Much of the text in this article is also part of the Maryland Line article. Perhaps a careful merging of "Maryland Line" into "History of the Maryland Militia" would be appropriate? Folklore1 ( talk) 20:25, 8 October 2010 (UTC) reply

The two articles are similar but their subject matter is fairly distinct. The similarity between is I think chiefly down to sloppiness on my part - I have copied and pasted various chunks of text from one article to another without serious revisions. Will do some work to tidy them up. Asteuartw ( talk) 11:53, 29 October 2010 (UTC) reply
