If your ancestor lived in
New Jersey, he or she may have paid the supply tax. To
be eligible for patriotic service, the tax must have been
paid after 08 June 1779. An index for last names
starting with
A - B,
C - D,
E - H,
I - L,
M - O,
P - R,

and

is available for late 1779 and/or 1780 ONLY for
Bergen,
Burlington (Chesterfield Township only),
Essex,
Gloucester (Newton, Waterford & Woolwich Townships
only),
Hunterdon,
Middlesex,
Monmouth,
Morris, and
Somerset
Counties. NOTE: Some of the individuals in the
index paid the tax BEFORE June 1779. Thus, not all
individuals in the index are eligible for patriotic service.
You must find your ancestor in the images paying the tax
after June 1779. Alternatively, if your ancestor is
NOT listed in the index, check the images of all the lists
in the county where he/she resided as only some tax lists
for late 1779 and/or 1780 have been indexed. Your
ancestor may appear in an eligible list that was not
indexed.
This database

Index to North
Carolina Land
Entries
|
|
Between 1 Jan 1778 and 26 Nov
1783, thousands of North Carolina residents started
the land-grant process by entering a claim for a land grant. When MALE residents did so,
they were required to take the oath
of allegiance. (NOTE: Apparently women entering a claim for
land were NOT required to take the oath of allegiance.) Thus, if your
MALE ancestor had a land-entry claim between 1 Jan 1778 and
26 Nov 1783, he would be eligible for
patriotic service.
Be aware that many, many more
people started the land-grant process by filing a land-entry
claim and taking the oath of allegiance than those that
actually completed the process and received a land grant.
Thus, it does not matter whether your ancestor received a
land grant. What matters for patriotic service is
whether your ancestor filed a land entry in the time period
stated above. NOTE:
For more information about using North Carolina land entries
for patriotic service, watch these two informative "Genie
Clips" by NSDAR:
Land Entries Part 1 and
Land Entries Part Two.
The county links below provide an index
of the names of the male residents and the numbers
associated with their land entries. For most of the counties, you will be able to browse the
original records for the actual land entry after finding a name and
a land-entry number in the index. For some
counties, you will need to
email me
your ancestor's name, land-entry number, and county of
residence for the land-entry information.

and click the link. Stay in the left margin and hover
your mouse over "Revolutionary War Public Service Claims"
which now appears under Active Filters near the top of the
left margin. Click the lock icon to "lock in" the
database for any subsequent searches in this session.
If you find a claim of interest, you can view the records on
FamilySearch.
Records can also be viewed through the
DAR Patriot Records Project.
In May 1780, the Virginia
General Assembly passed an act authorizing the governor to
impress supplies needed by the American army. The governor
appointed commissioners in each locality to carry out the
terms of the act. When the commissioner impressed property,
he gave the owner a certificate describing what was taken.
Between 1781 and 1783 county courts held special sessions at
which certificates were presented and authenticated.
This database is an index
to documents relating to
Virginia citizens' claims for compensation.

One of the major sources for
this index is the the journal of Francois Baby, Gabriel Taschereau, and Jenkin Williams. Several months after the Battle of Quebec in May 1776, Governor Carleton ordered a survey to identify the Canadians who had helped the Americans. Francois Baby, Gabriel Taschereau, and Jenkin Williams travelled the province and counted the Canadians who actively provided such help. They recorded the specific actions of those who assisted the Americans in a journal, and an English translation of the journal was published in 2005 in the book "Quebec During the American Invasion, 1775-1776."
