Excerpt from Collections of the Connecticut Historical Society, 1903, Vol. 9 This volume Of Rolls is published under the provisions of a recent Special Act Of the General Assembly making an annual appropriation of one thousand dollars to the Connecticut Historical Society; one of the purposes specifically named in this act being to publish its rolls of soldiers in the revolutionary and colonial wars, not heretofore printed. Another provision is that the Society shall deposit in the State Library three hundred copies of each catalogue, report, or other work published under this act, to be disposed of by the State Librarian. This is the second important work issued under the provisions of this act. At a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Society held on the twentieth of last May it was Voted that a volume of Rolls of Connecticut Men who served in the French and Indian War 1755 1762 be prepared and published, and the librarian as editor of the Society's publications was directed to undertake the work without delay. This volume is the result of that vote. It was anticipated that all of the rolls of the Connecticut men in that war could be published in one volume, but as the printing progressed it was found necessary, in order to make a volume Of convenient size and to conform to the size of the previous volumes of the series, to divide the work into two volumes. It is expected that the second volume will be issued without delay. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Collections of the Connecticut Historical Society, Vol. 9 The majority of the rolls printed in this volume and of those which will appear in the succeeding volume are from these 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. 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, which were written by Miss Alice M. Gay of Hartford, were also all compared by him with the printed sheets before they were printed. The names and official positions of general, regimental, and company officers, gathered from scattered sources, have been ar ranged for convenience at the beginning of each campaign, regi ment, and company. So far as could be ascertained, the residence of each officer is given. Where the residence does not appear in the records but has been added by the editor, it is enclosed in brackets. In a number of instances where there were two or more rolls of the same company covering the same period, only one has been printed in full and a reference made to the others. This work does not profess to be more than a list of men who served as soldiers, with an account of their service and such further records as will aid in identifying them. Consequently much has been omitted in the printing of these rolls which has appeared irrelevant to the object in view. It has seemed outside the scope of the work to give the amount of bounty received, the sum per month or the total amount of pay received, the number of months and days in service when dates of both enlistment and discharge are given, and numerous similar items. As the location of the manuscript of each roll is given, the curious can find such items as occur by reference to the originals.

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.
