ELECTION - OF BURGESSES, FAIRFAX COUNTY.
Fairfax county was formed in 1742 from Prince William. At the date of this poll, in 1744, it still included what is now Loudoun county. The latter, however, was detached in 1757. The voters whose names are given in the foregoing list were included, therefore, in the inhabitants then living within what are now Fairfax and Loudoun counties .*
* It may be of interest to note the fact that in the year 1769 the House of Bur- gesses of Virginia passed an act concerning the manner in which members of this body should be elected. Section 7 of said act provides as follows: "And be it further enacted, by the authority aforesaid, That after publication of such writs, and at the day and place of election, every freeholder actually resident within his county shall personally appear, and give his vote, upon penalty of forfeiting two hundred pounds of tobacco to any person or persons who will inform or sue for the same, recoverable, with costs, by action of debt or information, in any court of this dominion." Hening's Statutes, vol. 8, page 308.

VIRGINIA IN THE REVOLUTION.
THE part which Virginia took in the Revolutionary War cannot be detailed in this work. We can give only a few items to show that as a state she performed her full duty, though complete credit has not been given to her in the past.
By virtue of her location she was a battlefield during the Revolution, especially during the closing period. The ser- vices of her militia were not taken into account, and hence by comparison with other states she appears to have furnished a smaller number of troops than were her quota.
She had, however, a goodly number of militia, or minute- men, whose services were confined to state territory. The Virginia Historical Magazine began, in 1898, the publication of the lists of these men, commencing with 1777. The infor- mation furnished is exceedingly valuable and is heartily com- mended to our readers.
A vory interesting list of the Continental Line during the Revolution, including the general-in-chief, major-generals, colonels, lieutenant-colonels, majors, captains, lieutenants, etc., may be seen in Vol. 2, pp. 243 to 258 of the Virginia Maga- zine of History and Biography; and a corresponding list of the State Line of the same period on pages 357 to 370 of the same publication.
The total contribution by Virginia of troops of all kinds, in- cluding continental and state forces, militia, riflemen, rangers, minutemen, etc., may not be correctly stated. At the opening of the war, and also during its progress, men enlisted for a year at a time. Some of them enlisted several times in succession.

VIRGINIA IN THE REVOLUTION.
In making up the total service, these repetitions need to be considered. The State's contribution to the Continental army is given, however, as 26,678 ; to which are to be added some 30,000 members of State forces, making a total of 56,678 men. The only state which claims to have approximated Virginia's forces was the state of Massachusetts, with 87,907 men. This number, for reasons stated elsewhere, must be accepted with a grain of allowance.
Virginia had originally fifteen regiments in the Continental service.
In a letter to General Washington, in 1776, Richard Peters, Secretary of the Board of War, transmits the following list of Field Officers in the Service of Virginia. See American Archives, 5 series, vol. 2, page 320.

October 18, 1776, it was resolved by the House of Delegates that six new battalions of Infantry be raised and employed in the Continental Service ; and that provision be made for com- pleting the nine battalions formerly raised, and extending the additional bounty to such of them as shall be willing to enlist on like terms. (See Am. Arch., 5 series, vol. 2, page 1112.) Under this order the following men were appointed colonels on the 15th of November : Edward Stevens, Daniel Morgan, James Wood, Samuel Meredith, Charles Lewis, and David Mason. (See Am. Arch., 5 series, vol. 3, page 695.)

