Posse Comitatus, 1798 - Mapley references
(13 Mapleys in Buckinghamshire recorded)
(Taken from the Posse Comitatus of 1798 for Buckinghamshire)
The Posse Comitatus, or civil power, was a survey of all men capable of acting in a
military capacity who were not either Quakers, clergymen or already serving in a military
unit. Men between the ages of 15 and 60 were included. It was at the initiative of the lord
lieutenant, the Marquess of Buckingham, that the Buckinghamshire survey was conducted in
1798, and remains the most complete county survey in England. The survey was conducted
against the background of war with revolutionary France, and the risk of invasion by French
forces under Napoleon. By February 1798, Britain had been at war with France for five years.
