Longford
Militia Muster - 1824
Contributed by Ray Whittinger
In the county Militia there
was supposed to be an Inspection Parade held four times a year in each
of the Company areas. All Ranks were paid 1 shilling (5p) for
attendance. The Longford Militia was divided into; BallyMahon,
Carrickglafs, Edgeworthstown, Foxhall, Longford and Newton Forbes,
Lansboro, and Kenagh. The officers as with the Church of Ireland
tended to be made up of the local Landlord class. The December 1832
muster list is an average one for the period; if you were to look at
the period of the Napoleonic War around 1800 the size of the Militia
is far greater. The earlier period acts as a far better Census of
families. This however will not include those recruited into the
Regular Army at the time.
Commanded
by Lord Viscount Newcomer;
Ballymohan, Inspected
October 1824; Capt. Robinson
