That is a great summary with solid dates. Very Helpful in trying to get a picture of the times. Yes, with the Oct. date of Burrell Pace's warrant he could have been 15 in 1774 at the time of Deathridge's tax list. John and George Deathridge appear to have come to Surry Co. N.C. from Spotsylvania Co. in Va. I have'nt been able to confirm where others on the list may have come from.
In 1780 it seems even visitors to Surry Co. were drafted to militia duty. In the Burrell Pace petition you mentioned, he does not mention any active service time. Very puzzling. This suggests to me he may not have been fit for military service or he purchased a substitute. I did find in a history of Allen's iron works that the Colony of N.C. did grant draft deferments for 12 men working there. Not sure for what years. Maybe Pace was working for the Allens.
The 24 May 1780 request for a survey on Richard Pace's 400a parcel on Fishers River may just be the next step in acquiring land under N.C.'sconfiscation act. I think an immediate survey was requested when a warrant for land was approved. 1778 to May of 1780 does seem like a long time to get a warrant approved though.
I've bookmarked all the dates you have provided. I'll get my daughter to show me how to back it up. Thanks!
