George, Harvey and William Colcord - NH Militia 1787
I am an antiques dealer and collector and today purchased a very interesting original document.It is entitled, "A Roll of Captain Nathanial Giddinge, Junior Company in the fourth Regiment of Militia in New Hampshire Commanded by Col. James Hill March 1st 1786".The full transcription of names is below but this post relates to 3 of the names - all Colcords.They are George, Harvey and William who were all listed as privates.
I am hoping someone can give me more information about these soldiers and this regiment as I don't even know where in New Hampshire they were formed.I am glad to offer a scan to any interested party for as long as I have the item in my possession.Please e-mail me directly at [email protected] and thanks for any help.
Joy
