Dobbs County, NC - Dobbs Militia ~~~~~~~~~~ (Note from Dan) I double checked this information. I really do not know what form to use as it appears that the original list as written in 1760 was added to and marked out for the reissuing for the years 1761, 1762, 1763 and 1764. This was found in Governors Office 146 at NC Archives. I found it when I requested tax lists for Duplin Co. It was not indexed under Dobbs Co. cards. Perhaps that is why it has not been posted before. I am going to begin with Johnston since many of the same names appear in Dobbs. This file is in two bound volumes entitled Taxables, Justices, and Militia Officers 1754-1768. It is not index or pages not numbered. Also there are pages headed by the county name but some entries on a county page may contain information about another county. It looks like they used all the spaces they could no matter where it was. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From Governors Office File 146, Part 2 Dobbs County Justices Issued 28 February 1766 Thomas Edwards William Speight Stephen Cade Francis McIlwain Willm.
