(Eaton`s Militia 1754)
Col. William Eaton's militia regiment
Granville Co, NC
-roll taken 8 Oct 1754-
NOTE: This muster roll [found in Vol. 22 of the North Carolina State Records] is generally considered to be the first true accounting of all able-bodied men in Granville County. Those men in this regiment are believed to range in ages from young (teens) to much older (perhaps even some grandfathers!). Relationships were not noted, but no doubt both fathers and sons are among them. You will note the great number of "juniors" on the muster roll. Care should be taken not to "assume" relationships, as most likely there are cousins, fathers, sons, brothers, and possibly grandsons listed.
