 Anna M. Priest 19 N. 5th Street Newark, Ohio Dear Madam:  I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S.41687, it appears that Joseph Jackson enlisted in Chester County, Pennsylvania, in February, 1777, and served as a private in Captain John Christie's Company, Colonel Francis Johnston's Pennsylvania Regiment and was discharged in August, 1783. 
He was allowed pension on his application executed April 24, 1818, at which time he was living in Newark, Licking County, Ohio. The date of his birth is not given nor is his age stated and there are no data as to family. Due to very large number of inquiries similar to yours and the lack of a clerical force available for the purpose, only two histories are furnished each inquirer. Very truly yours, EARL D. CHURCH Commissioner.
