To all,

I have been interested in the Revolutionary Soldiers of Jessamine County
for a great many years.   I taught others on this list enjoy reading
about these remarkable men.  I will start with the data on each and end
with a list of the ones I have discovered in this county.


REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIER - Lord Cornwallis surrendered the British Army to
the Americans at Yorktown on October 19, 1781.  This would be the
decisive and last major battle of the Revolutionary War.  It is said that
the American' band played one of their favorite songs, "Yankee Doodle
Dandy".  The British' band played an Old English lullaby called "The
World Turned Upside Down".  One might wonder what the Old Revolutionary
Soldier would think if he saw his world today? Would he be proud of what
he saw?  Could he even comprehend what has taken place?  Or would he
truly think that his world too had been Turned Upside Down.  After the
close of the Revolutionary War, Kentucky saw a great influx of veterans
migrate into the state. Jessamine County received more than its share of
these old soldiers.  Many of them took up land and became farmers. 
Others acquired trades that sustained them quite well.  A few were not so
fortunate.  Some became discontent and moved on to new territories. Some
even turned to alcohol to relieve their problems.  In 1818 Congress
passed an act in the form of a pension to relieve some of the suffering
these old soldiers were facing.  This gesture was a good one, although,
it did have several drawbacks.  The money offered was a measly sum, even
for those days.  It also only benefited those who could prove that they
were destitute or in dire need of assistance.  Some of the Pension
Applications were read aloud and then entered into the Jessamine County
Court Records.  One can but imagine the mixed emotions these old soldiers
must have felt at the time.  He was extremely proud of the part he had
played in the War that won the freedom of his country.  But, on the other
hand, he had to admit that his life had been somewhat of a failure.  Even
though many years had passed, the memories of the war were so etched in
his mind he could name most of the battles in which he had served.  He
sometimes became a bit confused about the dates, but never about the
battles or officers he had served under. If he had been wounded in battle
and he mentioned this, it was only as a matter of pride and not to gain
sympathy.  In 1832 congress revised this Pension Act and lessened the
restrictions to the applicant.  This enabled some of the soldiers and
widows to apply that did not qualify for the 1818 Pension Act.  As so
often with the government, it was too little too late.  Most of the old
soldiers, by this time, had passed into another world.  Only a handful
remained behind to benefit.  On the following page you will find a list
of Revolutionary Soldiers who chose Jessamine County as their home. 
Following this, you will find extracts of pension papers taken from
either the Court Order Books in the Jessamine County Courthouse or the
Archives in Washington D.C.  I am quite certain that this list consist of
only a small portion of the Revolutionary soldiers who lived and died in
Jessamine County. With the exception of a small plaque placed in the
courthouse yard, no other tribute was ever paid to these old soldiers in
Jessamine County.  The small family graveyards where many of them are
buried, are slowly being destroyed, either through neglect or to make way
for new developments.  I sincerely think that some attempt should be made
to identify as many of these gravesites as possible.  We could pay no
greater tribute to these Revolutionary Soldiers and what they stand for,
than to protect their last resting-places.
