IVIE GREG appears on the The Dalmellington Volunteers roll in 12th June 1800. All able-bodied men were required to serve as volunteers under the various 'Defence of the Realm' Acts of Parliament in force. At the time of Hodgkinson's visit, the most recent and prevailing Act was 38 Geo. III c. 27 (1797, Defence of the Realm). Records of enrolment in the parish of Dalmellington under a subsequent, similar Act have survived, and are transcribed below. The terms of engagement were printed, and followed by the signatures of the subscribers. See FULL ARTICLE: Ayrshire History. http://www.ayrshirehistory.org.uk/Shorts/dalmellvols.htm
