Discharge

[edit]

The article indicates Lee's Legion was discharged in 1783 at Winchester Virginia. I believe I've see paperwork for Land Bounty warrants for former members of Lee's Legion, who they state that they were discharged in South Carolina. Either location would make sense. Winchester makes sense as the Legion would have come this way following the war, following the Great Wagon Road to Philadelphia and would have made particular sense for McLane's "Delaware Blues" originally part of the 13th Pennsylvania, and made up of Delaware recruits.

On the other hand, at the end of the war Lee's Legion operated in the Carolina's, and discharge in that area would make sense too.

So which is it?
