Two William Grimes born 1758 Wake County NC?
I have the Rev. War Pension app. made by son Thomas on William Grimes' service (for Thomas' mother Beady Newsom Grimes).Volunteered from Wake Co. NC. It says that William married Beady Newsom in 1781 Wake County,NC.The app. was made in 1852.It includes an afd. from Dawson. Says William died in Ala. in 1821.
Then, I found an app. by a William Grimes for himself.App made in 1854 in Chambers Co Ala. for sevice from South Carolina. Says he was born in Wake Co. in 1758. (Sounds like the before mentioned William Grimes.)Went from Wake to serve in SC.After war went back to Wake, then to Orangeburg, SC., to Twigg Co GA, to DeKalb, GA, to Harris Co., GA, and finally to Chambers, AL.Says all this in app.Sounds like the Wake Co, NC. William, Sr. (before mentioned) but the app. by the son (Thomas, above) says William Grimes died in 1821 while the later app. is made by a William still living in 1854. (It says he is 90 something)
Does anyone have info on these two? I'm kinda new to this and this is really confussing me.
I will be glad to share any information I have and help in East Texas.
