I am looking for information as to what is available and from where they might be found about death records, marriage records, military service records. My gr-gr-gr-gr-grandfather, John Brien came from Ireland. Some say he was born in 1735, some say he came to the Colonies in 1735. He settled near what is Winston-Salem today. He married a Miss___?___ Clark. A son, James Brien, my gr-gr-gr-grandfather, was born in 1757, married Ann Lytle and moved to Logan Co., Ky in 1794 with the wife and children. Surely there were more children of John and Miss Clark than the one son. No one, to date, has known where to start looking for such early records, even land records would be helpful. Are there records of service for the revolutionary war relating to residents of the Old Rowan Co.? Are there old wills and/or probate records for Old Rowan Co.? If so, does anyone know where they might be archived? Thank you for reading this. Herbert F Barnes, Dallas, TX
