State of Kentucky, County of Harrison.
On the 13th day of July 1818 before me, the undersigned, one of the circuit 
judges for the Commonwealth aforesaid personally appeared Jesse Rose, aged 
about 68 years, resident in Harrison County in said state, who being by me 
first duly sworn according to law, doth make the following declaration in order 
to obtain the provision made by the Act of Congress entitled an act to provide 
for certain persons engaged in the land and naval service of the United States 
in the Revolutionary War. That he enlisted as a private in the State of 
Virginia in the company commanded by Captain Shelton in the year 1777 or 
thereabouts. That he was afterward transferred to Capt. Payton's company and 
continued to serve in that company as a private soldier until some time after 
the expiration of the term for which he enlisted which was three years. That 
Capt. Shelton's company and Capt. Payton's company both belonged to the third 
Virginia Regiment until a short time after the battle of Germantown when they 
were transferred to the second Virginia Regiment. That both the 2nd and 3rd 
Virginia Regiments belonged to the Virginia Line on the continental 
establishment. That he was at the battle of Monmouth and several skirmishes. 
That from his reduced circumstances in life he stands in need of assistance 
from the country for support and that he has no other evidence now in his power 
of his said services. Sworn to and declared before me this day and year 
aforesaid. John Trimble.

I, John Trimble, Judge of the Circuit Court for Harrison County in the State of 
Kentucky, do certify that it appears to my satisfaction that said Jesse Rose 
did, as a private soldier, serve in the Revolutionary War as stated in the 
preceeding affidavit against the common enemy for the term of nine months on 
the continental establishment and I now transmit the evidence and proceedings 
taken before me to the secretary for the war department pursuant to the 
directions of this aforementioned Act of Congress, and I do further certify 
that from his reduced circumstances in life the said Rose stands in need of 
assistance from his country for support. In temtimony whereof I have hereunto 
set my hand and caused the seal of the Harrison Circuit Court to be opened the 
day and year first above written. John Trimble.
