In February 1777 one of the first acts of Maryland's General Assembly was to require all men not serving in a military capacity, over the age of 18 years, to sign an Oath of Fidelity or Allegiance. This was prepared at the county level and reported to the General Assembly beginning in February 1778. Does anyone know of a similar Oath of Fidelity required by Virginia? If so, where would the records be found? Alice Hills
