In December, 1747, the Assembly having made no provision for the defence of the City
and Province, many of the inhabitants became alarmed and voluntarily entered into an
association for defence. Companies were formed, which proceeded to choose officers, who,
in turn, assembled and chose their superior officers, all being commissioned by the
direction of the Provincial Council.-Col. Records, vol. V, pages 172, 174. The result of
this movement is detailed in the message of
Page 502
Anthony Palmer, President, to the Assembly dated May 17, 1748: "This Province which very
lately was in a defenceless state, is now, through the zeal and activity of some, who
have the love of their country sincerely at heart, rendered capable, with the blessing
of god, of defending itself against the designs of our enemies, many thousands of the
inhabitants having voluntarily entered into the most solemn engagements for that
purpose; in consequence whereof, arms have been provided, and every one appears
assiduous in qualifying himself for the defence of his country. They have likewise at
considerable expense, erected batteries on the River, so situated and of such strength
and weight of metal, as to render it very dangerous for an enemy to attempt the bringing
any ships before the city. We have granted commissions to such general and other
officers, as from time to time been presented to us for that purpose by the Association.
Since these measure tend so manifestly, under God, for the security of this Province, the
preservation of its metropolis, we think they justly deserve the assistance and
encouragement of your House."--Votes of Assembly, vol. IV, page 72

In the fall of 1755, after General Braddock's defeat, there were several companies of
militia sent into Northampton, and other frontier counties, to guard the inhabitants.
Among the rest was one raised by Isaac Wayne, father of the late Gen. Wayne, with whom I
entered as a volunteer, being then turned of sixteen years. Our company, with some
others, rendezvoused at Easton, under the command of General Dr. Benjamin Franklin, for
some days, until the arrival of a New England Gentleman, of the name of Clapham, who
took upon him the command, and Dr. Franklin returned to Philadelphia. Soon afterwards we
were ordered to a place called Canoteu Hatten (Gnadenhutten) a Moravian town and
settlement, the inhabitants of which had all been murdered by the Indians. We erected a
Stockade Fort there, to which was given the name of Fort Allen. The fall and winter were
spent in erecting a number of Stockade forts on the frontier of Northampton county. In
the month of February we were relieved and discharged. Col Samuel Miles' manuscript,

Third Battalion
Third Battalion (known as Augusta Regiment). "In 1756, I again entered the service as
a Sergeant, in Capt. Thomas Lloyd's company, and at my arrival at John Harris', (now
Harrisburg) where the Battalion which was intended to march against the Indians at
Shamokin, rendezvoused under the immediate command of the Governor of the Province,
Robert Hunter Morris. I was selected to attend the Commander-in-Chief, as Orderly
Sergeant, in which capacity I continued until a day or two before the Governor left,
when he was pleased to give me an Ensign's commission. As soon as the troops were
collected and properly equipped, we marched for Shamokin. We crossed the Susquehanna and
marched on the west side thereof, until we came opposite to where the town of Sunbury now
stands, where we crossed over in Batteaux. In building the fort at Shamokin, Capt. Levi
Trump and myself had charge of the workmen, and after it was finished, our Battalion
remained there in garrison until the year 1758." Miles' manuscript
