This series consists of printed forms submitted by the clerks of county boards of supervisors to the Adjutant General's Office detailing the number of men liable to perform military duty. The returns were compiled pursuant to the State Militia Law of 1854. County assessment rolls were used to produce the returns which contain the following information: name of town or number of ward; number of persons enrolled belonging to fire companies; number of persons liable to perform military duty not belonging to military or fire companies; total number enrolled; and remarks. Each return is signed and dated by the clerk of the board.
