Description

Private in the company of Chowan Militia commanded by Capt. Bains. Vouchers were issued in lieu of cash by the governor after the auditor had validated a claim. The vast majority were issued for military service by detached militia, either those called out to defend the coast in 1813 or companies ordered to rendezvous at Wadesboro in 1815. When a voucher was redeemed, it was cancelled by punching a hole through it. The collection includes vouchers for 31 counties only.
