Regarding Revolutionary Public Claims: An amusing incident happened when an ancestor of mine was listed as CS (Civil Servant) for being in the list of those who made public claims. As this moved through channels, someone abbreviated it to CS and left out the Civil Servant. Down the line some one decided to put an A after the CS. Still later, someone's record showed a man who died in 1811 serving in the Confederate States Army (CSA) during the Civil War.
