STATE OF GEORGIA, Clarke County.
On this 20 th day of Nov , personally appeared in open Court, before Charles Leather presiding Judge of the Superior Court of said County, now sitting, Sared Sudduth a resident of the county of Clarke and State aforesaid, aged 69 years, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath, make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7th, 1832. That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers, and served as herein stated: He was
born in Stafford County & raised in Fauquier County, Virginia, on the 8 th of April 1763. There is a record of his age in a prayer Book in the possession of an Elder brother's Estate in Wilkes County. He was living in Fauquier County, Virginia when he entered the service as a drafted Militia man in the latter end of Jan y or the first part of Feb y 1781 on a tour of three months, under the Command of Col John or  or  Armstead the Christian name not recollect distinctly Churchill, the Captain was John (as he thinks) Barrison, Lieutenant Francis Paine. His Company was marched to Williamsburgh & while there he was detached with others under the Command of a Capt Kelly who lived in Williamsburgh for a three days tour to watch the British movements. Instead of three days, they were gone three weeks & saw the British nearly every day in what he thinks they call the Hampton Roads, it was in a South East direction from Williamsburgh. After staying there three weeks Capt Kelly gave order for the troops to make for Williamsburgh with all imaginable speed, they started at midday without any regularity to join the army at that place, as it was expected the British were marching upon Williamsburgh, & reached the town that night at mid-night. Next morning the British entered Williamsburgh at one end of the town the Americans left it at the other. Before however the British reached the place, Thomas Clapp, belonging to one of the American scouting parties killed a British Major as they were landing about four miles below Williamsburgh. The Americans retreated to Richmond & the British followed after & reached Manchester a small town opposite Richmond on the South side of James river & there they burnt the Ware houses of that place - They remained in Manchester as long as an opponent remained in Richmond, his time expired there & he returned home & met the relief of his County in Fredericksburg going on to Richmond.

While he was stationed at Richmond, the Americans took eight prisoners, that had strayed off from the British lines & deponent was guarding them when his Company was discharged. There is no written discharge for this service. On the last of August or the first of September of the same year he was drafted again to perform a three months' tour at the siege of Yorktown to which place he marched under the Command of James Wirt, Capt, George Dawson, 1st Lieut, & Peter Lampar 2d Lieut. - Upon reaching Yorktown the very same evening Capt Wirt ran off home & carried two of the men, Lieut Bragg (Capt John Rus) followed after him apprehended the two men & brought them back & deponent saw them whipped - As Lynn Sharpe then commanded his Company Wirt got home there remained; deponent remained there during the whole siege, after he arrived, & worked faithfully sixteen days in the trenches when the siege was raised & the British surrendered & marched out in view of the whole American troops - deponent helped to guard the Prisoners up to Winchester & there remained till his time expired, which was in a few days after he reached there - He was taken sick shortly after arriving at Winchester, with what was called the camp fever & remained a long time at the point of death, so that he rec d no discharge for this service - He served the two tours of three months each faithfully, which makes of course, six months service. He has never rec d the first cent for the above service from any quarter - He has no documentary testimony to prove the foregoing services - He moved from Virginia to Georgia, to Wilkes County, in the year 1790 & to Clarke County, same state, where he now resides in the year 1819. - He will state the names of the Honble H. Clay ton & William Dickson who will testify as to my character for veracity & their belief of my services as a Soldier of the Revolution.

HE hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present, and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any State.
Sworn to and subscribed the day and year aforesaid.
