Reference books indicate my ancestor received a “military patent” in Central Kentucky. Wasn’t that for service in the Revolutionary War?
No. Research of the actual patent file should indicate the Military Warrant used to obtain the patent in Central Kentucky was issued for service in the French & Indian War or Lord Dunmore’s War. Researchers should always check the original documents to determine what types of Warrant(s) were used to obtain a patent and who actually used the authorizations.
