CHOWAN COUNTY.
Sin: I Received your Excellency's Command Dated the 4th of last Month Relating to the Militia of Chowan County, in Obedience to which I have herewith Transmitted to you, Everything therein Mention'd in the best manmer it was in my Power.
1st. I have Enclosed to your Excellency the Most Exact Muster Roll of the Regiment under my Command I could Possibly Obtain.
2d. I have also Enclos'd to you A list of the Several field Officers and Captains in My Regiment According to their Seniority and the best Description of the Several Districts of Each Company I could get from the Captains.
3d. t have herein taken Notice of what Captains are Dead or removed Which is only Capt. James Jarlee that is dead, therefore 1 could Not come properly at the Description of his District nor the Date of his Commission. But there is none remov'd out of their Districts That I can be Inform'd off under My Command. I can't properly Reconnuend any Person in the Room of Capt. Farlee
329
STATE RECORDS.
Deceas'd, if my Observations on the 4th AArticle Should take place. But if they do not, I recommend Win. Walton to Supply his Post.
4th. The Regiment I now Command wants some Regulations in it as your Excellency will Observe from the Several lists now Re- turn'd, for Some Companys are about 57 Meu, Others 125, and one 189 which Are no ways in Proportion. What I would Observe on this Article is That after your Excellency hath Appointed Such Captains as you shall think proper, I would advise to leave a Blank In Each Commission only to Describe the District & bounds of Each Company & to make them Consist as Near as possible of about 80 Men Each, Including Officers, which then will allow of one Captain more to be added, & it would be much more Commodious & Agreeable To the People in General, and the Several Companys would be very full.
5th. There are no Arms in his Majesty's Stores Belonging to My Regiment, But as to Ammunition there is 100 pounds weight of Bullets and Swan Shot, and there is an Order of the last Chowan County Court to Purchase. 100 weight of Gun Powder at the Ex- pence of the County & that is all.
6th. There has no Defects Occur'd to me on the Militia Law, But the Small Allowance to the Officers & the Extravagant ones allow'd to Common Soldiers.
7th. There is but one Indian Nation in Chowan County, Which are Called the Chowan Indians. But their Strength is Nothing, and their Condition very Deplorable By the Artifice & Cumming of Some of their Neighbors. I am Informed they Consist of Two Men and five women & Children which Two white men would at any time Overcome.
I Shall leave the foregoing Remarks to your More wise & prudent Consideration.
I am Sir, with the greatest regard & Esteem,
Your Excellency's Most Obedient and very Humble Servt., JAS. CRAVEN.

May It please your Excellency :
The above is as exact List as possibly can make ont at present, for as the three first Captains have not returned their Lists was obliged to gness at the number of their men and believe I am rather less than more. Edwd. Powers having resigned must desire of G.
. his Lieutn. Robert Cade. The people are in general very poorly armed, however, there are few but have Guuns, and being an Inland County & no nations of Indians near, it is not mich exposed. The fines in the militia Laws are not high enough nor the times of muistering frequent enough, and the pay of the Soldiers in Case of Invasion or going to the Assistance of the neighboring colonys too great.
In the Commissions to the Caps of horse they ought to be com- manded to obey the orders of the Coll. of the County in the same manner as the Capt. of Foot, for many reasons obvious from the face of the Militia Law and the nature of things.
These remarks are humbly submitted to Yr. Excellency's better judgment and were made only in pursuance of your orders.
I am Yr. Excellency's most Dutifull & Obedient Servt., LEWIS DeROSSET.
To His Excellency Arthur Dobbs, Esq., Capt. General & Govr. in Chief cet of North Carolina.

Your Excellencys Most obed. Ible Servt.,
ALEXR. M. CULLOCK.
New Bern, 19 December, 1754.
ORANGE COUNTY.
To His Excellency, Arthur Dobbs, Esqr., Gov'r & Commander in Chief in & over the province of No. Carolina :
SIR: Pursuant to your Excellency's Instructions of the 27th of January last to me directed, as Lient. Colonel of the Regiment of Orange, I have returned the list of Officers with the Number of Private Men in each of the Companies that Appeared at the General Musters.
Mark Morgan had Notice of his being Appointed Capt., but did not Attend to be qualified.
Michael Dickson, not being of Ability of Body, Desired to be ex- cused.
John Gordon, Esqr., was present when the other Officers ware Qualified, but refused to except of the Captain's Counmission.
Laurence Thompson, Esqr., having been by a late Commission appointed Capt. of a Troop of Horse, did not Qualify to the Com- mission in the Foot.
Robert Harper Moved to South Carolina last Summer.
Robert Little was Qualified, but by an Indisposition in the fam- ily could not Possibly give his Company Notice to be at the Muster.
If it suits your Excellency's Pleasure, I humbly Conceive would be agreeable to Appoint the following Persons, in the place of those Captains that are wanting, To wit:
John Patterson, Esqr., and Thomas Loyd, in the Room of Mark Morgan, whose Company was too large.
Laurence Rambo, in the Room of Captains Gordon and Dickson. whose Companies ware too Small.
William Lee, in the Room of Robert Harper.
The Districts are not so regular as they may be for the case of the

STATE RECORDS.
People, but as there is no Colonel Appointed, and so many of the Captains not Qualify'd, I thought it suitable to Postpone the affair till your Excellency's Pleasure is further known.
