SOLDIER-3RD VA REGT. ÒSERVED A TOUR IN 1775, ENLISTED UNDER CAPT. JOHN ASHBY
FAUQUIER AND CULPEPER COUNTY  

WIDOW: ANNE  1 CHILD

  I do with advice of this Council hereby certify that Anne Jenkins, widow of 
Josiah Jenkins, late a private in the service of the United States, is put on 
the pension list and is allowed the sum of eight pounds yearly, commencing from 
the first day of Jan. 1787.  Given under my hand as Governor of the Commonwealth 
of VA, at Richmond, this 17th day of Oct. 1787.  Signed: Henry Lee
Teste: Samuel Coleman

  This day Jeremiah Kansher personally appeared before me, a magistrate of the 
Court of the said County, and made oath that he has been acquainted with Anne 
Jenkins for 20 years and has lived a near neighbor to her for 10 years; that she 
is very old; illiterate and poor, and according to her own account has never 
received her pension from the time of her removal from the County of Fauquier to 
Culpeper, upwards of twenty years ago.  Her age,infirmity, and poverty is such 
that she could not, without extreme inconvenience go to the court house of 
Culpeper County in which she now resides, living as she does about 27 or 28 
miles from the Court House.  Given under my hand and seal this 28th of March, 
1810.  J. Amblin
