Lincoln County was not created until 1779. See Space:Formation of North Carolina Counties. It was Mecklenburg County in 1752.
The roster is dated 4 Feb 1781, 24 Feb-24 Apr 1781. Each of the below named men enlisted in the same day, 29 January 1781, and each of them deserted on the same date, 23 Feb 1781 (maybe that is just when the roll was called and they weren’t present.) Some of these I’ve been able to track down. I believe that many, if not all, of these men were Lincoln Co. NC, men.
