      Transcript from History of Pittsylvania:
      In addition to these military forces [Minute Men] "it was adjudged necessary in the present time of danger" that all free male persons between the ages of eighteen and fifty should be trained for military duty, and bformed into companies of militia...that the companies should be drilled every two weeks, with a general county muster in April and October.

      The Committee of Safety for Pittsylvania proceeded at once to organize the county for military defense. The military strength of the county was given in a census of 1774 as 1438 men, and these were organized into twenty-seven companies.
      [Captain Francis Luck is enumerated]

      A footnote about Francis Luck names his wife Sarah, their 3 sons and 7 daughters. "His house was in the eastern part of the county at a point now known as "Lucks", though the mansion house has long since disappeared. The place was noted for its elaborate and beautifully laid out gardens, which surrounded the house; unfortunately these too have disappeared."
