I am searching for the parents and birth record of James Morris Vesper
1827/8 and Isaac N. Vesper1829/30 They were both born Newburyport, Ma. but I
have been unable to verify this. They were later in New Hampshire. Their
parent may have been THOMAS VESPER md ELIZABETH MORRIS , Milbury,
Worcestershire, Ma. 1824. James and Isaac VESPER both enlisted in the
MEXICAN war and later went deserted.

I believe that there were some VESPER MEN who were HESSION soldiers fighting
for England in the Revolutionary war who deserted and swam across to
American soil from a ship and became American soldiers.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
