Sharp, Anthony
May 14, 1778

[From “Oaths of Allegiance”—Army Returns, No. 38, p. 126.]

I, Anthony Sharp, Captain in the 9th No. Carolina Battalion, do acknowledge 
the United States of America to be Free, Independent and Sovereign States, and 
declare that the people thereof owe no allegiance or obedience to George the 
Third, King of Great Britain; and I renounce refuse and abjure any allegiance 
or obedience to him; and I do Swear—that I will, to the utmost of my power, 
support, maintain and defend the said United States against the said King 
George the Third, his heirs and successors, and his or their abettors, 
assistants and adherents, and will serve the said United States in the office 
of Captain—which I now hold, with fidelity, according to the best of my skill 
and understanding.

ANTHY SHARP.

Sworn to before me this 
14th day of May 1778.

Lacan. McIntosh B. G.
