Declaration
Greene County ss
In order to obtain the benefit of the third section of the act of Congress of the 4 th July 1836 On this eighth day of September in the year one thousand eight hundred and forty six at a Court of Common Pleas & General Sessions held at the Court house in the village of Catskill in and for said County personally appeared in open Court before the Judges thereof Richard Jackson a resident of the town of Catskill in said County aged fifty two years, who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the act of Congress passed July 4 th 1836.
That he is the son of Rachel Jackson (widow of Hannibal Jackson) who in the Revolutionary war resided in the town of Woodstock in the County of Ulster and according to the best of his recollection he has often heard his parents and several others of his neighbors say that his father the said Hannibal Jackson was engaged as a private soldier during the greater part of the Revolutionary war. That part of the time he was engaged in the Militia of Ulster County and part of the time he served in the lines in defence of the frontiers of Ulster County, which in all he thinks would amount to nearly two years, this declarant cannot remember any particulars of his father's services, except that he has often heard him say that part of his services he performed under an Officer by the name of Pownling. He further declares that he believes that his father and mother were married in the month of May in the year one thousand seven hundred and seventy five in said town of Woodstock, that he thinks the ceremony was performed

by the Reverend Henry Cockburn of Sangersfield of said County of Ulster, that his mother's maiden name previous to her marriage was Rachel Granus. That his father the said Hannibal Jackson died on the _____ day of September in the year one thousand eight hundred and six in said town of Woodstock, & left a widow the said Rachel Jackson who after the death of her husband moved into the town of Catskill in the County of Greene where she remained until the day of her death, which took place on the twenty seventh day of July one thousand eight hundred and forty one, that she did not intermarry but remained the widow of the said Hannibal Jackson deceased.
He further declares that previous to and since the death of his mother the said Rachel he has attempted to obtain proof of his father's services and of his marriage, but until within a few months his search proved unavailing. That he has at last succeeded in obtaining the affidavits of Adam Brink of Ulster County & of his uncle John Newman also of Ulster County, this together with the fragments of his parents family record is all the testimony he has been able to procure, all of which is herewith annexed.
Sworn to and subscribed in open County Richard Jackson on the day and year first above writ ten before me Wm Durson Clerk.
