    3. Hi Everyone, My ancestor, Samuel Day was awarded a Va. Land Grant for his service in the Revolutionary War. According to an entry in the Ohio DAR Revolutionary Soldiers, p. 108 and Sims Index on-line, in 1796 Samuel Day had 150 acres in the Upper Tract on the west side of the North Fork at Clay Lick. He sold it to John Dolly in 1805 when his family migrated to Ross Co., Ohio. Some people have told me that this is located about 4 miles north of Seneca Rock. Can someone out there identify this location and verify its location. Was this location in Hardy Co. before Pendleton was formed in 1788?? I found a notation in the U. Va. Library that Sam Day was awarded land in Hardy Co. some time after 1784. Could this have been the same property that had to be re-registered after it became part of Pendleton Co.?? What records should I check in Hardy Co. or did those records move on to Pendleton Co.?? Sorry to throw so many questions at once but I feel like I've been travelling in a circle for some time. Thanks for any feedback.
