Scope and Contents: A report from each county commissioner certifies the number of men in that county subject to militia duty. Some reports break down the total number into age classifications (i.e., 18-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-45). Names of eligible men are given for Jackson County only. County commissioners were required to file these certifications with the Adjutant General as part of their census taking responsibilities (L. 1829, p. 22).
