My  ancestor, William Lee served William Lee (1734-1802) served as private in 
 
Captain Cobb's company of militia, 1781, for the aid of southern States.  He 
died in Bedford County, Va.

1789 - Bedford Co. Land Grant Book  22 1789-1791 p. 446-447 - Granted to 
WILLIAM LEE, assignee of SAMUEL  CROCKETT - 184 acres - by survey dated 
11/13/1789 - branches of Lick  Run.  Lines. Lee, Thompson, Candler, Brown, 
Roberts, GUTTREY.   In consideration of Treasury Warrant Number 11512 
issued 3/19/1782 granted  to WILLIAM LEE. s/ 8/9/1789

My question: Can I get a copy of his record  if he only served in the 
militia?  
Who issued the Treasury Warrant -  US or the State of Virginia.  Can I get a 
copy of his request for  this?

Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you in advance. Molly  Shumate
