Samuel Jackson, Jr. was disowned from the Westfield Friends Church due to marrying "out of unity." He enlisted and served at various times in 1780 and 1781 as a private under Captain William David in Col.Smith's Regiment. He was captured by the Tories during this time, but soon released and discharged after the surrender of Cornwallis. He was granted a pension of $20.00 per year on his application which was executed in Stokes, North Carolina on 15 Mar 1833. The early census records use the names Samuel Jackson, Sr. and SamuelJackson, Jr, and Samuel Jr., gave almost the same information in his request for pension that Jacob Jackson gave on his "Testimony." He stated he was born in Chester Co., PA and that his parents moved to Rowan Co.,North Carolina when he was around 12 years old. When his parents, Samuel and Catherine Jackson moved to Tom's Creek, their land was in Surry Co., but when Stokes County was formed in 1789, the line was drawn at Westfield and Samuel Jackson, Sr. found his land had been divided by the county line. Samuel Jackson, Jr.'s land was in Stokes Co. North Carolina . On the 15th day of March 1832, personally appeared in open court before the Justice of the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions,for the County of Stokes: Samuel Jackson, a resident of North Carolina and the county of Stokes,aged about 74 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 7 Jun 1832. That he entered the service of the US under the following named officers, and served at known stations. He states first that he was born in the year 1758 in the state of PA a few miles from the City of Philadelphia, on the Delaware River. 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 that is now called Davidson Co. 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 in Stokes Co. At other times in County of Rowan, that since the Revolutionary War 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 volunteered and was put in service and appointed to guard Tory prisoners, at Old Town in Bethabara. That afterwards in the year of 1780, and the second place he served under Captain Gaines, father of General Gains, and he said that he was employed in guarding British soldiers taken prisoners at the Battle of Kings Mountain, and served for one month. Afterwards 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, whose names he cannot now remember. That when engaged in the service mentioned the assignment to which his company was attached was commanded part of the time by Col. William Sheppard and Major Joseph Winston. He recollects while on duty at Old Town a private soldier shot a Sgt. Smith for which offense he was merely whipped. Afterwards, 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 was released, and services and complacement lasted about one month.Shortly after this, in the same year of 1782, he entered service again in a company commanded by Captain Lapp and Lieutenant Bodenhamer and marched toward Wilmington, North Carolina and while on the march, they helped to scatter Tories at "Rafts Swamp" and from there 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, SC and back. They lay in the backwoods until the news assured them that Cornwallis had been taken. He was then marched home and discharged. He recollects that at "Rafts Swamp" there were 200 men of Guilford that were shot. He states 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 also states that in his neighborhood he is known to Charles Banner and Jacob Carson who can testify of his transactions for his service as a soldier of the Revolution. Sworn and submitted this day and year aforesaid - Samuel Jackson - (hismark)
