Hi there everyone, OK, found this in my notes: Source: History of Chester County, Pennsylvania, with Genealogical and Biographical Sketches - J. Smith Futhey and Gilbert Cope (1881): "There is a letter extant, written by William Moore, of Moore Hall, Nov. 5, 1755, during the progress of the French and Indian War, to William Allen, chief justice of the province, recommending him for a captaincy." This was much earlier than I thought. Patrick was in some way nominated or applied for a Lt. Col. position, also (Rev. War), but no evidence that was granted. So, if Patrick Anderson was a Captain during the French and Indian War, where is a roster? I spent most of last night looking at the PA Archives and I'll send off a note today to see if they cane find that for me. Thanks again for all your suggestions. That Dauphin county book was awesome and I did try the google search. Laura
