The men that served as militia during the revolution were NOT eligible for pensions for bounty land warrants. Only the men who served at least two years in the continental line were eligible for that. But, the militia service does make them eligible for "Patriot" designation, if they time they served was during the period of the war.

Having said that, I can tell you that Chatham militia men were eligible before then, because of the wording in the court of Pleas & Quarter Sessions beginning in  August of 1774.
At that time, the Court Justices decided that they would remove all mention of the King of England and his titles, from their government documents.
The War of the Regulators had it's effect on the county!

Murtie June Clark - COLONIAL SOLDIERS OF THE SOUTH -  Genealogical Publishing Co., Baltimore MD
has a complete list of the militia companies in Chatham Co., at this time.
Be aware that the list is not pertinent to the Revolutionary War, time period.  Even though, many on the list would have been so.

William Hooper is listed as a Colonel in the county in 1775. I'm sure this is the same William Hooper that represented NC in the Continental Congress and was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. He was actually from Orange Co, according to his biography.

The following is a list of men on the Muster Rolls of Capt. Jeduthan Harper's Company. Chatham Co. Regiment, Sept., 1772. List No. 6
Taken from the original documents in the N.C. State Archives. (I will give the original spellings with my interpretation, in parenthesis, if necessary)
