First, follow the warrant numbers which AB Pruitt includes. Then check his North Carolina Land Warrants and Entries Index for your names. Follow those names through the North Carolina works which Pruitt indexed. It could be that your ancestors enlisted in PA for the up-front payments given to soldiers. They could have originated in PA, gone to NC and then shopped around for the best enlistment deal. Or you could have a PA man claiming lands in a TN military district because he served and thought he was eligible. Byron Sistler has compiled a multi-volume index to TN Land Grants. Check that next. Then follow the directions on how to access the originals. The original grants are on microfilm through the Family History Library--check TN, then Land and Property to find the call numbers--there are several land districts. Be sure you are in the right one for the filmed copies. Many thanks for your comment, Your favorite genealogist, Arlene Eakle Whenever military lands opened up, claimants appeared.

I am trying to piece together a community of land grant soldiers who settled in the Watauga Purchase or State of Franklin on the South side of the Holston River, ca 1780. My research info comes from A.B.Pruitt's book of of North Carolina Warrants in Tennessee. I need to find the land grant info. These men were soldiers in the Revolutionary War. I have their pension files but they enlisted in Pennsylvania and were discharged from there. Is military district #1 just composed of those who served from North Carolina? Could they have settled temporarily, then received the land grant for Tennessee? What do you suggest? Arlene,
