=== Where to find records ===


Many colonists served in local militias and participated in [[King William-s War, 1689-1697|King William’s War (1689–97]]), [[Queen Anne's War 1702 to 1713]], [[King George-s War, 1744-1748|King George’s War]] (1744–48), and the [[French and Indian War, 1754-1763|French and Indian War]] (1754–63). Because these were local units and not part of the British Army, any surviving records are in historical societies and state libraries and archives.
