Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your request for information relative to Joseph Jackson, a soldier of the Revolutionary War who served from Virginia and was pensioned from Kentucky.
The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in the pension claim, W. 7884, based on the military service of Joseph Jackson.
Joseph Jackson was born in Bedford County, Virginia. The date of his birth and the names of his parents are not shown.
While living in Bedford County, Virginia, he enlisted in July, 1777, as private in Captain Charles Gwatkins' Virginia company. He was transferred to Captain Daniel Boone's Virginia company in December, 1777, and on February 8, 1778, while on guard at the "lower Blue Licks" he and Daniel Boone and others, twenty-seven in all, were captured by the British and Indians and he was held prisoner until the Treaty of Peace in 1783.
After his release from captivity he remained among the British traders and had no regular place of residence until about 1800 when he settled in Madison County, Kentucky. About two years later he moved to Bourbon County, Kentucky, a few miles from Paris where he continued to live.
Joseph Jackson was allowed pension on his application executed August 22, 1832, at which time he was living in Bourbon County, Kentucky, and stated that he was then seventy-five years of age.
He died May 10, 1844, in Bourbon County, Kentucky.

This soldier married August 20, 1801, in Madison County, Kentucky, Charlotte Payne.
On account of the Revolutionary War service of Joseph Jackson, his widow, Charlotte, was allowed pension on her application executed May 25, 1853, at which time she was sixty-eight years of age and was living in Gilmer, Adams County, Illinois.
In 1855 she was living in Knox County, Missouri.

Inclosed is the application of Joseph Jackson for a pension under the act of last session. It differs perhaps from the majority of cases in some respects. But I conceive it to come within the literal expression of the act, the service having been performed during the Revolutionary war, and against the common enemy and her allies. I hope the Department may view it as being embraced within the provisions of the law - Please direct your answer to me at Paris, Kentucky -
