Christian "Christy" ARNEY, Sr. Lincoln County, North Carolina

My American Revolutionary War ancestor, was Christian "Christy" ARNEY, Sr.

He was born in 1749, in York County, Pennsylvania.

He moved with his family, father Jacob ARNEY, from Pennsylvania to the area of Tryon County, North Carolina, around 1767.

Christian served, several tours, during the American Revolutionary War, but didn't file for his pension, until the 1830's.

At first, he was turned down, because the service he said he performed was being ordered to make 85 pairs of shoes, which the Courts decided was not truly "Military service".

The 2nd time he filed, he told them about all the other things he did, like scouting, and fighting during the battle of Ramsour's Mill.

I'm looking for any information I can find, for Christian's service during that time.

Also, Christian "Christy" ARNEY, Sr. died during the Spring of 1834.

He lived on the ARNEY plantation, of which his father, Jacob ARNEY, had also lived and possibly was buried.  I believe it's entirely possible, that both men were buried on the ARNEY plantation.

So, I'm trying to locate the ARNEY plantation, in what would have been Lincoln County, North Carolina, but could be Gaston County or Catawba County now.  It's likely it was near the town of Lincolnton.

Any information on Christian "Christy" ARNEY, Sr. would be helpful.

I seek, what I term DTP (Definitive Tangible Proof), which can be, but is not limited to, birth/baptism records, church records, marriage records, land deals (purchases/sales), death records/certificates, grave markers, tax rolls, probate records, military records, Wills, etc.

Thank you, for your time, consideration, and cooperation, I truly appreciate it.
