COLONIAL WARS 1607-1763
The LDS
library has microfilmed most of The Colonial Wars records that
are
available. These are found in the Family History Library Catalog under
[STATE]
- MILITARY RECORDS
[STATE],
[COUNTY] - MILITARY RECORDS

Colonial
War records are also scattered within the colonial state records.
Many
colonists served in local militias...because these were local units
and
not part of the British Army, any surviving records are in historical societies
and
state libraries and archives. When searching for an ancestor during the
colonial
period comb all local records available while keeping an eye open for
mention
of military service. During the Colonial Wars men that were disabled were
supported
by the town they lived in since the English Government didn't extend
disability
payments to the men in the Colonies.
