On this 23rd day of October 1842, personally
appeared before the Subscriber, a justice of the peace in and
for the county aforesaid Margaret Jamieson, a resident of
Albermarle County and State of Virginia aged Ninety  _ years,
who being first duly Sworn according to law doth on her oath
make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit
of the provision made by the act of Congress passed July 4
1836.  That she is the widow of Samuel Jamieson, who was a 
Soldier in the revolutionary war, and served several tours
of duty in the Virginia Militia, during the revolutionary war;
She does know that he was drafted at least five different times
and she believes for two months each tour. She is unable now
to give the particulars of each and every tour of duty, but would refer
to the testimony that will accompany this declaration.  She is very
certain however of his having served under the Command of Capt.
John Miller in one of the tours of duty and under the Command
of Capt. John Harris and under the command of Capt. Henderson.
She cannot now recollect the names of any other Officers under whom
he served the other tours.  She further declares that she was married
to the said Samuel Jamieson on   day of February 1769.
(Several years before the revolutionary war.)  That her husband
 the aforesaid Samuel Jamieson died on the day of April
1805 and that she has remained his widow ever since that
period, as will more fully appear by reference to the proof hereto
annexed.  She has no recorded evidence of her marriage and does not know if
any now can be found.
