Most of the documents in this series are military appeals addressed to Adjutant General Nicholas F. Beck or to Governors Martin Van Buren and Enos T. Throop. The appeals mostly concern disputed elections of officers in the various units of the New York State Militia. There are also a few statistical abstracts of inspection returns, which give numbers of officers and enlisted men present and absent, as well as the quality of arms and accoutrements, cannon and equipment, implements for loading and firing, and ammunition inspected and approved or found unfit for service.
