveed his land for military service for Va? I'm asking this of several counties at once,and don't want you to reply if you have just the traditon-many will- but that you have so proved his service,and land bounty warrent. Beer's "History of Brown Co,Ohio" states that only Capt Robert Higgins actually served,and then ,actually settled on his military land warrent,at Higginsport,Oh. Very likely that number is to low, but I'm wondering how low. I'm not asking if heirs of the Va soldier settled on the soldier's military land warrent. I'm not asking if your soldier served for Va,and recieved a bounty land warrent,that he sold to speculators. I'm not asking that the DAR ,in it's careless on research years, accepted a ladies application ,that her ancestor recieved a land warrent where he settled in Ohio. I have no doubt many applications so state. I am asking,and of many good researchers, 'Can you "prove' your ancestor got a military land bounty here,and then personally settled on it.?" "Or even, 'Can you prove your ancestor go a Va Military land warrent,and personally came to Ohio to sell sections to newcomers.? There was 1 time Va offered privates 100 acres for enlisting. There was a time Va badly needed troops,and offered 200 acres,and a slave,for enlisting. My library has no data for counties where it was "common' for surveyors to locate those small tracts. The river counties were most often surveyed in 666 2\3 and bigger tracts for officers. Where was the privates small military land warrents located? The other,and earlier,Va Military district between Ky's Cumberland and Green Rivers? I have the above tradition for solders who actually served in NJ,and Pa, and whose purchace of their Ohio farms from land speculators,is recorded. I also have traditions of descent from famous people and royality-non of which has proven correct. We have a tradition our Fagaly-Vogelei ancestor was a s German princess. And we have her aged daughters recorded years later in family reunion minutes saying'We never heard the tradition that Mother was born a princess "until after her death".
