He entered the service in the time of the Revolutionary War in Amelia County and State of Virginia where he then resided under Capt. Lewis Ford for the term of three months and served until he was discharged which he thinks was at about the end of the three months for which he entered - he does not remember the names of any of the Field Officers or Company Officers except his said Captain and Booker who was his Lieutenant. From the County of Amelia we were marched to Petersburg and from thence to a place on James River (the name of the place not recollected) where we remained until we were discharged by Captain Ford discharged him by parole - and he never had any written discharge.

He was called out on the (2) above tour to prevent the British from crossing James River - he does not remember the day or month when when he performed this tour which he thinks was in the year 1780  about the time Genl. Tarleton was passing through Virg- -inia with his light horse - He and those who serv- ed with him on this tour were called by divisions - called today by troops in a company, and he therefore supposes he was drafted. - during this first tour he was put under Green a Wagon Master - and served under said Wagon Master in the transportation of baggage from Dr. until at the end of the tour he was discharged by Capt. Wood as aforesaid - during this tour he was bound to service as a soldier, and never made any contract to get paid for his services in any way -
The second tour that he served was for three months, he was then called out by divi- -sions as in the first tour, was rendezvoused at Richmond thence marched down James River but upon the opposite side to that on which he was first stationed on his first tour - (name of the place not reme- -bered) the object was again to prevent the British light horse from passing James River - from thence we were marched up James River watching the movements of the British into Albemarle County - we were then marched to a place near Rich- -mond - where he remained in service until he was discharged - but by whom he was

(3) discharged he does not remember. He does not recollect the names of any of his Field or company officers on this last tour except the name of the Wagon Master which was Anthony Hunley. — during this tour he was again employed under Hunley in the transportation of the baggage & munitions of war provisions & for the American soldiers. He does not remember the day or month or year when he performed this but thinks it was in 1781. second tour — but remembers it as when the British light horse & army were aiming to come to Arch- =ford Virginia. — that he was never in any engagement — and always served as a Militia man.
He also hired two men as substitutes for him, to serve tours each of three months in the American Army during the Revolution- ary war, who did serve as far as he knows or believes their respective tours. but he does not remember their names, the day, month, or year, when they entered the service, nor the names of any of the officers Field or company under whom they served.
He has no documentary evidence of his service, but he is known to and Capt. John Morton Benjamin Lockhart of Clark County who can testify that he was in the service. He is also known to David Hampton Esq. Shelton Allan Esq. our present member of Congress. James Clark Esq. his son Francis

A Jackson - dothers - who (4) can testify to his credit and character of a man and their belief of his services. He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present, and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any state - and he further states that he is blind and some age and bodily infirmity is unable to go to the Clark Circuit Court - he lost his waggon and eight horses, by their being pressed into the American service during the Revolutionary war, at a time when he himself was not in the service.

Richard French Judge of probate

State of Kentucky Clark County (5) Set.
Personally appeared before me Richard French sole Judge of the Clark Circuit Court for the County of said, on this 5 th day of October, 1832. Benjamin Lockett of said County - who deposes , that he was seventy years old on the 27 th day of August last - was born in Amelia County Virginia, became acquainted with Josiah Jackson (now of Clark County Ky.) in Amelia County Virginia in the year 1778 - knows that said Jackson served as a Soldier in the Militia of Virginia in the time of the revolutionary war in the year 1780 to the best of his recollection - He served as many as two Tours, but the length of the tours he does not remember - said Jackson served in both tours with his waggon & team, by helping to transport provisions, munitions of war, & for the American soldiers - The affiant does not remember the names of any of the Company or Field Officers that said Jackson served under, except the name of his waggon Master, which was "Anthony Hunley" - The affiant remembers that said Jackson was drafted on both the above occasions or (as it was then called) by divisions often in a company - He also remembers, that said Jackson lost his waggon and team in the service, being pressed - and the affiant never knew or heard of any bargain by which said Jackson was to get paid for his services, or that of his waggon and team in any way, but on the contrary said Jackson was compelled to serve.

