From Hall's History of Eastern Vermont: "The Expedition against Louisburg, all things considered, is one of the most remarkable campaigns in modern history. The plan was organized by civilians and successfully carried out by men of little military experience. The army was made up largely of raw recruits but what they lacked in discipline and technical knowledge wa offset by their will and determination It was to a great extent a religious crusade against a foe who believed in a different creed. Louisburg was the strongest fortified position on the continent and was defended by a strong force, yet circumstances so conspired that it fell before an rmy of undisciplined militia."

Daniel married Judith EMERY on 29 Dec 1720. Judith (daughter of Stephen EMERY and Ruth JAQUES) was born on 25 Feb 1703 in Newbury, Essex, Massachusetts, USA; died on 30 May 1775. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
