    3. "On January 12, 1776, at a meeting of the Council of Safety, a militia company was formed from the Lower District of St. Phillip's Parish, and Frederic Rester was recommended for Second Lieutenant. Later records show that a commission was ordered issued for Frederic Restar, First Lieutenant." <http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/la/washingt/family/rester.txt> Would anyone know what the name of this Militia company was or who was the Captain???(Militia companies were the forerunners of the Militia Districts and were usually called by the name of the Captain, (i.e., Capt. John Rawls' Company; etc.) so they could change if the officers changed. I need this info in order to find any Reports or Roster's that may exist in the GA Archives... _________________________________________________________________ Gift-shop online from the comfort of home at MSN Shopping!
