Listed below is the information I have about my 6g-grandfather as a
Hessian soldier. Is any information you can add?? I have a nephew, in
Germany, as a guest of Uncle Sam, what can I suggest to him to do to
gather information about Justus Arnold ??

NUMBER OF UNIT IN THE COMPUTER LIST IS : 298-300
NAME: Justus Arnold
DATE OF BIRTH: Abt 1754
PLACE OF BIRTH: Wichmannshausen
ORIGIN CODE: D3441+ = Means: Federal Republic of Germany,

Landgrafschaft Hessen Kassel
HIS RANK: Private (Gemeiner)
UNIT: ERB = Prince-Successor (Erbprinz) Regiment
ENLISTMENT DATE (?): 1775 Archive code: SR625
PRISONER OF WAR DATE: 1783 Archive code: 8815/8

The reference book this information came from is:
VEROFFENTLICHUNGEN

I know that Justus served in the southern area of the Am Rev War - New
York then to Yorktown. Taken to Frederick, MD as a POW and stayed in
America instead of going back to Germany - listed as a desserter.

Thank you in advance for any advice you can give to me.
