Book Description

Excerpt from Collections of the Connecticut Historical Society, Vol. 10 The statements made in the introduction to the first volume of Rolls of Connecticut Men in the French and Indian War apply for the most part to this volume. It is published under the provisions of the same Act of the General Assembly as was the preceding volume, and is the third important volume issued under the provisions of that act. Since the former volume was issued, the rolls for 1757 to 1760 have also been mounted by the Emory process and bound, each year in a separate volume. The rolls for 1761 and 1762 are soon to be similarly treated. In thus placing these rolls in their per manent form, those designated as the Adams Papers have been supplemented by the few previously in the Connecticut State Library and mounted in the War series of archives, and the whole are now bound together in one series. In addition to the sources previously mentioned, material has been taken from the series lettered War, 10, 11, 12, among the bound volumes In the State Library. As before, the greater part Of the copy for this volume was prepared by the editor, and the proof Of every roll has been read by him with the original manuscript. The index cards also, which were written by Miss Gay, were all compared by him with the proof sheets before they were printed. The rolls Of several companies which served in 1764 are given in an appendix. While these companies were not, strictly speak. Ing, participants in the French and Indian War, their service was a result Of that war. The war ended with the treaty Of peace signed in 1763. The campaign Of the following year was directed against the Indians who continued to create disturbance after the signing of the treaty of peace by their allies the French. A second appendix contains some information relating to the years 1755 - 1757 which has come to light since the previous volume was issued. For convenience of reference all names which appeared in the index to the preceding volume are, in the index to this volume, preceded by a star.
