I recently joined the History Book Club and one of the books I got for $1.00 was on the French and Indian War. The first chapter was an overview of the lead up to the war and I found it to be very precise and detailed that I think I will use it as my starting point for the new school year in American History. It has also renewed an interest in my family genealogy that runs back to 1634 in Salem, Mass. My revolutionary war ancestor, Abel White who served in Capt. Carlisles Company of Timothy Bedel’s Regiment of New Hampshire, was born in 1751 and that means it is quite possible his father may have been involved in the F & I War during that time. Only time and research will tell. It has also renewed my search for information that may link Abel White to what my family claims is ancestory to William White of the Mayflower. Again only time will tell.
I will post updates of my findings if anything good turns up.
