Major sources for the following information are:
(PR NA) = Revolutionary War pension records of Archibald Dill, North Carolina Line (National Archives) '14th day of May 1833 appeared in open court...County of Jackson (Tennessee)...Archibald Dill residing in the said county, State of Tennessee, aged 84years...in the year 1779....was drafted in Caswell County, N.C... Applicant was born in the state of Delaware, Kent County in the year 1748. The record of his age was in his father's prayer book, which is somewhere in the State of South Carolina, but he does not know where it is. From Caswell County, North Carolina he moved to Long Island on Holston River, Tennessee, which was then in Indian country, there to South Carolina on Tyger River and lived there about twenty-two years. From there he moved to Wilson County, Tennessee where he lived three years. Then he moved to Beaver Creek in Kentucky and afterward moved to Jackson County, Tennessee where he now lives...(again this was in 1833) Signed, Archibald Dill (HisMark)'

(FPR NA) = Final Pension Payment Record of Archibald Dill, National Archives. NOTE: THIS IS NOT THE SAME THING AS HIS PENSION RECORD 'That he now resides in Jackson County, State of Tennessee and has resided there for the sum (?) of twenty eight years, before that lived 5 in thestate of Kentucky. 7th day of September 1837, Rowland C Dill, Justiceof the Peace; Archibald Dill (His Mark)' Archibald Dill also had a Power of Attorney document in the same folder,with the same 7 Sep 1837 date. It is signed by Lemuel Loftis and John Putty; Archibald Dill (HisMark) THIS ALMOST CERTAINLY REPRESENTS HIS PREPARATION TO LEAVE JACKSON COUNTY, TENNESSEE FOR HIS SON STEPHEN DILL'S RESIDENCE In McDONOUGHCOUNTY, ILLINOIS

Sometime between 7 September 1837 and 23 Oct 1838 Archibald Dill had moved from Jackson County, TN to McDonough County, IL)
