JAMESON, JOHN                 PEN.  214                      1783-1789
SERGEANT-COL. BUFORD'S DETACHMENT
ROCKBRIDGE COUNTY
     
     I do certifie that John Jameson enlisted for 18 months the 1st April 1779 
and served as a serjeant in Col. Buford's Detachment and he was captured at 
Buford's Defeat after receiving several wounds--he never received any pay and 
was exchanged at __ after the expiration of he time he was enlisted.  K. BONYAR, 
LT. 1ST REGT. 8 OCT. 1793.

     On examination find John James has received several wounds by the broad 
sword of bayonet--two wound on the left side of the head and two on the back of 
the head which he says at times affect him greatly and hurt him truly.  Another 
wound on the belly which has occasioned a pitiful misfortune, he complains much 
of and I think with reason.  Three fingers on the right hand are greatly injured 
and disabled and a wound near the humerous of the right arm had done 
considerable injury.  Gen'l Highton and I-and he has also rec'd-think him 
considerably disabled from supporting himself by hard labour and his sufferings 
merit compensation.  W. Foushes, surg.  May 17, 1787
