Burns - Revo War Service

Surnames: Burns
I am trying to find out whether or not a certain Burns served in the Revo War. Specifically, did Laird Burns Sr. (1716-1784) (Cumberland, PA > SC) serve? I am sure his son Laird, Jr. (1756-1840) did as there are several records out there. His other son, John Burns probably did as well. I am trying to find out if the third son, James Burns (1746-?1818) did as he is my line. I have a note stating the James was given land in Chester, SC for his service, but I cannot find any documentation proving his service.
