Hi John White, Your: affirm in fact that Johannes was Hessian and not Brunswicker like Karl. Makes me think that possibly you believe that the term Hessian used on this list only means a German soldier that was a Hessian. Forgive me if I'm incorrect, but OUR term Hessian is used as a general naming for all German soldiers who served in any German unit in the Rev. War on the English side. So your Johannes in this cercumstances would be considered a Hessian, even though it was not his unit nor where he came from..... Nelda LM and not a Hessian researcher Nelda L.
