Served as Pvt. in Doherty's Co., 10th Regiment under Col. Abraham Aheppard (Sheppard?). Reference: N.C. State Records Vol. XVI, page 1106. Revolutionary War Veteran. In September of 1994, I received correspondence from a Ms. Carol Ann Petrich Flores of 11606 Sagelink Drive, Houston, TX 77089-4434. She has records on the Land lineage and shows a John Land, b. abt 1755 in VA and died in Georgia about 1830 marrying a Ruth Fountain (abt 1764-1830 GA). She also has a Henry Land (c1757-1840) m. Easter Fountain. This was likely the brother of John Land as the dates are right and it was quite common in those days for brothers to marry sisters. I received the following email:

The Mary Land listed above (John LAND item) is Mary DYE, daughter of
Fauntleroy DYE of Richmond county, VA, and Warren co., NC. She married John LAND circa 1762. Thomas DYE was in Warren co., GA, as early as 1784--near the area where another John Land (junior?) married Ruth Fountain. In fact, virtually all the people listed above moved to the Jefferson/Warren co., GA, area.

I'm particularly interested in your Land information because one of my ancestors is Jonathan Fountain, presumed brother or uncle to Ruth Fountain Land. I'm also related to the Dyes. There was a Celia Dye who married Henry Uptagroves in either Jefferson or Warren co. in 1811 and in addition to Thomas and John Dye, William and Nancy were other favorite family names. They're rather common, I suppose, but I noticed that they matched the Land or Fountain names you sent.

Incidentally, there was a Landel Dye (ca. 1790-1860) in Warren/Jefferson, and my great grandfather's sister, Nancy Dye, married Green Shepherd, probably son of John Shepherd of Onslow, NC.

Could your John Land, Henry's father, be the son of the above John Land?
