Joseph Robertson is listed in the DAR database as having enlisted in 1777. He fought as a member of the patriot cause during the battles at King's Mountain and Cowpens.

Also served in 1780 in Captain Josiah Cole's company and Colonel Lee's regiment at the battles of Brier Creek and Stono. He received a Revolutionary War pension in 1833 in Blunt County, Tennessee.

He was, however, busily employed during the cropping season at home, assisted by his sons James and Israel, while the remainder of each year found him searching the western wilderness for game and a suitable country for a new settlement. During this period, one Joe Robertson, an old weaver, who had a famous pack of bear-dogs and was devoted to the chase, often accompanied Boone into the Brushy Mountain, and over to the Watagua, securing loads of bear skins, which they packed to the settlements and sold. On one of their adventurous trips, they penetrated as far [as] the French Lick on Cumberland, and found several French hunters there.> (3B91, citing Nathan Boone, and Henry Rutherford of TN, with whose family Robertson boarded after the Revolution, and spoke many times of his hunting and exploring with DB)"".
