What can I use as a cross reference a Military Warrant from The Rev War to verify the person?

Question

I found in the library the warrant number for a person I am creating for his land deed in Sumner County, TN. I'm trying to prove through other sources that this is the correct person.

Answer 1

Here is a link to the Revolutionary War pension records for a Dempsey Harrison born about 1760.  

Digitized at Fold3 at https://www.fold3.com/file/23218944

and some records are transcribed at S41623 Dempsey (Demsey, Dem) Harrison (revwarapps.org)

he was living in Camden County, N.C. in 1819 and 1821 when he applied for his pension

Many Revolutionary War soldiers sold their land warrants

Thank you Kathie! I learned something new. I did not know that they sold their land warrants.
