The
Virginia
militia was established in 1607 as part of the British militia system. Militia service in
Virginia
was
compulsory for all free males. The main purpose of the Crown's militia was to repel invasions and insurrections
and to enforce the laws of the colony.
The
Virginia
militia system, as a compulsory service composed of the body of the people trained to arms as
envisioned by George Mason, remained intact until the end of the American Civil War. Reconstruction governments
forced upon
Virginia
an all-volunteer militia system in opposition to
Virginia
's Bill of Rights. The militia became
statutorily composed of the organized and the unorganized militia.
During the session which began in October 1777, the Virginia General Assembly passed several laws designed
to increase military enlistment. These laws authorized the payment of pensions to maimed and disabled soldiers
and to the widows of men killed in action. The provisions varied according to the specific terms of each act.
This book includes a listing of
Virginia
militia units and the Revolutionary War actions in which they were
engaged, abstracts of the pension applications of several hundred militia pensioners, lists of militia officers
appointed by the various counties and a list of 1835 pensioners with militia service.
