Thework, however, progressed slowly, partly because of a lackof tools, which the people in the neighborhood failed tosupply as had been expected, and partly because of theseason of the year. It was finished, however, about Jan-uary 20, 1756, and named after James Hamilton, whosucceeded Governor Denny as Governor of the Province,his commission being dated July 19, 1759, though notpresented by him to the Council until November 17 of thesame year. Upon the completion of Fort Hamilton Captain Trumpwas ordered to commence the erection of Fort Norris,and appears to have been relieved by Captain Craig, whois reported on duty April 20, 1756, with 41 men.

434 The Pennsylvania-German Society. better than any I had seen on the No side of the moun-tain. Fort Hamilton stands in a Corn Field by a Farmhouse in a plain and clear country, it is a Square with 4half Bastions all very 111 contrivd and finishd, the Stac-cades open 6 inches in many Places, and not firm in theground, and may be easily pulPd down, before the gateare some Staccades drove in the Ground to cover it whichI think might be a great Shelter to an Enemy, I thereforeorderd to pull them down, I also orderd to fill up theother Staccades where open. . . . I found here a Lieut and Eight men, 7 were gone toEaston with a Prisoner Deserter from Gen. ShirleysRegt. The corn field in which Fort Hamilton then stood isnow in the western section of the town of Stroudsburg,just north of the old Stroud mansion standing on the north-west corner of Main and William Streets. How long Captain Craig remained in command we arenot told. From him it passed under the charge of Cap-tain Nicholas Weath
