As a descendant of Gideon Lamb and Mary Gregory of N.C. I am seeking proof of such thru a Rev. pension record rather than mere tradition. This is for joining a patriotic society and must be proven.
I am hoping that such record can be found. The Lamb record I want is one which will name Mary (Ray) as an heir. There may have been a Gideon Lamb Sr. and Junior. Mary Lamb Ray may have descended from a son

Abner , ensign in 1 st N.C., also Lieut. 1 st N.C. in June 1781, or Cornelius who served with N.C. troops.
Col. Hideon Saml I was Col. of 6 th N.C.
Kindly help me -

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Colonel Gideon Lamb of North Carolina.
From the records of this office it is shown that Warrant No. 1310 for five hundred of acres of bounty land was issued, May 25, 1792, on account of the services of Lieutenant Colonel Gideon Lamb of the North Carolina Line, War of the Revolution. Said warrant was issued to Abner Lamb, executor, no relationship to the Lieutenant Colonel Gideon Lamb stated.
There is no further information on file in regard to his services and no data relative to family, due to the destruction of papers in such claims, when the War Office was burned.
Very truly yours.

Mr. A. D. Hiller.
Dear Sir:
Your letter of October 9th 1933 with reference to the war record of John McCanne received. And am very thankful that you sent me this record, as it will probably give me a lead to some of my Lamb record which I have been trying to prove up.
I am going to ask if you will please send me the record of the Colonel Gideon Lamb, who was with the 6 th North Carolina Regiment, with which this John McCanne served and was killed at the battle of Germantown, October 4, 1777, giving me his parents name and the names of any issue he might have left.
Nancy McCanne, a sister niece of this John McCanne was married to Travis Lamb, who was my great grandfather.
Thanking you for the information given any any other which you might be able to furnish , I am,
Yours very truly,
