Go to http://www.ncarchives.dcr.state.nc.us/. Then do a search using
ENCompass. The link is on the web site. You can do an advanced search
using any text (I used Pennington), and I used "Select All" Library
Collections. The hits were amazing.
Good luck!

"I've searched Ancestry.com, HeritageQuest, the genealogy sites for each of the mentioned counties, FamilySearch.org, and plain old internet search. I know the marriage information because someone...looked it up for me, and got me a copy of the marriage bond (no clues there except Jane's father's name - Richeson Penn). I'm fairly new at this...

I have been asked where the records of Virginia Revolutionary War
Bounty lands might be found and where those lands were.
The answer is clearly provided at
http://www.lva.lib.va.us/whatwehave/mil/rn8_varev.htm
The portions of that site pertinent to this question are:
"All Virginia bounty land was in Ohio or Kentucky and records of the
surveys and grants are held by the Kentucky Library and Archives
Dept., P.O. Box 537, Frankfort, KY 40602-0537 and the Ohio Archives,
1982 Velma Ave., Columbus, OH 43211-24
Some of you have asked to know when there was a printed copy of my book available. Here is one at Amazon
