I need help from your readers concerning the service record of George Sewall DOUGLASS, son of George and Susannah Douglass of Cecil Co. and later of Kent Co., MD and grandson of Maj. Nicholas SEWALL of Cecil Co. and later of St. Mary's Co., MD. George first appears in the Cecil Co. records in 1725 in a lease from Ephraim Augustine Herman to Hugh Matthews which includes the passage "and during the Naturall life of George Douglas son of Geo. Douglas". In 1766 George Sewal Douglas appears on a list of taxables in Middle Neck Hundred (Peden, Inhabitants of Cecil County, Maryland 1649-1774, p. 80). In 1773 Sewall George Douglas (surely the same person) and William Douglas are listed as residents of Baltimore Town West Hundred (Richard J. Cox, A Preliminary List of Early Baltimoreans 1729-1776, Md. Geneal. Soc. Bull. 21 (2) 1980). On 27 May 1776 George Sewel Douglas is called a '2nd. Lie.' in the Baltimore Town, Balt. Co. militia and is issued a commission 6 Jun 1776 (Arch. Md. 11, 449, 467). On 19 Mar 1779 George Sewall Douglass is appointed Captain (Arch. Md. 21, 324, 401), but thereafter the trail grows cold. I have been unable to find any further information on his whereabouts in any pension rolls, muster rolls, or the like concerning his service record before or after 1779. The 1790 census has one George Douglass in Baltimore Co., MD as head of family in a household consisting of two males under 16, two males 16 and over, two white females and one slave, and another George Douglass in Montgomery Co., MD, but no William Douglas(s) anywhere in Maryland. My question concerns the service records. Would there have been separate service records for the Maryland militia and the regular army at that time, or were they one and the same? Are there records I should be looking at that do not appear in the "Muster Rolls..." in volume 18 of the Archives of Maryland?
