This body •waeraised :from the--whig or loyal clans;: Campbells, - .Grants, Monroes, and ,•other, men of good .station, who joined it for the valued privilege of bearing arins, The duties of the "Black Watch" were to enforce the disarming act in Scotland and to overawe the disaf- fected population to preyent:political meetings. of--a-•,seditious- character • and to check depredations ' among the clans on, • the lowland frontier. .After considerable service of this character" the 'eompaniea . were brought together and formed the Forty-second, Regiment, under .

The Shadow of Great Britain was continually 'cast: athwart the; path of France in: the western' wilderness. As early 'as 1716' it was reported to the Governor. of, Canada that the English• were constructing:. , forts near the Ohio and ,Mississippi. The heed of guarding the Illinois settlements became more manifest when the discovery, 'of valuable mines in that locality was ,announced: When the 'grant of the province of Louisiana was surrendered in 1717: •John 'Laws' famous •eompany , was read -y._ to become its possessor: and .to dazzle the multitaide'with'th'e .glitter-' ing lure of gold and silver' in Illinois.