HISTORICAL NOTES.
As showing the changes and difficulties in mobilizing her forces, we have examined the original archives and made note of some things which will tend to throw light upon this period. So far as possible, the chronological order is observed.
By the Continental Congress it was decreed, August 13th, - 1776, that the 8th Virginia should have pay from May 27th, and the 7th from 17th of the same month.
The first Virginia regiment marched from Williamsburg for New York the 16th of August, 1776.
On the 21st of August, 1776, the captains and subalterns of the 1st and 2d regiments presented a petition to the gov- ernor and council of the State to have their relative ranks properly adjusted as compared with the forces of North Carolina.
At the October session of the General Assembly, held in Williamsburg, it was announced that six additional battalions of infantry were to be raised. The reward was : "To every non-commissioned officer and private soldier a present bounty of twenty dollars, an annual bounty of a suit of clothes-to consist for the present year of two linen hunting shirts, two pair of overalls, a leathern or woolen waistcoat with sleeves, one pair of breeches, a hat or leathern cap, two shirts, two pair of hose, and two pair of shoes, amounting in the whole to the value of twenty dollars, or that sum to be paid to each soldier who shall procure those articles for himself-and to provide the following portions of land, to be given at the close of the war, or whensoever discharged, to the officers and soldiers who shall engage in the said service, or their repre- sentatives, if slain by the enemy, to wit: To every non- commissioned officer or soldier, one hundred acres ; to every ensign, one hundred and fifty acres ; to every lieutenant, two hundred acres; to every captain, three hundred acres; to every major, four hundred acres ; to every lieutenant-colonel, four hundred and fifty acres ; and to every colonel, five hun- dred acres."

VIRGINIA IN THE REVOLUTION.
On the 1st of November, 1776, four companies of the Vir- ginia Battalion on the eastern shore were directed to march, under command of a field officer, to Dover, Del., and await further orders.
On the 1st of November, 1776, it was ordered by Congress that commissions be granted to fill vacancies in the 4th, 5th and 6th Virginia Battalions; and on the 6th, Brigadier- General Stephens was directed to fill in dates and deliver the commissions.
November 4, 1776, Capt. George Gibson, of the 1st regi- ment, sent by the governor to New Orleans on a special expe- dition, was provided by Caesar Rodney, at Dover, Del., with a number of horses and £6 for expenses.
On the 5th of November, 1776, the returns of the 1st regi- ment, under command of Col. John Fleming, showed present a total strength of 486 officers and men.
On the same date the 3d regiment, under command of Col. George Weeden, at Camp John Fushee's, had 603 rank and file.
November 20th, 1776, Col. Wm. Crawford, of the 7th regi- ment, severed his relation with the command, and, in reply to a testimonial of confidence by his subordinates, expressed his purpose to devote himself "to the utmost defense of Amer- ican liberty, justice, and the rights of humanity."
On the 26th of November, 1776, it was directed that a regiment of artillery, to be armed with muskets and bayonets, should be raised in Virginia, to include two companies already formed.
At Williamsburg, on the 6th of December, 1776, Col. Thomas Fleming, of the 9th regiment, issued an order calling for the return of all officers and soldiers absent with leave and the joining of the regiment at Philadelphia on its march to reinforce Washington.
On the 27th of December, 1776, it was decreed by Congress that the Virginia militia marching to the aid of Washington should receive a pair of shoes and stockings, and the same rations and monthly pay as were given to other continental troops.

On the same day, the 2d and 7th Virginia regiments, with all convalescents from other commands left in the State, were ordered to march at once to join Washington.
On the same day, too, owing to the necessity of reinforcing Washington at once, Virginia was " empowered to call into service, at the continental expense, three regiments of militia, . - or minutemen, if such measure shall by that state be judged necessary."
These troops were enlisted "to serve during the continuance of the present war, unless sooner discharged."
By the session of the Assembly, which began May 5th, 1777, was authorized the forming of militia companies of males over 15 and less than 50 years of age. These companies were to be not less than 32 nor more than 58 in number, and were to meet for muster once per month, at 11 o'clock, accoutred as follows : County lieutenants, colonels, lieutenant-colonels, and major, with sword; captains and lieutenants, with firelock and bayonets, cartouch-box, sword, and three charges of pow- der and balls; every ensign with sword ; every non-commis- sioned officer and private with rifle and tomahawk, good firelock and bayonet, with pouch and horn, or cartouch or cartridge-box, and with three charges of powder and ball.
At the October session it was enacted, that to assimilate the Virginia with those from other states, fourteen of the said regiments be reduced to eight companies each, and then be completed by volunteers or drafts. It was also suggested that the officers of the fourteen regiments, including those of the 9th captured at Germantown, co-operate in this work. In the draft Mennonites and Quakers were to be exempt. Enlist- ments were for three years or during the war.
The following letter from Governor Henry to John Law- rence, aide-de-camp on the staff of General Washington, indi- cates the difficulty of securing recruits from Virginia in the year 1778.
Accordingly, in September, 1778, the fifteen regiments from Virginia were reduced to eleven in number and reorganized

