It seems some of us confuse receiving a warrant for land due for SOME service in the war with actually receiving a land grant. A brief explanation of this is at the Library of Virginia web site here: http://www.lva.virginia.gov/public/guides/opac/lomcabout.htm There is also a searchable database for all of these warrants on their web site where you can view the pertinent applications and proofs of service. This is a very valuable resource. Note that the land available was in the Virginia Military Districts of Ohio and Kentucky only. Service in the local militia only did NOT qualify for a land warrant. Good luck! Craig Kilby
