He was engaged in military service in the revolutionary war.It is said that Gen.Washington having learned that he was a fearless and trustworthy man,was accustomed to employ him as a messenger in conveying dispatches between different, and sometimes distant posts. Certain it is ,that he was proud of having enjoyed the confidence of the Commander in Chief,and cherished for his person the most profound reverence. As am illustration ,the following incident is related to him: On One Occasion a collection of wax figures was exhibited, among which was that of General Washington. As Jackson was passing around the room he reached the figure of the General ,and came to stand in front of it. Assuming an erect posture ,and deliberately taking off his hat he said-----"General I never did stand civered in you presense and I never will".
