Excerpt from A List of Additional Manuscripts of the French and Indian War Aside from the above mentioned men of note there are manuscripts of Jonathan Bagley, Ephraim and Israel Williams, Timothy Ruggles, John Tyng, John Winslow and Timothy Woodbridge and a careful examination of muster rolls, bounty lists and the like will bring to light the names of many less prominent soldiers contributed by the British colonies to the war.

These letters are printed in full in an appendix, and the identity of the British and Colonial officers taking part in the engagement has been shown more fully than in the original text.
