[The following are in General Assembly Session Records 1801 in various folders.]
481. Petition of Wynn Dixon (of Caswell Co) : he asks that "steps be taken" to dismiss a charge (in Hillsborough Dist. Superior Court) of fraudulently assigning warrants to Revolutionary War soldiers; he claims he followed his "patriotic" father during the war and defended him with "sword" when needed; after the war, it was a "common" practice of officers to buy soldiers' warrants and make assignments, when the soldier couldn't write; at the end of the war Dixon was "young and inexperienced" and 16 or 17 years old; he bought some soldiers' warrants; he is accused of assigning two warrants to himself and signing the soldiers' names to the assignments about 15 or 16 years ago; Dixon doesn't remember if he made the assignments or not, because his memory has been "obliterated" by time; Dixon claims the assignments were made n "fair contract" and no soldier has complained about the assignments. The Committee, to whom this petition was referred, recommended dismissal of the indictment; [mentioned in Delamar transcripts as being in Legislative Papers 181; mentioned in NCGS Journal vol. 1 (3) p. 152 (1975); petition not found in Session Records 1801, but it still may be there somewhere]
