The DAR accepts oaths and committee service as acceptable patriotic service:
"Membership in committees made necessary by the War, including service on committees which furthered the cause of the Colonies from April 1774, such as Committees of Correspondence, Inspection, and Safety, committees to care for soldier's families, etc.; Signer of Oath of Fidelity and Support, Oath of Allegiance, etc."
The DAR apparently has Jacob Bass of Bute/Franklin Co as the one with the war record in the 1st NC Militia.
Assuming he was born in Perquimans Co (as is believed), Jacob could have taken the oath in 1778 in Bute Co where he was living (in order to vote) and then appeared on the payroll of Elisha Rhodes' company of 1st NC militia in Gates Co in 1780. Between 1775 and 1780, it looks like Gates Co was formed from parts of several counties including Perquimans. Just a thought...I haven't seen what you have that indicates Bute Co Jacob isn't the same so I can't judge.
