State of Pennsylvania
Erie County ss } On this, Sixth day of August 1832 personally appeared in open Court before the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas within and for the Coun- ty of Erie, being a Court of Record, now sitting Lyman Bachman, a resident of the Township of Conneaut in the County of Erie and State of Pennsylvania, aged Seventy six years, who first being duly sworn according to Law, oath, on his oath, make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7 1832 - That he entered the service of the United States, under the following named officer, and served, as herein stated:
In the months of January and February 1775 I was a resident of the Town of Ulster, in the County of Berks in the State of Pennsylvania, and in one of those months, I enlisted in the Regiment commanded by Col. John Elihu Potts, in the Company commanded by Capt. William Bacon to serve for the period of twelve months from the first day of December 1775 - About the first of April 1776 we marched from Stockbridge in the State of Massachusetts to Fort Ticonderoga in order to reinforce the army under at the siege of Quebec. We went on through a part of Massachusetts and Vermont to Scheenstown on Lake Champlain, and there took water for Quebec, and went on to Quebec - General Montgomery had fallen in the month of December before that time - We arrived at Quebec on the 27th of April, and remained there till the 16th of May, when we retreated. I was taken sick of the small Pox, & suffered extremely by sickness, expo- sure and prostration, was sent to the Hospital at Fort George, and was sent home sick some time in the month of July. General Thomas had the

command of our Army, he died at Albany, and General Sullivan then took the command at crownpoint The name of our Lieutenant Colonel Tom M'ayin's name was, Morgan, Capt. Bacon commanded our Company.
In the fall of the year 1776 in the month of November (as I believe) I enlisted in a Company of Rangers, raised to scour the woods, in Albany County (then no police) in the State of New York commanded by Capt. Alexander Baldwin. This Company was raised to serve during the siege of Saratoga. I enlisted in this Company in the place of one Daniel Lawrence for the period of six months. Capt. Baldwin and about one half of his men were taken Prisoners by surprise, at a place where they were encamped on Lake George - They were taken prisoners to Canada; this was in the Spring of 1777, and shortly afterwards the Company was disbanded and I was dismissed and returned home. During the time we were in service, we were em- ployed a part of the time in scouting in the woods, and were afterwards ordered down the North River to a place called Fort Constitution of which place is now called Fort Point, and were afterwards ordered up the River again - We took a good many Prisoners during this time. At one time I went to Fort, some seven or eight miles from Albany - I was discharged from this Service of duty in the latter part of May 1777 -
In the month of July 1777 there was an alarm raised by the invasion of General Burgoyne and a call for one half of the Militia to turn out in defence of the Northern Frontier - I then vol- -unteered in the Company commanded by Capt. Ebenezer Cady in Col. Whiting's Regiment of Militia - I was then living at New Canaan, in Albany County in the State of New York. I served in this term about two months, and was then dismissed and went home.

of duty, Col. Brown of the Ill. spahis, with his Regiment was cut  cut by the British and Indians who destroyed Sccharie-
In the latter part of October 1780, I was at Fort St. Clair - a party of Eight men were ordered out to destroy the Boats of the Enemy at Oneida Lake, and they were all made prisoners, excepting two who escaped. The men who escaped, were Sargent Ackley and Captain Orchard -
He has no documentary evidence in his possession; his horse having once been burnt and all his papers destroyed. - He firmly relinquishes all claim whatever to a Pension or annuity, except the pension and claim that his name is not on the Pension roll of the army of any State. - He made application for a Pension in June 1818 and his papers were returned with a note endorsed on them that Porter, Adjutant General was not on the Continental establishment. - We hope to be able to obtain the testimony of some witnesses to his services -
That he was born in Simsbury, Hartford County Connecticut in the year Seventeen hundred & sixty six. There is no record of his age nor of his discharge - they being burnt with his house - That among his present neighbors are Revd George Hunt, John Salesbury Esq. & Eli Cotton and Judge John Grubb - who can prove his character. - Before the close of the war he resided in Vermont, after twelve years residence removed to New York. Twenty seven years ago came to Erie County, Pennsylvania - Now submitted this { Lyman Jackson Sixth day of August in Open Court

