The Rev. <\/em>War records are organized (sometimes) by District, & the District of Wilmington included Duplin<\/span><\/strong> County<\/span><\/strong>.<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0 It appears that the County Clerk for Duplin was also serving as one of the Auditors for the District of Wilmington. This all serves to further-solidify the links between the people identified by these various records.<\/em><\/p>\n

The pay vouchers were generally issued to an entire unit at one time, beginning w\/the officers & continuing through the privates. Thus, any grp receiving private pay listed all together would be presumed to be all in the same unit<\/span>. Here is what is shown in the abstracts of the NC Rev.Army Accts, Bk W, # 1 (1781-1783), for the Wilmington Dist<\/span><\/strong>., listing the vouchers issued by the auditors of that district:<\/em><\/p>\n
