Hello Everyone, A while ago I went through not only the Rev. War Pension Applications, but all the Rev War records indices they have at the National Archives for Roderick (and variations). In addition (at DAR), I looked through the NC State Journals Index, which has many listings of payrolls and land warrants, looking for Roderick and all variations of both given and surnames. I also looked through a separate INDEXED book at DAR focussing on NC Rev War lists, that overlaps the NC State Journals. I found nothing for him. I also looked online at the Library of Virginia's Rev War website which has many online images as well. On a separate quest for clarifying a Bentley, I was given the name of three or four separate sets of papers/compilations at the Library of Virginia or the Virginia Historical Society that apparently aren't widely used. Their names are on my other computer. I got a laptop a couple of weeks ago, but haven't got the energy or time to transfer my files yet. Further at DAR there are two or three older books that are unindexed that have LOTS of typed lists of militias, units (regiments, companies what have you), for the Rev. War. I have never paged through them. I also did not look for him in the huge card files at the NC State Archives when I was there four years ago. I would recommend those of you tied to him might send them a research query. _http://www.ah.dcr.state.nc.us/archives/mail.htm_ (http://www.ah.dcr.state.nc.us/archives/mail.htm) Hildred can correct me on this, but I concluded that he probably didn't serve as a soldier in either VA or NC (which would include today's TN), or if so for such a short period of time he fell under the radar so to speak. He very well could have contributed somehow, and it is recorded in a county record somewhere (in VA it was in court order books). For DAR membership, that is enough. Best Regards, Janet (Baugh) Hunter

Janet, Providing blankets to the troops is enough to get you into the DAR. It's my understanding that many signed an oath of allegiance which also gets you in to the DAR.
