MAN who entered a land
claim for a land grant between 1 Jan 1778 and 26 Nov 1783 in

women entering a claim for land were NOT required to take
the oath of allegiance.) Thus, if
your MALE ancestor entered a claim for land in the appropriate
time frame, he would be eligible for patriotic service.

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.

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."
