Ansley vs. Timmons (SC 1825) A. A. 1794, requiring aliensto do militia and patrol duty

"The A. A. 1794, requiring aliens to do militia and patrol duty, is neither against the constitution, nor the laws of nations, - Ansley v. Timmons, 3 M'Cord, 329."

 

The case names George Timmons as the fine collector for the 17th Regiment, SC Militia in 1825. Ansley was English citizen living and working as a merchant in SC for an extended period but did not want to serve in the militia. The court concluded that if he did not want to serve he could move out of the State. There is no personal information on where these men were and nothing else about George Timmons. I do not know where the 17th regiment was in 1825... It was organized for the War of 1861 in Richland County. It does not make clear whether Timmons was a member of the 17th Regiment or a fine collector for the State. It is inferred that Ansley had failed to appear for duty with the 17th.

Note on Child 1: Thomas TIMMONS

Thomas was a minor, when John Timmons of Charleston passed away. (Stated in William Timmons Bond 20 Apr 1798.)

John Timmons left a legacy to George Timmons, but George Timmons then died, John's nephew Thomas was willed

the estate (if I read everything correctly).

 

Thomas appeared in the 1812 Muster List and settled along the Santee River.
