Posse Comitatus, 1798
The Posse Comitatus was drawn up by the Sheriff of Bucks in Feb. 1798. It was a survey of men aged between 15 and 60 who weren’t already serving in a military capacity, along with draught horses, waggons and carts – in preparation for a French invasion. The whole Posse Comitatus for Bucks was published as Bucks Record Society vol.22 and can be downloaded here (opens in new window).

Shortly afterwards, individual parishes began to organise voluntary contributions to the war effort. The Lowndes family were evidently the organisers of this in Winslow. The list below includes people who weren't covered by the Posse Comitatus.
