JESSE SAMPLE (OR SAMPLEY)



   Jesse Sample or Sampley applied for revolutionary pension in Rhea County,

Tennessee, in 1833. He was born in 1763 or 1764 in Spartanburg, South Carolina.

He moved with his parents to Edgefield District, S. C., and to Richmond County,

Georgia, where his father was killed by Tories and his home destroyed. Jesse

Sample returned to Edgefield where he enlisted in June 1799. He served in

Captain John Carter's company, Colonel LeRoy Hammond's regiment. He enlisted

again in 1789 and served in Captain James Withers' company, Colonel Hugh Horry's

South Carolina regiment and was in a skirmish on Little Peedee River and in

battles of Fort Watson and Fort Motte. He enlisted again in Captain Jacob Wise's

South Carolina company. After the Revolution he lived in Edgefield District with

his mother. He moved to Georgia, returned to South Carolina, moved to Tennessee

where he lived in several East Tennessee Counties. In 1839 he was living Jackson

County, Alabama, having removed from Tennessee because his children whose names

are not given, lived there.