On this Tour, we went first to Albany, then to Fort George, and was employed in scouting the woods and bringing off stores, & Col  Colone Whiting commanded on Regiment - Asa Waterman was Lieutenant Colonel - Philip Trimbbee was Major, he was not on that Tour.
In the latter part of September 1777 I enlisted with Capt Ebenezer Benjamin, in Colonel Livingston, Regiment of New York Line, to serve for the term of three months, - we were assigned to General Glines Brigade. We were ordered to Still-water and Saratoga. Major John Schuyler - then commanded on Regiment at the time of the action with Burgoyne.

General Fellows of the Massachusetts Militia, and General Schuyler of the New York Militia were also there - I was discharged at the expiration of three months, for - the term I had the option and went home.

We were marched to Cherry Valley - the State of New York, then on the Frontier, to protect the Inhabitants from the Indians and Tories. There was a Regiment of Continental Troops stationed there and we were called on to reinforce them. The name of the Colonel of that Regiment was Selden, the Field Colonel was Stacy, the Major's name was Whitney. I was not one month on this Tour when the Tories returned by another class of the Militia coming to our relief I was then discharged and went home.

In the month of November 1778 I was called out on a term of duty in the Militia under the command of Capt. Zidek Kings. We were from Schenectady in the State of New York to Schenectady to guard the Frontier. I served as a Sergeant on this term of duty. We went to Schenectady, and were one month on this term of duty, when I was dismissed and returned home again. The inhabitants of Schenectady were during military duty there at that time.
In the month of September 1779 I was again called out in the Militia to perform a term of three months duty, in a Company under the command of Capt. Kings, in Colonel Platt, Regiment of Militia. I served on this term as a Sergeant. It was said that we were elected for New York. We were marched down the Mohawk River as far as Fort  Fish Kill; then were five Regiments of Militia collected at Fort  Fish Kill - One of those Regiments were commanded by Col. Hopkins, and one of them by Col. Doughty - We lay at Fish Kill till we were discharged - The whole period we served on this term was about three months.
In the Spring of the year 1780, I enlisted at New Canaan in the State of New York in Capt. Lathrop's Allen Company in Col. John Kensey, Regiment in the New York State lines for the term of three months. I was appointed a Sergeant in this Company and served as such on that term. We went first to Schenectady, and remained there about one month - Then we went on to the Mohawk River, to Fort Herkimer, and remained there three or four months. From there we went to Fort Stanwix and remained there till within a few days of the time our term of service was out, when we were marched back to Schenectady and were discharged about the first of December 1780 - at the time I was on this term.

Mr. H. N. Jackson, 112 N. Fifth Ave., Atchison, Kansas.
Sir:
In response to your letter dated the 15th ultimo and received the 17th, relative to the name of the son of Lyman Jackson, a Revolutionary War soldier (Widow File 2806), you are advised that said son signed as D. B. Jackson to an affidavit executed August 11, 1837, and the name as it appears in the body of said paper might be either Daniel or David, the writing being rather illegible.
Very respectfully,
Acting Commissioner.

Hon. Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:-
I beg to acknowledge receipt of your favor of 11th inst., with statement of records of O.W. and N. Division, A.W. widow File 2806, Rev. War, and others, and now beg to ask one further favor.
In the report sent me of the military history of Lyman Jackson, the names of the children given are "a son, Daniel B; and a daughter, Rosanna, (age 55 in 1838), who married John Rudd, Jr. while her parents lived in Otsego Co. New York". Said son named as "Daniel B." was my father, but the correct name was "David B." and I beg to ask if there may not possibly be an error in the information sent me. I do not think it probable that an error was made in such copy, but all of the other facts stated in the history of said Lyman Jackson corresponds with our family record so accurately that I am absolutely certain that my father was the son so named in such information as "Daniel B".
H.M.J.-M.C.
Very respectfully yours,
H. M. Jackson
