  Patriot Paths: Finding Your Tennessee American Revolution Ancestor by Melissa Barker

  The Revolutionary War had a huge impact on the area that would become the State of Tennessee. Although settlement of the Eastern part of the state had begun in earnest in the 1770s, it was the military land grants issued by the State of North Carolina that encouraged Revolutionary War Veterans and their families to brave the new Western frontier. Learn how to trace your Revolutionary War Veteran's footsteps to Tennessee using the Tennessee State Library and Archives Patriot Paths database.
