My great-great-great grandfather. If you have any connection to this family I'd love to hear from you.
Samuel Jameson was born in Ireland on 18 Apr 1753. In an undated Revolutionary War Size Roll Samuel is described as: Stature: 5' 6", Hair: brown, Complexion: light, and Eyes: light.
In his pension application he said he was a weaver by trade. In the RIX Manuscript, written by Guy S. Rix, he writes that Samuel served in the British Army in the Indies. When the American Revolution broke out he came to America with that Army and, deserting at the first opportunity, he applied for admission into the American Army. He was brought before General Washington, who said "Go back into the country and remain for awhile, for if taken you will be hung for a spy." He did, and after a time enlisted in the Connecticut Continental Line and fought in the battles of Brandywine, Germantown and Monmouth.
Prior to moving to Lisbon NH, Samuel married Rosanna Judd on 20 Aug 1780, in Farmington, Hartford Co., Connecticut. Rosanna was born 6 Apr 1756 in Connecticut and died 19 March 1838 in Lisbon. She also is buried in Salmon Hole Cemetery.

Samuel, 8 Jun 1781 - 13 July 1795
