I need help. Who has a Index or book which would have the names of Revolutionary War Veterans, who settled in NC after the War?? I am looking for: HUGH PARKS He could be born anywhere, but fought in the War, and was later either GIVEN a Land Grant in NC, or he simply settled in NC after the War. If anyone has Land Grants in NC after the War, or Rev. Vets in NC after the War, could you do a LOOK-UP for me, for Hugh Parks?? I shall surely and sincerely appreciate it. I am overseas, so I can't run into a library and check it out, untill 2004 when I get home to CA. Our family story says Mecklenburg Co.NC, but others think Nash Co. NC. Please assist me on this info.
