Were matchlocks used or Snaphance or even the dog lock.

1675 should put it into the flintlock era, probably with wooden ramrods

@14Bore.
Matchlocks were still in use up to the late 17th century in War of League of Augsburg. I imagine there would still be a fair number in use in "The Colonies" 20 years earlier.
