General Orders, Head-quarters, Boston, June 20.

                                                                          1795.

Since the Counties of Hancock and Washington have been constitued a Division of the Militia in this Commonwealth, the eighth Division comprizes only the County of Lincoln, the encreasing population of which renders it highly necessary to multiply the number of Regiments in said County to seven or eight, and that they be formed into two Brigades.
