Washington who at this time was 31 years old and a veteran of the French/Indian War: “Since Washington entered the list of fame / and by a journey to Lake Erie came / since he defeats a French detached band / under brave Junonville’s command.”, and his saving Braddock from total annihilation, A brief chronology of Remarkable Events relating chiefly to the present war (French-Indian), the 'Settlement and Increase of New-England' hopes for the cession of Canada to the British, which will "greatly promote and increase the settling and peopling of America.
