In 1833 the Washington Guards were formed and received a 

 charter from the State. The Hingham " Gazette " of that and sub- 

 sequent years contains numerous notices of meetings, some at 

 Col. Laban Hersey's Hall, at West Hingham, and some at the Old 

 Colony House, at which latter place they sometimes had dinners 

 with speeches. Their first meeting with muskets appears to have 

 been on Nov. 1, 1833. The meeting of December 13 was called 

 at Wilder's Hall, situated in Wilder's Tavern, Lincoln Street. On 

 December 25 the members were notified to meet at the Old Colony 

 House to choose officers ; at this meeting Edward Cazneau was 

 elected captain, Joseph Jacobs, lieutenant, and Charles W. 

 Seymour, ensign. The uniform adopted was to consist of scarlet