as a militia man as agreed (6) He also states that said Jackson ever since he knew him has main- tained a fine moral character. The officer removed to Clark County Ky in 1803 - said Jackson then lived in the last named County, and still does and he knows him intimately -
Benjamin Lockett
Francis H Jackson states that he is the son of the said Josiah Jackson was born in Amelia County Virginia on the 4 th day of February 1776, and remembers his Father's return home as a soldier, but does not remember when he entered the Service. He always understood that his said Father actually served as a militia man in the revolutionary war, two years each of three months, and furnished substitutes on two other years, each of which was also for three months - so that his said Father by actual service himself and by his said substitutes claimed a year's service -
He remembers his Father lost eight horses and understood he lost a waggon in the revolutionary war -
He was very young when these transactions took place, but believes his memory as to what occur- red in his infancy was extraordinarily good -
His Father moved to Kentucky from Virginia in 1786 lived the first year (or possibly a year) in what is now Madison County Ky - and ever since in Clark County Ky - He has never heard any one in the neighbour- hood or elsewhere, doubt the fact that his Father was a soldier in the revolution, and served as his said Father states - He believes his said Father as of the age he states - and he knows his Father's memory has greatly failed him from old age infirmity etc and has been blind eight or nine years - He has always understood that his Father never received one cent for his services or waggon & horses - nor had he any agreement for pay for them - but was bound to service as a drafted soldier -

John Evans also states, that he has known the said Josiah Jackson for upwards of twenty years, and that for back (perhaps longer) he understood said Josiah Jackson had been a man of considerable property but had got broke up, and has since learned that he got broke up by what occurred in the Revolutionary war. He has for the last three or four years understood and believes that said Josiah served in the Revolutionary war, as he states in his declaration - has never heard it doubt- ed or questioned by any body - The said Josiah lives with his son John Francis H. Jackson and has for the last five or six years is a moral man and has ever since he knew him maintained a fine moral character.

John Morton also states that in the years 1777 1778 1779-1780. and 1781 he was well acquainted in Amelia County Virginia with Josiah Jackson and has no doubt in his own mind that said Jackson served

8 as a soldier in the revolutionary war as he states, although he was not with him, for he well remembers to have heard at the time that said Jackson lost his waggon in the service and his horses died in consequence of the injuries they sustained in the service - He was well acquainted during the same years with Capt Lewis Ford, and that said Ford served as a Infantry Captain in the revolutionary war, and he thinks about the years 1780 and 1781 - He was also well acquainted with Anthony Hunley, who acted as a Waggon Master in Virginia in the revolutionary war - For said Hunley brought some of his horses to the affiant's Blacksmith Shop who shod them for him, and remembers he shod one with steel shoes, and that said Hunley told him on his return that they staid on six months, with but one
removal - The affiant was seventy six years of age on the 16 th day of August last - He moved to Kentucky from Prince Edward County Virginia in the year 1790 - and has lived ever since on his present Farm, in what is now Clark County -
He has been well acquainted with Jackson Jackson ever since he first knew him in Virginia, for in 1790 the said Jackson lived a neighbour to him in Clark County and they have both lived in the same county ever since - and as far as ever he knew or heard said Jackson was an honest good man - and further he saith not

Sir
Enclosed herewith I send you the papers in support of the claim of Mrs Sarah Jackson widow of Isaac for pension under Act 3rd July 1853 —
The case I believe to be perfect as with the explanation of her name before marriage. — — — — — Her maiden name was Ray and she says that she was married to Stump and that he died long time ago — 60 years — She has but two children — one of them died at 9 years — the other went off when about grown to Mississippi and she never heard of him afterwards — so she remained with her mother and stepfather and was generally called Sarah Ray and when I asked her what name she was married in she could not tell — Hence I put it down with no alias — But the postmaster being such informed

in regard to her maiden name I only wrote their statements in relation thereto —
And the same will apply to the statement of Josiah A. Jackson who was a grandson of her husband Josiah Jackson
He had forgotten if he had ever heard it that she was married before she married his father, but knowing her family name to be Ray
With these remarks in explanation I submit the case
Yours Resp y
