Once again, in the
spring of l777 there was an alarm
that Fort Ticonderoga was in danger
and Capt. Abel Walker
hastened (with his company) to its
defense. He was the commander of
company No. l, Col. Benjamin
Bellow's regiment. The roll call was
not found in the military hist. of
NH so I (Rev. Saunderson) gives it
here.
