I guess it's never to late to study American History. AH 101, here I come. French and Indian aka Seven Years' War 1756 - 1763. My alleged GGGGG and my GGGG Grandfathers volunteered for this war and were mustered in New York in 1760. Why alleged? This is the weak link in our Holmes genealogy and the only connection we have found that ties them together. The place is right and their ages are realistic for father and son. However, there were a lot of Nathaniels and Samuels - do we have the correct link back to Francis? Montreal fell to the English in September, 1760. Were Nate and Sam Sr involved in that battle, I wonder?
