Reprinted with permission of the North Carolina Genealogical Society from The North Carolina Genealogical Society Journal, Vol. X, November 1984, p. 248, from Jonathan B. Butcher and transcribed by Ransom McBride:

Capt. Edward Clinch's Company of the Nash County Regiment (Dec 1778-Feb 1779) found by Jonathan B. Butcher and transcribed by Ransom McBride

The search for Revolutionary War veterans is a continuous one for individuals trying to determine their relationship with one of them. Most of such veterans have been discovered, although it is known that there are gaps in the lists, especially with regard to the short-time of service in county militias. Professional genealogist, Jonathan B. Butcher, recently came upon a list of such militia by chance. He was searching the Nash County, NC Appearance, Reference and Trial Docket, 1779-1785) (File #C.R. 69.302.1 at the N.C. Archives) for a client and noticed some writing on both the inside front and back cover. The writing had been lightly scribbled over and was apparently an old militia list. Paper was scarce during and immediately after the war years, and the court staff presumably used what they could find in compiling and repairing record books for the County.

The N.C. Archives does have a few militia lists extant from the Revolutionary War, but it has none filed for Nash County. Edward Clinch, the Captain of this company, may have been the same Edward Clinch who was the building commissioner for Nash County and who died in 1779. Sergeant Henry Lancaster applied for a pension in 1832 and was still resident in Nash Co. in 1835. Sergeant Nathan Horn applied for his pension in Simpson Co., KY, in 1833 and states he was born in Nash Co., NC on 27 May 1762 and enlisted in the same county in 1779. After the war he moved to Montgomery Co., NC, and left for Logan Co., KY, in 1808. Captain Edward CLINCH's Company as found in the above docket is shown below; the pay period commenced on 10 Dec 1778 and ended 11 February 1179:
