Washington County, Virginia Militia Payroll — 1792
A. Lewis to the Governor, Enclosing Pay Abstracts of Militia from Washington County, December 13th, 1793.
In August, 1792, his Excellency the Governor of Virginia directed the commanding officer of Washington county to draft twenty-ive men and send to the relief of Powell’s Valley. Instead of those men going into service, Col. Arthur Campbell directed Lieut. Willoughby to enlist men in their place, and the following names are those that lived in the valley and never left their Homes:

| Total | – | 69 0 9 |
I do hereby certify that I p’d the above soliders agreeable to the Roll, before I knew where they lived or before I was informed that they did no duty & that Col. Campbell ought to be answerable to the Executive for the money as he rec’d from those that ought to have served.

Russell &c.;
This day Wm. Robinson came before me, a Justice of the Peace, and made oath that the within enrolled men are Inhabitants of Powell’s Valley; the greater part of them have Familys, and when under the command of Lieut. Willoughby were of no service to the frontiers, but rather a prejudice, for their being enlisted prevented the necessary relief coming to us.
Given under my hand this 6th day of Sept’r, 1793.
