The information on this page was submitted by Bernard Young. The list of militia is undated but is probably from May 1767. It is extracted from the NY State Historian's Report and also from Volume 24 of the Collections of the NY Historical Society. No attempt has been made to "correct" the spelling of individuals' surnames. If you would like to contribute colonial records to this site, they would be very welcome! You may e-mail them in plain text in the body of an e-mail message to Debby Masterson.

NOTE from submitter: It is evident that many of these names later appear as settlers in the Eastern Townships of Quebec in the years during and following the American Revolution, as well as around the Bay of Quinte [an arm of the northeastern part of Lake Ontario] in Upper Canada [the southern part of what is now Ontario province].
