Based on information in this cited bond, I believe Archelaus Harris of Louisa Co., VA judging by the date of the document (bond),I believe he could be considered a *patriot* by DAR and SAR.  Of course, the applicant would have to present reliable evidence to the lineage society of his/her descendancy from this particular Harris. As I remember the requirements for *Revolutionary Service*, the events had to take place before the Treaty of Paris which was dated 1795 (my memory may be faulty.  Check the DAR website to confirm that date.)  Note that the cited bond was to the Treasurer of the Commonwealth of Virginia and is dated 1782. The Commonwealth of Virginia was already in effect.  (This would include other land which Virginia claimed at that time--including Kentucky.) p. 399 (Louisa County, VA Deed Book F, 1784-1790) We Thomas Poindexter, Capt. John Poindexter, John Poindexter Junr., William Trice, Saml. Cole & Archilaus Harris are firmly bound unto Jaqulin Ambler Esqr.Treasurer of the Commonwealth of VA. in the sum of L10,000.  13 May 1782.  Condition:  sd. Thomas Poindexter, Gent, present Acting Sheriff of Louisa Co. shall truly collect & pay taxes in this Co. imposed by Act of the General Assembly of the Commonwealth. [signed by these persons] Thos. Poindexter John Poindexter Jno. Poindexter Wm. Trice Archelaus Harris (Source:  Rosalie Edith Davis,Louisa County, Virginia Deed Books E & F  1774-1790)[Manchester, MO:  Published by author, 1983]p. 90) (off the subject:  I just glanced at the index again, and saw that my Virginia-Kentucky ancestor, Rev. Andrew Tribble is listed in cited book!!!  In 1777 Andrew and his wife Sarah [said to be Burrus] sold property in Louisa Co., and one of his lines bordered that one of one Willm. Harris.  Another entry dated 18 April 1789 indicates that Andrew Tribble [an early Baptist minister both in VA and in KY] was *of Fayette Co., District of Kentucky* as of 18 April 1789.  One of his daughters, Frances [Frankey]Tandy Tribble married 1st) my ancestor *old* Michael Stoner [aka in Pennsylvania as Holsteiner] of early Kentucky fame; 2nd) Thomas Chilton the elder, another Baptist minister.) To PatClare and other interested parties:  This particular volume of Mrs. Davis has many Yancey males listed.  (Later in Granville Co. NC, one Yancey male married a sister of my Williams Ancestor: Sterling Yancey m. Betsey Williams, Granville Co. NC  I neglected to get marriage date but it was after the Revolution.  Her father, William Williams died of illness at Boonesborough at Christmas time 1775. 

In checking the DAR Patriot Index: http://services.dar.org/public/dar_research/search/?Tab_ID=1 They do list Archelaus Harris as a patriot, but not for signing this bond. Instead it is for providing supplies for the continental army in Virginia during the Revolutionary War. One source for his providing supplies is: Virginia Publick Claims by Abercrombie & Slatten, Vol, 2, p. 626. Three different people have joined the DAR and each follow a lineage that comes through Archelaus Harris, b. 5-9-1736, d. 9-30-1792 Wilkes Co., GA; md. Frances/Fanny Smith. Then through their daughter, Nancy/Ann Harris md. Hickerson Cosby.
