Yes, thanks Nelda, the term Hessian is a catch all as I was aware.
Anecdotal history in our family refers to Johannes Weiss simply as a Hessian soldier
who did not want to go back to Germany and settled on a land grant provided
by George Washington near Crab Bottom (now Blue Grass) VA. Actually, he first
settled in Fort Seybert, Pendleton Co. (now WV) He and Karl Haldermann (
aka Charles Halterman) are listed in the local militia together. There were
two Johannes Weiss Brunswickers, both reported killed at Bennington. So my
search continues as to the true origin of Johannes Weiss in America.
