... In 1753 the French and Indian war was actually begun ... It is, however, very doubtful whether any soldier from the then county of Chester at the fatal field of the Monongahela,1 but when the news of the crushing defeat which made famous the rash, overbearing English general, who purchased with his life posthumous renown, came to astound the colonists as greatly as it amazed the English nation, many a young man from this locality enrolled himself in the hastily-recrulted company which, commanded by Capt. Isaac Wayne, was sent into Northampton County to guard the frontier inhabitants from threatened Indian attacks,2 as also in that commanded by Capt. George Aston.
