Rolls of Connecticut Men in the French and Indian War, 1755-1762, Vol. 1, 1755-1757

Organized by campaign, regiment, and company, these rosters give the names of soldiers and officers and their rank, dates of enlistment and discharge, and occasional additional data such as date of death. "The majority of the rolls printed in this volume...are from [the] Adams Papers in the State Library. In addition there are rolls from the series lettered "War", 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, among the bound volumes of archives in the State Library, a number from the archives of the Connecticut Historical Society, a few from private sources, and several from the New York Historical Society's Collections for 1891. Items have also been gleaned from a volume of army accounts 1755-1758 in the Comptroller's Office, from the printed series of the Records of the Colony of Connecticut, and from the file of the Connecticut Gazette in the Yale University Library." This was first published as the Collections of the Connecticut Historical Society, Volume IX. A full name index adds to the value of this work.
