What did an ensign in the Militia do???
Hi,
This is probably a stupid question, but, I just found out that my 3 greats grandfather was commisioned ensign in the 89th District Militia in Washington Co.,GA. in 1834. I've been searching the Web, and according to the Militia Act of 1792, the rank falls between a sergeant and lieutenant. Does anyone know anything else about the duties of an ensign?
Thanks alot,
Cindy
