  The History of Pittsylvania County, Virginia - Maud Carter Clement page 210 "Another custom of colonial days that was retained under our Republican form of government was that of having each county organized for military defense. The following order for processioning gives the militia companies in the county at the time: "At a court held for Pittsylvania County, June 1803, it is ordered that the following persons do Procession Lands in their respective Precincts, between the 1st day of October and the 30th of March next: "...Jeremiah White and Gardner Mays in said White's Company of Militia... William White and Washington Thompson in John White's Company of Militia..." page 218 "In their need of higher education for their children the citizens of the county established in 1802 an academy about six miles east of the courthouse on Banister River, which was known as Banister Academy. In response to a petition from the inhabitants, the General Assembly enacted in December 1802, that, 'Thomas H. Wooding, Edmund Tunstall, William Tunstall, Edmund Fitzgerald, Allen Womack, Thomas B. Jones, John Adams, jun., Armistead Shelton, John White, William Wimbish, Edward Robertson, Samuel Calland, William Clark, Moses Hutchings, William White, Joseph Carter, John Smith, James M. Williams, and Rawley White shall be and are hereby constituted a body politic and corporate by the names of the Trustees of Banister Academy, with power to take and hold any estate for use of the Academy."
