All of the postings that I am finding for Arthur Council or James Council seem to be several years old. If anyone with info on these Revolutinary War soldiers is still reading this message board, please reply.
I have tied my ancestor, Anne Smith, to a brother, Arthur Council. I found a Gift Deed in Hickman County, TN from Arthur Council to his sister, Anne Smith, of "military land heired by my father." This gift was originally signed in 1806 by Arthur Council of Bladen Co. NC. The deed was registered in Hickman County, TN in 1831, It was certified by the register's office in Bladen County, NC in 1829. It identifies the land to be on the Duck & Pine Rivers. I found archived records of warrant no. 1849 for 3840 acres of land granted to James Council, heir of Arthur Council. I also found the command by the Secretary of State James Glasgow for the survey to be done for this land. It appears that this brother Arthur Council is son of James Council whe was hier to Captian Arthur Council. The survey for this Military grant includes a map that is indeed on Duck & Pine rivers in Hickman County, TN, which at that time was Tennessee County, NC. My searches in Ancestry.com identifies grant 1848 to Arthur Council's heirs for 3840 acres. Was there 2 grants or is there an error in the information on Ancestry? Further, family trees that I find posted indicates that Captain Arthur Council was unmarried and that his brother, James was unmarried. So, just who is the James Council that was hier to the land granted on behalf of Captain Arthur Council, who himself had a son named Arther to whom he passed at least a part of the land, and also had a daughter named Anne?
