Overview:
Archelaus Gilliam, son of William Gilliam and Mary Jarratt, his wife was born, according to his pension application, on the Tye River about 1756. On 15 Dec 1781, he married Judith Tuley/Tooley, the daughter of James Tuley and Judith Witt. His obituary states that died Oct 22, 1836, in Amherst County, that he joined the Revolution at its commencement and was engaged in thirteen different conflicts, and aided in most of the severe engagements, including those of Saratoga, Princeton, and Monmouth. Though this Roll is entitled Monongalia County Militia, the header states this Militia marched from Bedford.
