I do hereby certify that I have viewed and examined thirty
four men answering to the above names exhibited to me for
that purpose by Capt Philip Graybill and find them effective
and fit for duty.
Thomas Jones, 2nd Major, of Baltimore
Town Battalion of Militia.
[Smyth to Council.]
Ship Yard July the 12th 1776.
Gentlemen
This will be handed you by my son Thomas who waites on
the Council for his Commission in pursuance of the Honoble
the Conventions order to him for enlisting a Company of
militia, he has enlisted a Company of stout able young Fel-
lows and almost all of them Country born; he informs me
that they have very few muskets among them which are fit for
Service, and I believe it will be very difficult to borrow any
from the Inhabitants as they dont know how soon they may
be called on to use them. What guns belong to the Militia
are generally very indifferent, permit me therefore to solicit
your honorable Board that his Company and Capt. Perkins's
may be armed out of the Arms that will be made by Winters,
and those which are sent for to Chingoteague
I hope they will be indulged with having their Companies
well armed as they have been industrious enough to enroll
