Title: Deserters during French and Indian War
Post by: toomanymarks on Monday 11 April 11 04:33 BST (UK)
Does anyone know of resources that list names of men who served in the military during the "French and Indian Wars"  (1754-1763) or especially those who deserted their post?  Thomas WALKER was supposedly a native of Wales, was sent to north america, deserted his post, shows up in New Hampshire and later fought in the Revolutionary War on the American side.
