Dear Madam:

  Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of Jared Kimball and Jonathan Jacobs who, you state, were both pensioned from Trumbull County, Ohio.

   Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims of pension and bounty land made to the United States based upon military service of soldiers in that war.

    A careful search of the records fails to show such claims on file on account of the service of any Jonathan Jacobs who either served or was pensioned from Ohio.  The record of Jared Kimball was found and is given herein as shown in the papers on file in pension claim, S. 41730, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.

    Jared Kimball was born January 21, 1765 in the State of Connecticut; the exact location of birth and names of his parents are not shown.

    He enlisted at "Highland, near West Point'. about February 1, 1781, served as private in Captain John Reily's company, Colonel Samuel B. Webb's 3d Connecticut Regiment, was in frequent skirmishes with the enemy, locations of which were not given, and was discharged the last of October, 1783, after which he returned to his father's home.

     The soldier resided in Connecticut until sometime after the Revolutionary War.

     Jared Kimball was allowed pension on his application executed June 9, 1818, while a resident of Bloomfield, Trumbull County, Ohio, where he was still living in 1823.
Page 15

    He died January 3, 1832.
   
    Soldier's wife, whose name was not given, was born in May, 1770.  The names of the following children are shown: Minerva, the eldest, born in April, 1792; the eldest son, name not stated, was aged twenty years in 1820; Norma, born in July, 1803; Jacob, born in May, 1806; Pamelia, born in July, 1808, and Cordelia. born in August, 1814.

    In 1819, Richard Kimball, soldiers brother, who served part of the time with him n the Revolution, was residing in Randolph, Orange County, Vermont, where he had lived nearly twenty years.

    In 1819, one John Kimball made affidavit in Genesee County, New York, in behalf of the soldier, Jared Kimball, but did not state relationship to hm.

       Very truly yours

Bloomfield Novr 20th 1819
Honored Sir
  I have at length obtained two affidavits stating my service in the Revolutionary war sometime has elapsed and the business been procrastinated by letters miscarrying - I should been pleased if I could have obtained other Evidence but it is so long since that war and my not living long in the State of Connecticut after that war was at a close and my brother soldiers being dispersed over the Country so that I do not know where to find them but I presume were I able to take a journey into the State of Connecticut I could find some that served with me in that war but labouring under the infirmities of broken bones and Rheumatic complaints I cannot make such a Journey on foot & being destitute of property I cannot hire a horse nor find money for expense, therefore if there should remain any doubt in your mind of my services I beg you to send to the Comptrollers office in Connecticut where every doubt may be removed for I drew Soldiers rates as State notes [last three words inserted] I think at that office in part pay for my services.  I have been very unfortunate a few years past by unforeseen accidents and misfortunes    I have lost what little property that   I once possessed but I have the consolation that I have not needlessly spent it on many things   I could name my misfortunes but I conceive it will do no good.  Were I able to procure the common necessaries of life I should be too proud & Patriotic to ask my Country for the help but being [illegible word] by poverty and since Government has made provisions for [last word inserted] this poor soldier which is destitute of property I thought and still do think that I have a much more righteous claim than many who have obtained a pension
Page 19

If there is need of more proof of my needy circumstances I can procure as - many evidences as there is people that know me and my situation, but what I have provided should be satisfactory and you should see fit to enter my name on the pension list it would make my old Broken bones rejoice

  With high consideration & esteem
I am your obedient Humble Servt

Washington City  Decm 27th 1823 -

Sir  I transmit the application of Jared Kimball to be placed on the pension list together with the letters of Mr. Brown addressed to me.  I have a partial acquaintance with Mr. Kimball and is circumstances, and can assure you that he sustains a good character and have no doubt of the correctness of his statement.  Mr. Brown is a near neighbor to him, and is a gentleman of the finest respectability, as is also Mr. Howe the witness.  I think Mr. Parsons has made a mistake towards the case of Mr. Howes deposition when he makes the deponent say he has 'no doubt that he is the same Jared Kimball as set forth in the above 
& Mr Howes and Mr Kimball live within a mile and an half of each Other have so resided for several years; and to my knowledge were both present in Court at the times this Schedule and depositions were signed and sworn to.  
                        With Sentiments of Respect
                         I am Your Obednt Servnt
