Who was Peter Chinn of Surry Co., NC?
I have found a Peter Chinn who fought in the Revolution.He was born in Virginia, I think, and was a private in the Virginia Militia.He received a pension beginning March 4, 1831, and at that time he lived in Surry County, North Carolina.He apparently received the pension of $20.00 a year for three years.He was 71 years old in 1833, so he was born about 1762.Any clues to who his parents were, and how he might be related to Perry Chinn, also of Surry County?
