Carteret County North Carolina Established 1722

[I suspect this is the "Militia Returns 1754 - 1755":  "Carteret Foot . . . Capt'n Joseph Fulford (and) Will: Fulford (under command of) Coll. Tho: Lovick."  (State Records, XXII, p. 307). Thanks to Dr. Bob Lewis for finding this reference in the State Records.]

Whereas a true examination hath been made of the within company under my
command I find them very poorly provided with warlike stores.  Twenty Eight
of the soldiers without guns and all the whole company quite desitute of other
stores.                                                                                    Joseph Fulford
