"And whereas several companies of the militia were lately drawn out into actual service, for the defense and protection of the frontiers of this colony, whose names, and the time they respectively continued in the said service, together with the charge of provisions found for the use of the said militia are contained in the schedule to this act annexed....
"Loudoun County
On page 217 of the same act under the head of "Fairfax County" appear the following items, the names suggesting that the list was prepared prior to the time of the setting off of Loudoun from Fairfax and for services prior to those above listed:
| l | s | d | |
| "To Nicholas Minor, Captain | 15 | 12 | 0 |
| Josias Clapham, lieutenant, | 7 | 16 | |
| William Trammell, ensign | 5 | 4 | |
| To Captain James Hamilton his pay and | |||
| guards subsistence carrying soldiers | |||
| to Winchester | 10 | 4 | 1" |
The names of many other soldiers are given with the compensation awarded each. It is quite possible that among them were men who resided in that part of Fairfax which, at the time of the passage of the act, had been set off as Loudoun.
