The question from Jeanne, which was an excellent one, was not fully answered. I realize the answer is not straightforward and I could answer, but there are some on this list much more qualified than I. -----Original Message----- >From: Craig Kilby <persisto1@gmail.com> >Sent: Feb 20, 2013 12:15 AM >To: va-northern-neck@rootsweb.com >Subject: Re: [VA-NORTHERN-NECK] The post Revolution War migration - where did they go? > >No. Even many of those who qualified did not always take one out. Sometimes, we just don't know. They were traded like baseball cards. Much like the headrights of an earlier era. Ditto for War of 1812, although in that last case they were taken a lot more seriously, and you are more likely to see them used where they could be used (Missouri, Arkansas) but even then they had traded hands once or twice (not always, of course.) In fact, the first big migration to Missouri from Virginia began after the War of 1812, and especially after it attained statehood as a slave state in 1821. > >Craig > > >On Feb 19, 2013, at 11:58 PM, Jeanne wrote: > >> Here is probably a stupid question.. but did all those who fought during the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812 receive bounty land warrants? >> Jeanne >> >> >> > > > >------------------------------- >To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to VA-NORTHERN-NECK-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
