admitted
Apric 11 th 1818

I Barnabas Jackson of Fairfield in the County of Plymouth Commonwealth of Massachusetts being a native citizen of the United States, do on oath testify & declare that I served as a private soldier in the War of the Revolution for the term of eighteen months - and from reduced circumstances in life I now need the assistance of my Country for support.
I first enlisted at Newbedford in the County of about March A.D. 1778 Plymouth for the term of nine months into a com- pany commanded by Captain Thayer of the Regi- ment commanded by Col. Baldwin of the Massa- line chusetts I believe - it was a Regiment of Artillery - I marched to Westpoint where I served my full term of nine months - I worked as a Carpenter in con- structing a Fort - I rec d an honorable discharge - afterwards in the month of June A.D. 1779 I agreed to serve nine months for a class who were drafted in the Town of Plympton to supply a man to help fill up vacancies in the Army by the requisition of Government - I marched again to Westpoint where I joined Muster & joined Captain Gage's company of the Regiment commanded by Col. Weston of the Massachusetts line, I believe, it was of Sargent's brigade. I served there my term of nine months & was then honorably discharged - both my discharges were lost I believe soon after my return - I did not think them of any consequence & took no care to preserve them.
