TROOP F CAVALRY, M. V. M.
In the year 1864, when raids on the Canadian border were being made by those in sympathy with the Southern Confederacy, Christopher Roby of Chelmsford, who at one time was a member of the Governor's Horse Guards of New Hampshire, made appli- cation to Adjutant-General Schouler of Massachusetts for permission to raise a troop of cavalry that would be in readiness for any call that might be made to suppress the depredations referred to.
The permission was granted, provided a troop of 100 men could be recruited. This the energetic Roby speedily accomplished and at Chelmsford Centre, Sept. 5, 1864, the troop was organized. The election for officers resulted in the choice of Christopher Roby, Captain; Edgar S. Parkhurst, 1st Lieut. and Warren C.

HISTORY OF CHELMSFORD
Hamblet 2nd Lieut., all residents of Chelmsford, the rank and file being made up by men from Chelmsford, Carlisle, Billerica, Dracut and Westford.
Its organization complete, the troop became a portion of the Mass. Vol. Militia. The troop held its first encampment at Westford in 1865. While in camp the troop was presented with a stand of colors by Col. Charles H. Dalton, a grandson of Capt. Noah Spalding, of Chelmsford, who in olden times commanded a company of troopers in Chelmsford. The troop adopted the name of "The Spalding Light Cavalry." The town of Chelms- ford previous to this organization supported two mounted bodies,-one antedating the war of the Revolution, and the other during the War of 1812. Soon after the troop was organized, it was designated as "Company F Unattached Cavalry."
While the troop, in the performance of its annual tour of duty, had been attached, as a rule, to the First Brigade until May 19, 1906, at which time it was assigned to the First Squadron of Cavalry, nevertheless, during a brief portion of its existence it was attached to the Second Brigade, and in a few instances also performed service with the Third Brigade. For the purpose of further instruction and drills, the troop was divided into squads, and squads have at various times been established at Ayer, Billerica, Carlisle, Chelmsford Centre, Dracut, Groton, Lowell, North Chelmsford, Pepperell, West Chelmsford and Westford.
On July 24, 1866, H. Herbert Emerson of Chelmsford was appointed adjutant with the rank of 1st Lieutenant, which office he held until 1874, when Elijah D. Bearce of Chelmsford succeeded him and held that office until it was abolished in 1878.
On July 24, 1866, Levi Howard of Chelmsford was appointed Asst. Surgeon with the rank of 1st Lieutenant. Capt. Roby continued in command until 1877, a period of thirteen years, when he was succeeded by Capt. Sherman H. Fletcher of Westford. The troop was disbanded July 1, 1907.
The following list of officers of the troop, with the residences on the date of their election or appointment, will clearly indicate that Chelmsford has furnished her full quota.
