Through the kindness of Mr. Samuel Moscs, of Phoenix- ville, father of our late county treasurer, we have been fur- nished with the muster-roll of Capt. George Hartman's company, it being the Second Company, Sixty-fifth Regi- ment of drafted militia, at Marcus Hook and other places, commanded by Lieut .- Col. John Pearson, which we sub- stitute for the roll given in the " Archives."
This company was recruited in August and September, 1814, at Kimberton and Chester Springs, this county, to serve a period of six months, if not sooner discharged. The major part of the command marched from Kimberton on September 22d, and, being recruited to the required number, an election was previously held, when the follow- ing-named commissioned officers were elected, and the necessary non-commissioned ones were appointed. We give the muster-roll entire, as follows :

Although the time of service had for its limit six months, we find the company was mustered out at Philadelphia on Dec. 19, 1814, thus making the term three months, though a few have a shorter time opposite their names, among which are four deserters,-only four, however.
On the back of the roll we find the following note in- scribed :
" David Kimsey was a substituta for Dr. Davis. Davia Thomas was only out about two weeks, and the above-named Davis served the remainder of tha time. Dr. Davis recaived tha pay from Major Bull, and also a certifienta of discharge, which ha has sent to tha pen- sion-office, with hia declaration for 160 acres in tha regular servica. Dr. Davis was a surgeon'a mate in tha 16th Ragimant W. S. Infantry, commanded by Col. Cromwell Pierca."
+ Died Jan. 19, 1845.
# Died April 14, 1848.
At the time of the marching of this company to Marcus Hook, its commander, Capt. Hartman, was only twenty years of age. He was recognized as being highly proficient in the tactics of that period, and as a drill-master and dis- ciplinarian had no cqual in Chester County. While at Marcus Hook this company was admitted to be the best equipped, drilled, and officered of any there, and on all occasions in which military pomp and display were desired Capt. Hartman's company was always selected to the post of honor. During many years prior to the captain's death, he labored diligently and effectually in procuring pensions for the widows and children of his deceased comrades, and in many other respects he was repeatedly referred to in matters relating to his old command and its three months' service on the Delaware.