as follows : The 9th was joined with the 1st; the 6th with the 2d; the 5th with the 3d ; the 8th with the 4th; the 7th was called the 5th ; the 10th the 6th ; the 11th the 7th ; the 12th the 8th ; the 13th the 9th ; the 4th the 10th; and the 15th the 11th.
WILLIAMSBURG, June 18, 1778.
Sir : General Washington sent me an account of the Drafted Soldiers that have joined the army from this state; and it appears that not one-half of the number voted by the Assembly have got to camp. Truth obliges me to add that very few more of the Drafts will ever be got into the service.
I lament this capital deficiency in our Quota of troops; but no efforts of the Executive have been sufficient to prevent it.
The Assembly, at their late sitting, have directed three hundred and fifty cav- alry and two thousand infantry to be forthwith raised and to join the grand army. Some of the former will be raised, but from every appearance I am sorry to say there is little reason to expect any success in getting the infantry. I can only assure you, sir, that I shall pay due regard to the Requisition you are pleased to make for compleating our quota of men by exerting myself to the utmost, altho' I fear it will be in vain.
With highest regard, I have the honor to be, sir, Your most obedient and humble servant,
PATRICK HENRY.
The Honorable Mr. Lawrence.

defense of the State. The preamble, which is quite historic, provides: "Whereas, at this critical juncture, when the enemy have made this state the object of their vengeance, it is neces- sary to provide a standing force for the immediate defense thereof. It is therefore enacted that two legions, to consist of six companies of infantry and one troop of cavalry, of one~ ~ hundred men each, be forthwith raised to serve during the war, but not to take the field or to do duty except in cases , of actual or threatened invasion."
On the 7th of May, 1781, the Assembly began its sessions in Richmond, and continued them, by adjournment, to Staunton, in Augusta county. This transfer, made necessary by military conditions, was authorized under a general law of the Assembly.
At this session the governor was authorized to appoint re- cruiting officers to enlist, by persuasion, three thousand sol- diers for two years, or during war-each to be 5 ft. 4 in. high, not a deserter, not subject to fits, of able body and sound mind.
Virginia in the navy during the Revolution was not so conspicuous as in her land service. Her work was meritor- ious, and her officers occupied honorable positions. On this subject valuable information and authentic lists of names, with relative ranks, may be found in the Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, vol. 1, pp. 64-75.
It may be proper to say, that conspicuous among these naval heroes was Commodore James Barron, who, with his brother Richard, commanded "The Liberty " and "The Patriot," two important vessels during this period. Commo- dore Barron participated in twenty different actions, in all of which he was very successful. Ile died in 1787. His sons, James and Samuel, were also conspicuous in naval affairs during and subsequent to the Revolution. Descendants of the Barrens subsequently located in Maryland, concerning whom it may be well to consult Genealogical Manuscript, by the author of this volume.
Virginia had a good representation in the artillery branch

of the service. Companies were commanded by Captains Nathaniel Burwell, Thomas Baytop, Samuel Booker, John C. Carter, Whitehead Coleman, John Dandridge, Samuel Eddens, John Gregory, John Henry, Valentine Peyton, James Pendle- ton, William Pierce, George Rice, Drury Ragsdale, and An- thony Singleton.
Nine of these companies, viz., Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10, commanded respectively by Captains Pierce, Burwell, Singleton, Ragsdale, Pendleton, Dandridge, Eddens, Baytop, and Henry, were attached to Col. Charles Harrison's Virginia and Maryland Regiment of Artillery, from Nov. 30, 1776, to April, 1782. They were stationed at Valley Forge, Smith's Clove, Pluckemin, and camp near Chester at various times.
Captain Burwell was commissioned an aide to Brig .- Gen. Robt. Howe, Nov. 30, 1776, and served to the end of the war.
The scope of this volume will not permit the tracing in detail of the changes through which the various organizations passed from first to last. As battalions became depleted they were consolidated, and this resulted in many supernumerary officers, who had either to be retired from the service or assigned to other commands.
Great interest will attach to the accompanying final pay-roll of officers at the close of the Revolution.
