State of Kentucky, and by County of Bath ss
On this 8 th day of October, 1882, personally appeared in open Court, before the Hon. Silas W. Robbins sole judge, of the Circuit Court of Bath County, State of Kentucky, now sitting, William Jamerson, a resident of said County and State aforesaid, aged about 73 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 Act of Congress passed June 7, 1852. — That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers, and served as herein stated. — That he entered the service of the United States in the latter part of Fall season of the year 1780, for a term of five months , as a substitute for my brother, John Jamerson, who had been drafted for that term; and in discharge of that engagement, marched, immediately, under the command of Capt. John Birt and Gen. Stephens of Culpepper, Co. Va. and proceeded through Fredericksburg and Richmond, and down the country into North Carolina through Hillsborough and Salisbury in that State, and down into South Carolina, on the Pedee River, to the Cheraw hills: Then crossed up the said Pedee, and came in contact with the British at the Island Ford at the Watkin River, when they were engaged by our rear-guard; but soon gave way. — This took place between Guilford and Salisbury North Carolina. From there we were marched into Virginia, to Petersburg old Court House, and were discharged at that place, in the Spring season of the year 1781. — I marched from here, in a detachment, under command of Lieut. William Harrow, to Prince William County, Va. and was discharged: We were discharged a few days, I think, after our said term of five months had expired; but I cannot, at the present, certainly establish as such. I received a pension and

I entered or left the service; but recollect distinctly that I was on this 5 months tour, at the date of the battle of the Cowpens .
When I returned home in the spring 1781, another draft had been ordered for men, for a term of Three Months , and my brother John, who had just returned from winter, stood the draft in my name and place, and upon him. The lot fell as one; I, therefore, immediately on my return, again entered the service of the United States, in my own name, in said Prince William Co. Va. for a term of Three Months , under Capt. Warren, under the command of Maj: Ramsay; and forthwith marched to Fredericksburg, and through the Williamsburg on to, what was called, the Half-way House below said Williamsburg, where we had a slight engagement with the British; from there we were marched to Williamsburg - then on to Richmond, and was there, on Shockoe Hill , when the British burnt Manchester Ware house, opposite. From there we returned to said Prince William County, and, our Three Months having expired, we were there discharged; and I have no recollection whether I received a written discharge for this service; but refer to the Depositions appended to this declaration, as the only living testimony, which I know of, by which I can establish my services. I was born in Prince William County and state of Virginia, in the year, I believe, 1759, and am 73 years of age. My Father kept a record of my age, but I know not what has become of it.
I hereby relinquish every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present, and declare that my name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any state in the United States.

Commissioner, Department of the Interior, Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:
I am very anxious to get the Revolutionary records of William Jameson of Virginia and am wondering if it is asking too much of you to hunt this up for me.
I find him referred to as having served in his brother Capt. John Jameson Regiment of Dragoons-Virginia- 16th June 1776 also Major John Jameson's First Continental Dragoons March 1st 1777.
Also in "Clarks Colonial & State Records" of North Carolina- there is a William Jameson listed as a Private who was pensioned.
In a William & Mary Quarterly I found this: "The following gentlemen produced their commissions in Court and took the oath of a Militia Officer as by law directed, January Court 1778."
In the S. A. R. Year Book- Kentucky Society, William Jameson is named in alphabetical Index of Pensioners.
In other places I find a reference to William Jameson Private Virginia Militia who received a Pension on March 6th, 1833 of $26.66.
Eckenrode enlists him too as a Rev. Soldier in Virginia.
If you will give me the records on this William Jameson, I will greatly appreciate it very much. If his Fathers name appears on any of the records please give me this and the name of his wife.
Thanking you in advance, I am
Yours very truly,
Mrs R. F. Stowell

Sir:
To my inquiry as to the service of William Jamieson in the Revolution your office first replies that he served under Genl. Stephens; the second reply is that he served under Genl. Stevens. I assume that you know that there were two generals in Va. who spelled their names thus. - One of them was Genl. Adam Stephens and other was Genl. Edward Stevens - the latter lived and died in Culpeper Co. Will you please have a re-examination made and find how the name is spelled - and also have them note from what time and to what time William Jamieson served? These dates are important - to place the mon. An early answer is desired

MS Commission of Pensions Washington D.C. Dear Sir, - I desire to find if we had any ancestors with a Revolutionary record. The beginning as far as I can ascertain was when Robert Jameson, emigrated to America, and settled in Bourbon

Co Ky - What nation- ality he was is not well known by any of his progeny now living. He had seven sons - Jim was my grandfather's father - and is the eldest son of Robert Jameson of Bourbon Co Ky - I do not understand how to proceed - to find out

If my grandfathers mother & people were in Revolutionary army struggle - would it be possible to look it up she was Susan Lockhart daughter of Jacob Lockhart of Pennsylvania My Mother Mother was Orugilla Harrison cousin to President Harrison At the close of Revolutionary War

At close of the war W m Jamelson was 22 or 23 years old x If they were in the war is not their name on the Russian roll? This is why I dare to address you - I thank you in advance for the trouble it will be to look this up
Hopefully & sincerely I am
