Pages 177-185 of Vol. X of Tyler's Quarterly Historical and Genealogical
Magazine (1929) lists the "New Kent Military Classes in 1782"
"Pursuant to the Act of the Assembly for the Recruiting this State's
Quota of Troops to serve in the Army of the United States, the Field Officers
of the County of New Kent met at the Courthouse of the Said County on Friday
the 9th day of August, 1782 for the Purpose of laying off the County into
Classes agreeable to the Direction's of the said Act, but not having
time......."
There follows 24 classes of 15 members each plus a number of
exempts for each class. The Act is not identified but refers to a paper in
the State Archives.
I have been curious about how the classes were utilized and thank you for
your discussion of the Culpeper classes.
