  From FindaGrave: Archelaus Putnam, Sergeant, Capt. Jonathan Woodbury's Co., Col. Jacob Davis's reg't.; marched July 30, 1780; discharged Aug. 7, 1780, service 12 days, at Rhode Island on the Alarm, including 4 days travel home; roll dated Sutton; also, Capt. John Howard's Co., Col, Jonathan Holman's reg't.; service 30 days. With Northern Army at the time of the reduction of Gen. Burgoyne; mileage for 295 miles allowed said Putnam; warrant for pay allowed in council May 4, 1778. ["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.
