Revolutionary War record of Jacob Youngblood, a pensioner who died
in 1839, in Fountain County, Indiana, also, the record of any other
soldier of the Revolutionary War with the surname Youngblood.

In order to identify the record of any other revolutionary
War soldier with the surname Youngblood, his full name is essential,
also, the approximate dates of his birth and death, and residences at 
enlistment and after service.  The record of Jacob Youngblood is given 
herein as found in his claim for pension, S. 17219.

Jacob Youngblood was born sometime in June, 1750, in North
Carolina; the day of his birth, exact place, and the names of his 
parents are not shown.

He resided in 1774, in Georgia, and was called out under Joseph Cob and served one month against the Indians.

Jacob Youngblood, while a resident of Edgefield District, 
South Carolina, enlisted and served in Captain John Ryan's company,
Colonel Le Roy Hammond's South Carolina regiment, and was stationed
during the battle of Stono as an outpost under Captain Hatcher, length
of service six months; about two years later, he enlisted, served in 
Captain John Ryan's company, Colonel Le Roy Hammond's South Carolina 
regiment, was in the Siege of Augusta, after which he was sent by General

the last of October; subsequently, he served on different tours in the 
the South Carolina troops engaged against the Indians and Tories, one
