["Massachusetts Soldiers & Sailors of the Revolutionary War," Vol. 12 Pg. 859 / Prepared & Published by the Sec. of the Commonwealth/ Boston, 1904]

Archelaus purchased land and buildings on the shore of Demond (Evens') Pond in Rutland from Wm. & John McClanathan, in 1795. The sale of nearly 300 acres for 800 pds. was registered 30 April. We can presume Archelaus and Sarah moved from Sutton to the farm in Rutland soon afterward, as he was listed as the owner and occupant of 40 perches valued at $190 in the Massachusetts and Maine 1798 Direct Tax listing.

In "History of the Town of Sutton," describing the Putnam house in Center District No. 4, the author states: "Joshua and Warren [Marsh] conveyed it by deed dated Nov. 22, 1816, to Archelaus Putnam, who deeded one-half of said farm to his son Tyler, March 17, 1823. Mr. Archelaus Putnam, son of Archelaus, son of Edward, son of Deacon Edward, son of Thomas, lived on this place from 1816 until he died, February 9, 1854. He was a man of wealth, kind feeling, gentlemanly deportment, rather above medium size and very active. He was a farmer. He belonged to a class than whom there is none more noble, was engaged in a business than which there is none more honorable." [pg. 255]
