On the 15th day of March and AD, 1833, personally appeard in open Court before the Justice of the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions, for the County of Stokes now sitting
Samuel Jackson, a resident of North Carolina and the county of Stokes, aged about seventy four years, who being first duly sworn in according to Law, doth on his oath make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of an act of Congress passed June 7, 1832.

That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers, and served at known stations. He stated first that he was born in the year 1758 in the state of Pennsylvania a few miles from the City of Philadelphia, on the river Delaware. That he has no record of his age, that when quite young he moved with his parents to that part of County Rowan in the state of North Carolina now called Davidson.

He states that when he was first called into service he lived in the county of Surry, and that aforesaid was on Dan River now Stokes county. At other times in County of Rowan, that since the Revolution he has lived in the county of Stokes, and lives there now. That he first served in a Company commanded by Captain Joseph Cloud of the county of Stokes, then Surry, in the year of 1780 for a term of four months. Then he Voluntered and was put in service and appointed to guard Tory prisoners, at Old Town of Bathaboro. That afterwards in the yeart of 1780, and the second place he served under Captain Gains, father of General Gains, and he said that he was employed in guarding British soldiers taken prisoner at the Battle of King Mountain, and serve for one month.

Aftwards in the same and succeeding years he was engaged and sent on several scouting parties. In all for a term of one month under different Officers, who's names he now cannot remember. Then when engaged in the service mentioned the assignment to which his company was attached was commanded part of the time by Colonel William Sheppard and Major Joseph Winton. He recollects while on duty at Old Town a private soldier shot a Sergeant Smith for which offense he was merely whipped.

Aftwards I think, in the year 1782 in the county of Rowan, about the time the British marched south toward the Battleground of Guilford, he volunteered his services in a company of militia commanded by Captain William Davis. In which company was chiefly called out to hunt Tories and obtain them. He was taken prisoner by the Tories and after being confined a while he was released, that the service and complacement lasted about one month.

Shortly after this, in the same year 1782 he entered service again in a company commanded by Captain Lapp and Lieutenant Bodenhammer, and marched toward Wilmington, North Carolina, and while on the march they helped to scatter Tories at "Rafts Swamp", and from their he marched to the mouth of the Neuse River where they made an attack, which was occupied by a British Garrison, and then marched toward Georgetown, South Carolina and back. They lay in the backwoods until the news assured them that Cornwallace had been taken. He was then marched home and discharged.

He now recollects in which his company marched to Wilmington was Commanded by Colonel Smith. He now recollects that there was a company along from Moors the Company of Guilford with 20 or 30 men under the Command of Captain Gillespie. He recollects that one Captain Kennedy was along with his company which numbered about 500 men. He recollects the affair at Rafts Swamp there were 200 men of Guilford that was shot. He doesn't recollect whits any part of his named was under the command of any regular officer or in any Company with regular Troops.

He states that he has no documentary evidence of his service, and knows no person who can testify to his service except the testimony of Jacob Idol. He states that in his neighborhood he is known to Charles Banner and Jacob Carson who can testify of his transactions for various of his service as a soldier of the Revolution.

Sworn and submitted this day and year aforesaid.
