| Notes |
- James Sleigh, a native of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was a soldier of the American Revolution, and it is assumed that he enlisted as private with his brother John in Southwark, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and served in the Pennsylvania Continental Line.
After the Revolution, James lived in Montgomery County, Georgia, and moved to Camden County around 1800. He applied for a Revolutionary Soldier?s Pension in Camden County under the Act of 1832. Date Applied ??? Approved???
James Sleigh was elderly at the time of his Revolutionary Soldier Pension application and most likely he died in Camden County. He is believed to be buried in an unmarked grave in Oak Grove Cemetery, along with his brother, John Sleigh.
