[p. 171]TRAINING SOLDIERS IN FALMOUTH.The following list of training soldiers in the town of Falmouth is supplied by Mr. Nathan Goold.
The colonial law required that all male persons from sixteen years of age to sixty, other than such as are hereinafter excepted shall bear arms and be always provided with a well fixed firelock musket, of musket or bastard bore, a knapsack, a collar with twelve bandoleers, or cartouche box, one pound of good powder, twenty bullets fit for his gun, and twelve flints, a good sword or cutlass, a worm and priming wire lit for his gun.
The persons hereafter named were exempted from all trainings, viz: "the members of the council, the representatives for the time being, the secretary, justices of the peace, those exempted by college charter, masters of art, ministers, elders and deacons of churches, sheriffs, allowed physicians, or surgeons, and profest school masters, all such as have had commissions and served as field officers, or captains, lieutenants, or ensigns, coroners, treasurers, attorney-general, deputy sheriffs, clerks of courts, constables, constant ferrymen, and one miller to each grist mill, revenue officers, masters of vessels of thirty tons and upwards, herdsmen, lame persons, Indians and negroes."
In 1702 it was enacted, that the commissioned officers of each miltiary company make from time to time, and keep a fair list of one quarter part at least of the soldiers in their company, such as are most able and fit for service; and the chief officer shall give notice to every such soldier of his being enlisted, and require him to be always in readiness and completely armed to be sent forth and march into the service against the enemy when he shall be thereto commanded.
