THE
MECKLENBURG MILITIA
An order copied from the record of the
session of the Mecklenburg County Court of
July, 1777 - Mr. Brevard Nixon
completing a list of the Militiamen.
At the July session, 1777, of the court of this county,
the following order appears: of the State,
the justices of the peace for the "Whereas,
by an act of the General Assembly county of
Mecklenburg are authorized and required to
lay out the said county into district,
respectively, for the purpose of districts
and to appoint assessors in each laying a
tax on the inhabitants thereof.
"It is, therefore, ordered by the court, that the
several districts shall be bounded and
commensurate with each and every captain's
company within this county and that each and
every constable appointed for this county
shall have his duty separately and within
the bounds and limits of the same," etc.
After this order, the tax assessors, tax collectors,
constables, justices of the peace, officers,
were appointed for the different road
overseers, jurors and other public officers,
were appointed for the different captains'
companies; and in making a digest of the
records of the county from this date, and
prior thereto, we find the following as a
partial list of the militiamen of the county
from 1775 to 1785. The following list,
therefore, only includes these persons who
served the county in a public capacity and
of which record is made on the minutes of
the court:
