In 1824, John Wesley and his brothers, Richard
Wood, George and Matthew Mayes Pentecost, granted power of attorney to a
lawyer, Richard A. McRee, of Henderson County, Tennessee, for the purpose
of investigating their claim to the land due their uncle, Dancy
Pentecost, Dec'd, for his service as Sergeant 3rd Regiment of the
Continental Line of North Carolina in the Revolutionary War. Shown in
land records from the North Carolina Archives, Dancy Pentecost was,
although killed in action, granted two Military Land Warrants, one for
356 acres and one for 644 acres. Part of this land was given to the
University of North Carolina on the strength of a signed statement by an
acquaintance that Dancy Pentecost was a French National and not a citizen
of the United States. There does not seem to be a record on the balance
of the land granted to him so it is not possible to determine whether or
not Attorney McRee was successful in his attempt to secure it for the
Pentecost brothers.
