I need some fresh thoughts on a research problem. Agnes Snider was granted a land warrant in Shelby County Kentucky. Weren't land warrants granted for Revolutionary War Service? I am trying to find out who her husband was-if there was one. Is there a way to track her husband through this land warrant even though it was issued to her? Like I said-I need new thoughts and some good research ideas on this person. She and her daughter Julia came from Virginia to Kentucky then on to Missouri by 1850. They married into the Minzes and Blankenship families while in Illinois. They seem to be of the alien race because I can't find any other info. Thank you!!

Most land warrants had nothing to do with service in any war.

Thank you for the information. I will read it and get educated. I'm just very frustrated with this family. I dead end with Agnes and find no husband or ANY other family member except her 2nd husband Joseph Minzes and his decendants won't claim her as his spouse regardless of the marriage records!! Oh well. I'll keep looking.
