Description:Excerpt from Notes and Additions to the History of Gloucester: Second Series This letter is dated fourteen days before the departure from Boston of the eet engaged in the unfortunate expedition under Sir William Phips against Canada in 1690; and the presse from which Mr. Emerson so earnestly pleads for release, was, without doubt, for soldiers for that ex pedition. Let us see how completely facts justify the worthy pastor's intercession for his ock. In 1688 the town voted that every household er, and young man upwards of twenty-one years of age, that was born in town, and county, should have six acres of land. According to the record, every man who is known to have been then an inhabitant except ing two who were very poor, and one or two others who had just moved into town, received a grantof land. The number, excluding the minis ter and his son, appears to have been just one hundred, of whom, in 1690, several were dead. We may therefore make a liberal allowance for young men under twenty - one capable of bearing arms, and for so journers and others whose names had not yet got into the records, and still come to the conclusion that there could not have been in the town, in 1690, as many as ninety men fit for military duty. Moreover, the History shows (p. 214) that the number of persons assessed for a poll tax in 1693 was only seventy-eight. I know not that information can anywhere be obtained concerning the number of Gloucester men that actually joined this ill-fated expedition to Canada, but that it included a very large proportion of the young and able-bodied men of the town there can be no doubt.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
