AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARY WAR:
SAMUEL, 3 SARRATT, at the age of 23 years, on 12 May 1777 enlisted
as a Soldier in the Continental Line. He was in the 6th. North Carolina
Regiment and was in SHEPPARD'S Regiment at Valley Forge (10th
North Carolina) under the Command of Captain WILSON until it
was reduced. Since these units were under the command of General FRANCIS
NASH who was killed at Germantown, it is safe to assume SAMUEL,
3 SARRETT saw action at Brandywine as well as Germantown, Pennsylvania.
This entire Army was under command of GEORGE WASHINGTON, and SAMUEL,
3 SARRETT endured the cold hungry winter at Valley Forge, along
with GEORGE WASHINGTON, LAFAYETTE and others. SAMUEL, 3 SARRETT
was taken Prisoner, before his term expired and remained a
prisoner until the end of the War. It is possible he was
captured, when the Colonists capitulated to the British at
Charleston, S.C. in 1780 since the Regiments he named and the
Commanders he identified were involved in that action.
See SAMUEL SARRETT: American Revolutionary Papers
by Paul R. Sarrett, for Continuation.

SAMUEL, 3 SARRETT, age 36, has been identified in the 1790
Census, for the Caswell Co., NC. and still living with his
parents. [See: 1790 Census M-637, Reel 7, Pg. 2, F.G.]
On 06 Dec. 1790, the State of North Carolina awarded SAMUEL, 3 SARRETT
640 acres of land for his service during the American Revolutionary
War, it reads as follows:
STATE of NORTH CAROLINA No. 3726 Dec. 06 1790

Samuel,3 SARRETT's Fathers Will & Testament - Dec. 1801
The language of his father JOSEPH, 3 SARRATT'S Will
indicates his disappointment with 1st Son SAMUEL, 3 SARRATT, who
was, believed to be in Bedford Co., Tennessee. A record shows, in
Dec. 1801, father JOSEPH, 3 SARRETT, Will was proved in
Person Co., NC. Court, at Roxboro, NC. and which he left SAMUEL,
3 SARRETT, only "10 Shillings". Father JOSEPH, 3 SARRATT, left all his
remaining land (Some 211 acres), to his 3rd. son ELISHA
SARRATT, he also said in his Will that in regard to the
land that 1st. son SAMUEL, 3 SARRATT sold to his brother, 3rd.
son ELISHA SARRATT a good deed, should be prepared for
ELISHA SARRATT, because father JOSEPH, 3 SARRATT,
had intended that land for 1st Son SAMUEL, 3 SARRATT originally.

SARRETT, (s/o bro John,2 SARRETT) of Benton Co., TN. to testify in his behalf and
in a later session of testimony, his brother
JOHN, 2 SARRETT,

it was not the official church of Maryland, but his father
JOSEPH, 3 SARRATT in Person Co., North Carolina had joined the
