Sir William Pepperell's Louisburg Expedition.
"The troops sailed from Boston in March l745.  A
request to Commodore Warren to assist the expedition
resulted in the arrival of Commodore Warren
Commodore Warren from the West Indies where 
he had been stationed, with a sixty gun ship and two
or three frigates, In the last of April the troops to 
the number of 3,800 landed at Chapeaurouge Bay and on

The Legislature of the state of Vermont elected nine
commissioners to meet with commissioners of New York
and New Hampshire for the mutual adjustment of their
jurisdictional claims.  Three of these, Jonas Fay of
Bennington, Vt., Peter Olcott of Norwich, Ira Allen
of Colchester represented Vermont proper.  Three,
the Eastern union viz., Elisha Payne of Lebanon, 
Daniel Jones of Hinsdale and Ezra Stiles of Keene;
the remaining three viz., Joseph Caldwell and Phineas
Whiteside of Cambridge and Gideon WARREN of Greenfield 
represented the towns which had united with Vermont
from New York.  Thus, Vermont, notwithstanding the
tempting lure of Congress to abandon her unions east
and west, remained true to her new friends and reject-
ed the offer which she would have gladly accepted
could she have done it without sacrificing her honor
by the violation of the pledges she had made.  (l78l)
