I do hereby certify, that I was well acquainted with Lewellen Jones, deceased, 
late of Campbell County, Virginia, in  the war of the Revolution, and recollect 
distinctly that in the lasly? part of the year, 1776, he enlisted in Charlotte 
County, where he then lived, under Capt John Brent as a Regular Soldier for the 
term of three years, and was attached to the 4th Virginia Regiment on continental 
establishment, commanded by Colonel Lawson and General Stevens- He was engaged 
in several battles to the North, and served the said term faithfully, and was 
regularly discharged from service- These facts come within my personal knowledge

To His Excellency the Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia:
The Memorial of the Heirs and legal representation of Lewellen Jones, deceased, 
late of Campbell County, Virginia, who was a Private of the State line of 
Virginia on Continental Establishment in the War of the Revolution: respectfully 
?eth:
That the said Lewellen Jones in the year 1776, enlisted under Captain John Brent 
in the county of Charlotte, for the term of Three years, and as attached to the 
4th Regiment of Virginia on continental establishment, commanded by Colonel 
Lawson- That the said Lewellen Jones, served the full period for which he 
enlisted, and was regularly discharged from service- All of which will more 
readily appear by reference to the Army Register of the Continental line, and 
the accompanying certificates of old and credible soldiers who served with him 
in the war of the Revolution-
Your Memorialist further state, that the said Lewellen Jones in his life time, 
never applied for, or drew the Land Bounty promised by the State of Virginia 
to her Continental soldiers: nor have the heirs of said Lewellen Jones since 
his death, applied for or drawn the said Land Bounty-
Your Memorialist, therefore, humbly pray that your Excellency will grant them 
the usual quantity of Bounty Land, allowed to a soldier of the State line of 
Virginia on continental establishment, for the term of three years service, 
pursuant to the Laws of Virginia in such case made and provided- and as is 
duty bound, that can pray be, be.
