English: Virginia Land Office warrant in the name of Joseph Cabell, assignee of Gabriel Penn. Warrant directs the principal surveyor of any Virginia county to lay off one or more surveys totaling 200 acres. Virginia owed Cabell acreage for Sgt. Penn's service in the French and Indian War, and according to the terms of King George III's proclamation of 1763. Sgt. Gabriel Penn of Amherst County, Virginia, was born 17 July 1741, and served as a sergeant in the First Virginia Regiment under Col. William Byrd in 1764. Penn was a member of the Revolutionary Convention. He married Sarah, daughter of Col. Richard Calloway of Bedford County, Virginia, and died in 1798. Sgt. Gabriel Penn's brother was Col. Abraham Penn, an officer of the militia of Henry County, Virginia, during the American Revolution. Gabriel Penn's first cousin was John Penn, a Virginia native who was a signer of the Declaration of Independence from North Carolina.[1][2][3] |
