    3. Dear James & Ed, Thank you. I appreciate your taking the time to read, research & respond with all the information that both of you sent to my inquiry. I enjoyed what I was able to look at, today and shall keep the sites and continue to use & peruse them. As you probably know Johannes Peter Uber is not on - The URL for the on-line Pa. State Archives is http://www.digitalarchives.state.pa.us/ . Do you or does SKS know if there are similar sites (which list the individuals that were soldiers/patriots) for MD, VA & other states? I tried changing the PA to MD but that didn't work. (Each state probably contracts with their own ktr or lowest bidder if they even have the same things on-line.) I understand from kind soul, Ed St.Germain, that another "German Regt." was the 8th Va., raised by Peter MUHLENBERG in 1776. And of course he told me - GERMAN REGT. or Bn. was raised in Md. and Pa. under the Congressional resolution of 25 May '76. Col. Nicholas Haussegger was in command 17 July '76-19 Mar. '77, and Col. (Baron) De Arendt from the latter date to I Jan. '8 1. In 1777 it became one of the 16 "ADDITIONAL CONT'L. REGTS." The unit disgraced itself at Trenton, 2 Jan. '77, during the NEW JERSEY CAMPAIGN and HAUSSEGGER surrendered or defected to the enemy. Thanks, again. TIA Deborah in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC, USA
