States Involved in Colonial Wars[edit | edit source]
Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, and West Virginia.
Where to Find Records[edit | edit source]
Many colonists served in local militias and participated in King William’s War (1689–97), Queen Anne's War 1702 to 1713, King George’s War (1744–48), and the 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.
The Family History Library has copies of many of the records that have been published. These are found in Place Search in the Family History Library Catalog under:
