NOTES
1). 18401.ged Redfield book, Pg. 19 In 1756 he was appointed 2nd Lieut. in the 10th company of the second Connecticut regiment, raised for the campaign against the French possessions in North America. In 1758, he again served as 1st Lieut. in the same regiment, inthe campaign in which Ticonderoga was lost, and Lord Howe slain. In the spring of 1759, he received a commission as captain, and took command of a company of ninety men, which he had raised in and about Killingworth, as a part of the contingent of 5,000men which Connecticut undertook to furnish for that year, for the prosecution of the war against the French in Canada. Capt. Redfield s company formed part of the second regiment under Col. Nathan Whiting, the whole Connecticut forces being placed in command of Major Gen. Lyman. These forces were reaised with prompt dispaatch and sent at once t Gen. Amhurst, the Britishcommander. By the end of May they had reached the head quarters at Albany. The division of Amherst was among the first to open the campaign. In July he passed Lake George without opposition, and on the 27t of the month, Ticonderoga was, without resistance, abandoned to the superior forces of the provincials, and the french retreated to Crown Point. On the 1st August, they abandoned the latter post and retreated to Isle aux Noix. Amherst then ordered Capt. Loring to build vessels, to aid in driving the enemy from th lake, and employed the army in restoring the partially demolished fortresses of Ticonderoga and Crown Point. Meanwhile, Niagara was taken by Gen. Prideaux, in July, and Montcalm was defeated by Wolfe before the walls of Quebec. In 1760, Connecticut again resie 5,000 men under the same officers as before, and Capt. Redfield s company still found employment. InJune, Gen. Amherst began his march from Schenectady to Oswego, reached the lake shore in about three weeks, crossed Lake Ontario in open boats and rude galleys, forced the passage of the St. Lawrence by taking Fort Oswegatchie, and reached Montreal in September, where the three divisions of the army were united, and two days afterwoards it surrendered, bringing a close to the campaign. On his return from the campaign, Capt. Redfield was taken sick of small pox at Albany, and died on his journey home, near Stockbridge, Mass, Dec. 5, 1760.
