Chatham, 9300 S. Redwood Rd. #7-13, West Jordan, UT 84044.) Pay voucher issued to Thomas Voyles for service rendered as a militia member in the Revolutionary War. The voucher reads as follows: "State of North Carolina, Salisbury Dist. No. 1514 agreeable to an act of the general assembly paper in Wake Co. the 14th July 1781 Thomas Voyles was allowed 3 pounds 3 shillings specci for Militia Service by the board of auditors Aug. 28, 1782 by order: David Wilson Will Carthey Kinsey Trotter C.B." The voucher when converted to silver by the Militia member was made of no further value by a paper punch, a small circle visible above the "D" in signer D. Wilson's signature is the hole. It must be remembered the Militia was a rag tag assemblage of revolutionaries, and largely without uniforms, paid in the Kings' coin of the realm, and serving in a hit or miss fashion, dividing of their time between fighting, and family requirements. And the American Revolution lasted from 1775 to 1783. 1790 census for Mecklenburg Co., NC Thomas Voyls page 162 2 males 16 and upward including head of household 2 males under 16 3 females including head of household 1800 census for Cabarrus Co., NC Thomas Voiles page 685 males 31001 females 01101 00 1810 census for Washington Co., KY page 331 Thomas Voyles ages males 00001 females 01301100 Got her maiden name from: Juanita Arnold at midnight@peoplecom.net per an email in 2003. .
