Dear Sir:
We appreciate very much your letter of March 11 with regard to our inquiry of January 27 for the records of David Jamesson. That he fought throughout the Revolutionary War under Washington's command and was mustered out in Philadelphia, we know. We know, also, that he lived the last years of his life at Paris, Kentucky and received his pension there. He mentions his pension in his will which was probated September 2, 1853. We do not know the date of his birth nor when he came to Kentucky.
Recently we saw that David Jamison was in the Third Battalion of the York Associators (Pennsylvania) and asked for information concerning him, supposing he was the David Jamesson we wished to trace. We do not know in what capacity our great grandfather served in the Revolutionary War, but wish to find out all we can concerning him. We shall appreciate your further investigation. Enclosed is our previous correspondence for which you ask.
Yours very truly,
