Solomon Pippin was a landowner and farmer in Edgecombe County, North Carolina, at the outbreak of the Revolution. After the war, he was reimbursed for supplies that he furnished for the United States forces. His reimbursement vouchers give no detail as to the nature of the supplies. In addition, he made an application to the state government for a land entry (grant) during the war. One requirement for such an entry was that the applicant had to swear an Oath of Allegiance to North Carolina and to the United States. Such an oath was considered treason to the Crown and carried a penalty of death by British law.
Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!
Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
