(R) HUNTERDON MILITIAMEN AND THEIR FAMILIES AT WAR: "A PEOPLE HARASSED AND EXHAUSTED"
Join Historian and Author William "Larry" Kidder as he describes how, during the colonial period and then the American Revolution, by law, every man between the ages of 16 and 50 in New Jersey was required to enroll in his local militia company. These companies were expected to be a local, emergency defense force, but the nature of the Revolution in New Jersey radically expanded the scope of their duties. As a result, every man, and his family, faced the simultaneous requirements to keep a farm or business going while men of the family were frequently ordered to spend periods of time, often at critical points in the farming year, away from home to defend various parts of the state. The inadequate nature and enforcement of the militia laws meant that those men who responded consistently to militia call outs accepted, along with their families, a “disproportionate burden” among New Jersey citizens who supported the Revolution.
