Posse Comitatus 1798 - Newport Hundreds

In February 1798, with the imminent threat of invasion by French forces, returns were ordered to be made of all able-bodied men between the ages of fifteen and sixty years who were not already serving in a military capacity.  Lists were also to be made of the number of draught horses, waggons and carts and their owners and of those occupying wind and water corn mills.  This booklet contains a transcription of the returns for the Three Hundreds of Newport, listing over 4,700 persons giving their residence, occupation and, in some cases, notes concerning either status or eligibility.
