The First Battalion Kings County Militia was formed out of the Kings County Regiment when the latter was restructured in 1808. Its period of greatest activity was during the 1820s and 1830s. It was at battalion strength in 1867 with its headquarters at Kingston, Kings County. The uniforms in that year consisted of a scarlet tunic with blue facings and navy blue trousers. Some of its members were: Barnes, Barret, Belyea, Carvell, Clark, Ford, Hennigar, Mabee, Nase, Peatman, Prince, Whelpley and Wright. The Second Battalion Kings County Militia was formed in 1808 with a troop of horses attached.

The Saint John Fencibles was formed in 1833 from sea-faring residents of Saint John and were the equivalent of marines. This unit was formed in the coastal centres where they were designated for coastal defense.
