On the 11th of January, 1828, it resigned its commission, and has never been revived.
For the first twenty-five years of its existence, this company stood among the first for celerity and grace of drill-exercise and martial manoeuvre.
It felt that it had a sort of brigade character to sustain; and the ambitious young men of Medford joined heartily to make it the banner corps of the county.
In the war of 1812, this company was called to guard the powder-house, and
lizabeth.
