Hi List, Does anyone know of a resource for me to look for a roster of Capt. Patrick Anderson's (1719-1793) company in the French & Indian War? I have a note that "George Anderson [Patrick's nephew] was Lt. in Capt Patrick's Co. in the French & Indian War." Also, my note says George Anderson "went west to Cumberland Valley". I have leads to follow up for George's brother Edward and am working on that now. But just hoping I can find something at the same time about George. Edward had a mill near Fort Cumberland, Maryland. Still trying to find paperwork about that. Were there many from old Chester who served in the French & Indian War? Just looking for suggestions, Thanks, Laura
