That he twice enrolled himself as a volunteer soldier in the revolutionary war & entered & served as follows: The first Tour was in the month of October about the first of the month in 1780, he enrolled as a volunteer in the County of Washington in the State of North Carolina (now Tennessee) under Colonel John Sevier, Valentine Sevier the Captain of the Company and was commanded by General McDowell [Charles McDowell] and Col. Campbell [William Campbell] which tour was for three months and was marched to the point where was the battle well known by the King's Mountain battle in which this deponent was, and continued to serve out a tour of three months for which he enrolled & was discharged by Col. Sevier at the Catawba [River] in North Carolina, which he has long since lost.
His second service was also by enrollment as a volunteer for six months, at the same place under Colonel Sevier, Captain Landon Carter was his Captain which was early in the month of September 1781 and joined Genl Marion [Francis Marion] on Santee River in the State of South Carolina. That in his march he passed over the Yellow Mountain through the State of North Carolina entering South Carolina near Charlotteville [sic, Charlotte?]; was in some little engagement in which 70 British were taken prisoners in the waters of Ashley River and was in service at the time of Cornwallis's defeat, encamped on Waxhaw at the time, and saw the express passing on from Genl Washington to Genl Greene [Nathaniel Greene], & continued in service until discharged on account of no further service being necessary which was of actual service four months, he enrolled for six & liable to perform that tour if the war in that quarter had not ceased.
That he has no documentary evidence at this late period, having also lost his second discharge which Genl Marion had given him at Santee and that he knows of no person whose testimony he can procure who can testify to his services nor is there a resident minister in his neighborhood.
He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any State.
Sworn to and subscribed

[Veteran was pensioned at the rate of $23.33 per annum commencing March 4th, 1831, for seven months service as a private in the North Carolina militia.]Jeremiah Campbell Sr.'s gravesite is almost certainly one of those that was not moved when the Watauga Reservoir was created in the 1940s.
