Has anyone seen a list of the pallbearers for George Washington? Were any his personal bodyguards? thanks, Charles

Hi Charles, I have the book: Washington, An abridgment by Richard Harwell, 1968, of the seven-volume George Washington by Douglas Southall Freeman, 1948. Lib Congress Cat No. 68-17342 I can quote the following: The General's horse, accoutered with his saddle, holsters and pistols, was led by the two postilions, Cyrus and Wilson. Col. Tomas Blackburn walne just ahead of the bier, wh was borne by four lieutenants of the Virginia militia. The six honorary pallbearers marcd alongside, three to the left, three to the right. They were Cols. Charles Little, Charles Sims, William Payne, George Gilpin, Dennis Ramsay and Philip Marsteller. [end] Jan PS There were no mens names associated with the topic of bodyguards. Only text on his views and orders for training. Perhaps the seven-volume set would contain some names. charles s brack jr wrote: > Has anyone seen a list of the pallbearers for George Washington?
