Knox states that Shadrack Jacobs was entitled to a slave or eighty pounds for his services in Wade Hampton's Regiment of South Carolina troops during the American Revolution; in 1793, Jacobs sold his claim to Hugh Knox "for a valuable consideration." Presenting vouchers that "satisfactorily" substantiate her claims, she prays that "the Honble Senate will still be disposed to do her and her orphan children that justice which she requires at the hands of her country."Veterans
