    1. [FIANNA-L] FW: MILITIA, YEOMANRY LISTS AND MUSTER ROLLS
    2. This was posted to another list and I thought it might be of interest. ---------------Original Message--------------- Taken from PRONI : Your Family Tree 12 The `undertakers` granted land in the Plantation of Ulster were required to occasionally muster their Protestant tenants for inspection by the Government-appointed Muster Master General who recorded the names, the ages and types of arms born by the tenants. All Protestant males between the ages of 16 and 60 were liable to service in the Milita. Only copies of the militia records survive: they list the undertakers, and sometimes divide the lists of tenants by parish or by barony. Faced by the possbile rebellion in the late 18th century, the Government raised a mainly Protestant force, the yeomanry, which it paid for and equipped. The yeomanry were expected to drill two days a week, and could be called out to supress public disorders and to assist the regular army in the event of invasion or insurrection. There are in addition Muster Rolls of Regular Army Units raised in Ireland.
