29 Known Grandchildren! 





It is no doubt that our subject Joseph,3 SARRATT, is the oldest son of 
Samuel,1 SARRATT (1708-1775) and Grandson of namesake the French born 
Joseph,1 SARRATT (c1665-1715) of Prince George's County, Maryland.

Our subject Joseph,3 SARRATT, was born and raised to manhood on his father's  
"Bridgewater" Plantation, in Prince George's Co., Maryland; He was 
19 years of age (1751) when he removed with his father to the South Hyco, 
Plantation, in Orange Co., which was later (1777) reformed into Caswell Co., 
and still later (1791) reformed to Person Co., all in North Carolina and 
the Plantation never moved.

Our subject Joseph,3 SARRATT was 32 years old when his father 
Samuel,1 SARRATT, (age 56) left the South Hyco area of 
Orange Co., NC. about 1764 and went to Rowan Co., which is now southern Davidson Co., North Carolina, & the
"Jackson Hill" SURRATT's were formed.


The first record found in Orange Co., NC. for Our subject Joseph,3 SARRATT,
was when he was 33 years of age at the May Court of 1765, ordered Joseph,3 SARRATT

to lay out a road from "PINSON'S Path nigh THOMAS RUNNOLDS, 
   from thence into SYNNOT'S (sic SARRATT) Road nigh the meeting house. 
   He was ordered to complete this in the company of: 

        PETER BANKSON; 

        JOHN BRATCHER;

        ROBERT KILGORE, Sr.; 

        JAMES LEA; 

        JOHN LEA.

        WILLIAM LEA; 

        ZACHARIAH LEA; and

        NIEL McCOY; 



In Spring 1771, Joseph,3 SARRATT, age  39 was one of the first to sign 
the "Petition" to form Caswell Co., from Orange Co., NC., the increasing 
difficulty of getting to Hillsborough to pay Taxes and to do other business, 
caused the settlers to petition for a new County, with the County 
Seat at Yancyville.





AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARY WAR:



Joseph,3 SARRATT, was 42 years of age when the Colonies revolted 
against the control of England. , but there is no doubt about his 
Patriotism. Joseph,3 and his son John,3 SARRETT sold 
supplies to the Revolutionary Army. Vouchers attesting to these transactions 
are in the State Archives at Raleigh, North Carolina.
 
See 1st Son: Pvt. SAMUEL,3 JOHN,3 SARRETT: American Revolutionary Papers 

See 2nd Son: Lt. JOHN,3 SARRETT: American Revolutionary Papers 

by Paul R. Sarrett, for Continuation.









10th Sep 1778 - 306 1/2 acres Land

On 10 Sep. 1778, Joseph,3 SARRATT entered some additional 306 1/2 
acres of land, which records indicate this land was adjacent to his 
father's original  Grant of 1750 for 422 acres, which Joseph,3 
SARRATT already possessed in the now Caswell Co., NC.

(No record that father SAMUEL, 1 ever sold this property); 
This second Grant was issued from the state of North Carolina 
in 1779. This land was lying along the South Hyco River adjoining 
the lines of: [REF:#90, pg30]

        WILLIAM LEA, 

        JOHN DOUGLASS, and 

        LAURENCE Van HOOK 





In 1782, the Caswell Co., Court ordered that the 50 year old Joseph, 
3 SARRATT to be the Overseer of the road from Capt. LEA'S 
ford on the "South Hyco River" to the Courthouse at Yancyville, 
NC.

   (In early North Carolina, the Courts had the right to order 
   any landowner between 16 and 60 to work on the roads..prs)


In 1784 we have the Tax Record of Joseph,3 SARRATT, paying his 
list of Taxable on 506 acres of land, lying on the Hyco in the St. 
Luke's District, (now Person County), as per JOHN WOMACK 
the Tax Collector. This again shows that he was paying on his second 
306 1/2 acres, and the 199 1/2 acres which his father had improved 
earlier. [REF: #90 pg30


On 17 Apr. 1787, Joseph,3 SARRATT, age 55 sold 150 acres, adjacent 
his land to his son JOHN, 3 SARRATT, for a token payment of 20 pounds. 
[REF:#90, pg34]


In October of that same year (1787) he sold 145 acres to JOSEPH CARNEY 
for 200 pounds. This left 211 acres from the original 506 he was taxed 
for, and tax records show he farmed this 211 acres with the help of 
two adult Negroes and his son ELISHA,3 SARRATT who was named as his 
poll [REF:#90, pg30]

   (A "Poll" was a male over 16 years of age who was 
   not only "Taxable", but also eligible for the Militia) 


Their was a ANN SARRATT who witnessed this Deed, which is believed 
to be his youngest daughter. by [REF:#90, pg30], 
but Dau Anne was not born until 1775, a12y. No record of his wife was mentioned,
so we assume this was his Wife!.


In August of 1789, Daughter MARY "Polly" SERAT, was Baptize 
in the Primitive Baptist Church, later in September, 1789, 
daughters ANNE and SABINA SERAT,  were Baptized.

Now that Person County was formed in 1791, the 1793 Tax Record shows 
Joseph,3, SARRATT was taxed for 211 acres, and he had Two Negroes 
who were taxable. (506 acres less 295a = 211acres) This tax records 
remain the same up until 1800.


In 1792, the SERAT Meeting House was mentioned as being one 
of the places the Church Association used as a meeting place on occasion. 
   This SERAT Meeting House was an arm of the Flat River 
   Church and Wheeleys was the other arm. The SERAT'S arm 
   requested in Sep. 1792 to be constituted into a District Church and 
   was granted permission, so obviously Joseph,3 SARRATT and family 
   was supportive of this Church.

On 01 Sep. 1801, at the age of 69 years, JOSEPH SARRATT, 3, prepared 
a Will.
 
It was Proved in Person Co., Court 3 months later in December, 
   1801. He still did NOT mention his wife's name, 
   which one can assume that she died prior to this W&T

   In his Will he named his Children:

[REF:#90, pg31]



Joseph,3 SARRATT, left all his remaining land (some 211 acres), 
to his 3rd. son ELISHA,3 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,3 SARRATT "a good deed, should be 
prepared for ELISHA SARRATT," because JOSEPH SARRATT, 3 had intended 
that land for SAMUEL, 3 SARRATT originally. (No 
land record has been found, of Joseph,3 SARRATT to his 1st. 
son SAMUEL, 3 SARRETT) The language of Joseph,3 SARRATT'S 
Will indicates his disappointment with 1st. son SAMUEL, 3 SARRATT, 
who was already in Tennessee, by then.


Joseph,3 SARRATT'S Inventory, showed him to be a man living 
in comfortable circumstances so he must have been a prosperous farmer. 
He had a large inventory of tools and necessaries for farming, his 
stock consisted of: [REF:#90,  pg31]

   One team of Horses
