Part I - General View- History

1757 - Another expedition against Crown Point was planned by lord Loudon, and New 
Hampshire on this occasion raised two regiments, under Cols. Meserve and Goff.  The 
latter regiment was captured at Fort William, and eighty of the men were massacred by the 
Indians.  A reinforcement of 250 soldiers was raised, and entrusted to Major Thomas 
Tash, who was stationed at No. 4( now called Charlestown).
