1. Re: Unit of Lt. Andreas Wiederhold [1]
Nelson The information regarding the parole of the Schmeltz brothers to Atlee in Lancaster is contained in an appendix in the book "Descendents of Andreas Schmeltz" by Robert Fisher. It has the portion of the Hetrina and Philadelphia Gaol records which pertain to the brothers. I can give you Robert's address if you wish to contact him. He also is the author of "Ancesters of Andreas Schmeltz" in the JJHSA. Terry
2. Re: 4th of July [1]
I hesitate to send this to this list, since it seems that signers stories are off topic for a Hessian list-- but I am trying to stop the spread of this tantalising but inaccurate 'broadside'. I beg John's & the list's forgiveness. Any frustration that might show through here, is not directed at Ed-- but at the proliferation of this specious [and really *understated*, IMO] line of stuff. I saw it come around last year & before I got a chance to review the 'facts', Brook Harlowe posted a great followup
3. Riedesel at Hubbardton. [1]
>From the "Encyclopedia of the American Revolution" by Mark M.Boatner III page 528: ".........On the other end of the line Francis started pushing back the weakened British left. The British were egtting the worst of it, being unaccustomed to forest fighting and taking heavy losses from accurate American fire, when the Germans rushed up to save them. Riedesel had moved that morning as planned, and when he heard the firefight start he hurried forward with the jaegers and grenadiers who had caught up with Fra

5. Filing and Finding. [1]
To whom it may concern! My very first job when I entered the business world as an apprentice was 'filing', I had to file all the letters, invoices, copies, etc., into file boxes lining a huge wall. Ever since I have been the 'King' of filers, I get it, I file it, but -- the heat makes me say this - filing and finding are two different things, there is absolutely no guarantee that I find again what I file away, so if there is anybody out there who's been waiting longer since last year, forgive me. I will tak
6. Books [1]
Hi all! While surfing books online I found these at Barnes and Noble. There is some very good information here that you might find helpful in searching for your Hessians. If the link doesn't come through, just go to Barnes and Noble and enter Hessian in the topic search. This is just one author. They have many. I think they have the Fast books too. Happy Hunting! http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/amrev-hessians/1999-07/0931187808

7. Re: Allendorf - Hessian Soldier. [1]
Going through my old e-mails of last year I found my reply of 21/4/98 to your enquiry of 1/Oct/1997, as follows: "Going back to your question of what info. I have on the name Allendorf or Allenduff, there is nothing on Allenduff, but this is what I have about Allendorf: >From Hetrina I - Allendorf, Matthias, b.1751/54, at Felsberg D3582, Private, Hesse-Kassel Grenadier Battl.

8. Re: Registry-K - Kirchhof [1]
There were a total of four Brunswick soldiers listed with Rimpau, Kirchhoff, Friedrich, born Barmecke; Kirchhoff, Christoph, born at Benneckenstein; Kirchhoff, Juergen born at Suepplingen; and last not least Kirchhoff, August Andreas, born at Helmstedt. the first three are listed as 'Whereabouts unknown', while the last one is reported as having deserted at Frederickstown 1778. General Riedesel's Order book states in the case of August Andreas that he deserted during the march from Boston to Charlottestown
9. George Fischer - Cambridge [1]
George Fischer - Cambridge, Albany County, NY in 1790 becomes Cambridge, Washington Co., NY and is pretty much due East of Saratoga Springs, Saratoga County, NY and Northeast of Stillwater where the Battle of Saratoga was fought. If George Fischer was there for 1790 census, I have to wonder when did he "leave" the troups? Did he come back up here later or did he stay in the area after the battle? I am going to send the message to Laura Hulslander who maintains the Washington Co. GenWebPage. She has
10. Re: BOHM (or Boehm, and Fenner) [1]
Leroy, thank you for your letter, right now it is too hot to get my brain working, but just in case someone is out there lurking and knows more about it, this information should not be lost. I know we had some Fenner descendants, who did not know who his wife was, only knew -Catherine- born in N.J. or N.Y., those descendants will be delighted I am sure to hear from you. Now, I have to get a 'cold' one, and relax, John after all, it's the 4th of July. mailto:LeroyOB@aol.com wrote: > > John, > This is Leroy
11. Re: Defrees/Defreese [1]
Hello List, Now I have additional information that Elizabeth Defrees' birthdate may have been about 1781. She married Carl Simon Wrede (Charles Frady). Several Defrees children are shown in the records born in Rockbridge, Virginia, between 1780 and 1787. Any help appreciated. Louise F.

