Hi Edmond:I am descended from Jean Baptiste Vient of Chambly.He and his brothers supposedly signed up and fought with the Colonials in the year 1775-76.He was married to Josephte Dufaut and a son of Jean Baptiste Vien and Charlotte LeGrain of Chambly.Charlotte was the daughter of Adrian Charles LeGrain and Thankful Stebbins.I am wanting to find all I can about the military history of my family.I know that all young men 16 to 60 had to serve in the militia and I am curious as to where I can find if any of these men were involved in the French and Indian Wars and I would also like to find more about Jean Baptiste who fought in the Revolution.I know he was in Loiseau's co. with Louis Picard.Would appreciate anything you could tell me.Thanks in advance.John Viens
