Subject: [BOSTON] Soldiers of the King Phillip's War.......ROSTER OF OFFICERS in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, 1675
Date: Sat, 4 Mar 2000 16:38:17 -0500

Lists:
I have "Soldiers of the King Phillips War" by George M. Bodge, Boston,
1906
Will start out with the roster of officers and gradually as time allows,
send out the different
companies in the Massachusetts Bay area which today include
Mass.,Conn.,Maine, and
NH.
I realize this is very early for many of you but these folks were our
early ancestors
of descendants who later settled in the Conn River Valley area of
Mass,Conn,Vt,and NH.
[some later Mass>NH>Maine]
It may be wise to set up a folder for this project and if you should
find yourselves in the
17th century Mass Bay Colony, you will have the information on hand.
I did not change any spelling , if you see [___]after a name, it's my
suggestion only.
