Excerpt from Tyler's Quarterly Historical and Genealogical Magazine, Vol. 1 The Richmond Light Infantry Blues is one of the oldest volunteer companies in the United States. Like the "moss covered bucket revered for its age," it is now cherished for its antiquity, and as the young green moss grows healthily upon the old bucket, so our youth, who have taken the places of the ancients of other days, put forth their vigorous limbs, renewing the life of the old stock and keeping alive the spirit of former times. The date of the formation of the company cannot be precisely ascertained. The register of the officers in the service of the State prior to the year 1793 has been lost, and the earliest record of the company has its date about the latter end of that year; but we have sufficient testimony to establish the fact that the company existed several years prior to that time. There are but two members now living who were in the company in 1793. These are George Watt and Zalma Rehine; the first, one of the oldest and most respectable of our citizens, and the last, a worthy resident of the city of Baltimore.
