Remarkable militia regiment and royalist obsequies report
A May 27 militia muster shows a young, worker-rooted regiment rapidly learning arms and proving capable for future service, while Lord Rollo, former Lieutenant Colonel of the 22d, dies at 61 and is buried with full military honors at St Margaret's. Other items note judges choosing circuits, ship movements, local trades and weather, marriages, deaths, and a surge of worldly gossip.
