One of the three was constructed in Lexington, Virginia, on the site of what is now VMI. The Lexington Arsenal opened in 1818 under the command of Captain James Paxton, and the guard stationed there was responsible for approximately 30,000 stand of arms. Although the size of the detachment stationed at the Arsenal varied somewhat from year to year, it generally consisted of the captain, a sergeant, one or two corporals, ten to thirteen privates, and a few employees, among whom were musicians. This arrangement was maintained until 1839 when VMI opened on the site of the Arsenal and the guard was replaced by the new VMI cadets.","\"A return of the Militia in the 53d Regiment in  the County of Campbell commanded by William Henderson, together with a return of arms etc. belonging to said Regiment.\"","\"Return of the militia in the 91st Regiment in the county of Bedford commanded by John Trigg Lieut.

One of the three was constructed in Lexington, Virginia, on the site of what is now VMI. The Lexington Arsenal opened in 1818 under the command of Captain James Paxton, and the guard stationed there was responsible for approximately 30,000 stand of arms. Although the size of the detachment stationed at the Arsenal varied somewhat from year to year, it generally consisted of the captain, a sergeant, one or two corporals, ten to thirteen privates, and a few employees, among whom were musicians. This arrangement was maintained until 1839 when VMI opened on the site of the Arsenal and the guard was replaced by the new VMI cadets.","\"A return of the Militia in the 53d Regiment in  the County of Campbell commanded by William Henderson, together with a return of arms etc. belonging to said Regiment.\"","\"Return of the militia in the 91st Regiment in the county of Bedford commanded by John Trigg Lieut.