12. Thoughts and a Genealogy quiz for 4th of July [1]
Hello Many of us will be celebrating this holiday in many ways, as Americans do, but I would like to suggest that you take the time to give thought to how valuable your freedom really is. We in America, have chosen to allow many changes in the laws to accomodate the whims of some people that have taken away or lessen the rights of others. American has long been the place the world looked to as being a great nation, but our image has changed a lot and some countries we have called friends are working ag

Hello Bob, noticed your query below, and will put it into my for ever growing files. You know the jigsaw puzzle effect, every little piece counts. I did not know about your Schaeffer/Sheffer connection, you know that there are three 'Schaeffer' listings in my book about the Nova Scotia Hessians. Two of them serving with the Seitz Regt, same as your Valentin Klein. Did you ever get anybody from Brotterode in Germany? Gee, the one Schaeffer, Kaspar was also from Brotterode, what a co-incidence. There got to

Dear AMREV-HESSIANS, please read for its interesting contents, but please leave the answering of his question about the HETRINA to myself. Our mail list archives are full with exact details and many listings where this volumes are available. All he has to do is access our mail list archives, which are posted almost continiously, and click on hetrina in the query box. Thank you. As far as the soldier Jacob Barthel/Bartheld is concerned, he was born in Knickhagen D3701 now 34233 Fuldatal/Hessen, just a f
17. Re: Heister [1]
Hi, Josephine (you are not named after 'Joseph', are you?) You are posing an interesting question, but failed to mention who this Joseph Hiester/Heister was, a rebel? To read more about Lieutenant General Leopold von Heister, try the book by Rodney Atwood "The Hessians", published by Cambridge University Press, 1980, or the book "The Hessians" by Edward J. Lowell, first published 1884, reprinted 1970 by Corner House Publishers. Cheers, John. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Josephine "TallFeather" Dreyer wrote: mail
18. Re: Milkerte [1]
Hello John/Wanda; I spent some time at the Montreal Library (Salle Gagnon) this PM and looked up your Milkerte. Through the PRDH I knew that there was a baptism in 1779 in L'Assomption, and a wedding in St Roch L'Achigan (a small place not far from St-Roch). So I checked both places, but found nothing to help us. However, Wanda may be interested in the following: At L'Assomption: August 2, 1779: Baptism of Jean Baptiste Miljour, s/o Jean Baptiste and Louise Gauthier dite Landreville; At St-Roch
19. Re: Milkerte [1]
Hello Wanda, I am sure our expert on the Montreal scene will come to the rescue, because I myself are lost at this point in time. I have found the entry of this marriage in the Christ Church records published by the Quebec Family History Society, and also in Virginia DeMarce's book 'German military Settlers in Canada' but she was not sure if he was indeed a German soldier of King George's auxiliary troops. Frankly, since I could not find his name in my files, I strongly suspect that he belonged to a Britis

21. Re: QUestion I sent to AMREV-HESSIANS that never got answered [1]
Dear Karen, thanks for writing, but at this point in time there is little else I can do in search for your names. You have to do some digging yourself, and I would like to ask you to start digging in our mail archives. Everything said about anything can be found in the archives if you use the right search words. That's why I put all my answers, including this one, over the list to have it automatically archived for future reference. For instance, you asked what the Ansbach or Ansbachers are, type in Ansbac
22. Palatine Records [1]
Paula Hank Jones wrote the books on the Palatines and the books are at NYS Library. I can look up the information you seek in the books. Send me more information to check with such as family names, dates and places. Hank Jones did the seminar this May for Heritage Hunters in Saratoga Springs and if anyone ever gets an opportunity to attend his seminar, you should. He spits out these German names and they sound like music. As a matter of fact, some of them he remembers with rhymes or catchy sayings
23. Re: Books [1]
Thanks to Judy Anderman's posting of the barnesandnoble website, I was tempted to browse through their book lists for 'Hessians' and by golly, I found three titles, one I have been looking for ages, one I could get at a discount, and one which looks like a novel I have not had heard of before, but sounded interesting. Its called "Right Hand of God" and according to the description deals with Hessian mercenaries. Anybody knows it? Anyway, my order is in, confirmation is here by e-mail, and they even charged
24. RE: Hessian Soldier Johannes Clobes [1]
Hi, There has always been an oral history that my ggg grandfather, John Clovis was an Hessian soldier and after he deserted he changed his name from Clobes to Clovis. There was a John Clovus listed on the 1790 census of Washington Co., Maryland which I have proved to be my ggg grandfather. I have info that a Johannes Clobes was listed in the Hetrina as a private in Courier (Fledjager Corps) and deserted October 1777. I would like to find out if there was any additional info listed in the Hetrina ab
25. Re: American Revolution History - whose history? [1]
John I knew that I was descended from a Hessian soldier from the time I was a child. There is no question that their descendents became solid contributing citizens of the USA. When I was growing up the schools and other institutions taught us to be patriotic. I am proud of my Hessian ancestry, but I always had a desire to find an ancestor on the American or good guys side of the Revolution. I suspect many of the people at Saratoga got the same kind of education and think similarly. I have since f
