Here is the first page of the will for my 7th great grandfather, Jonathan Cass who died September 13, 1745 in Kensington, New Hampshire.

Tabitha (Ring) and Jonathan Cass - marriage

From the book, "Old Families of Salisbury and Amesbury, Massachusetts by David W Hoyt" is documentation of the marriage of my 7th great grandparents, Tabitha (Ring) and Jonathan Cass on April 10, 1724 in Salisbury, Massachusetts.

Jonathan Cass - death

My 7th great grandfather apparently died September 13, 1745 due to injuries sustained during the Siege of Louisbourg in Nova Scotia, Canada.

Here is a transcription from New Hampshire from 1905 that indicates the date of death was actually September 14, 1745 and that he died from a sore throat, rather than due to injuries from serving in the military.

Here is another document verifying Jonathan (#20) did serve for the colony of New Hampshire and the footnote indicates he died September 13, 1745.

Here is a document* indicating Jonathan's widow, Tabitha (Ring) filed a petition for medical and funeral expenses as the result of her husband's death.  This document also confirms his date of death was September 13, 1745.

 Here is a brief synopsis of the Siege of Louisbourg of 1745.
