EARLY RECORDS OF GEORGIA VOL. 1 and 2, p. 319: 

SAPPINGTON, Caleb took the oath as Ensign 168th Militia Dist. May 11, 1816.   

"ROSTER OF SOLDIERS AND CIVIL OFFICERS FOR THE PERIOD OF THE WAR OF 1812:
This Roster is on beautiful paper, in a clear, perfect handwriting almost like 
engraving. Service as Justice of Peace, and Sheriff is accepted eligibility to 
United States Daughters of 1812 from 1784 to 1816, which makes this Roll of 
utmost value to them or prospective members.

Most of the warfare on land was done by the Militia and every able-bodied male 
over sixteen was enrolled, subject to call upon alarm of raids by Indians. 
Certain days were designated as "Muster Days" and all reported at the county 
town for drill and instruction from their officers."

Additional Comments:
Caleb Sappington was a surveyor for Wilkes and Walton Counties. He was the son 
of Richard and Rebecca Jarrett (Fadda) Sappington. He was married to Martha 
Bankston, daughter of Lawrence Bankston (Rev. War Patriot).
