Dear Ed, Thank you for the information Re: German Battalion of the Continental Army you sent me. (see below) I appreciate that you have taken the time to read my inquiry and reply giving me a broad basic education/grounding about the German Battalion of the Continental Army. This definitely takes me forward in understanding of how my direct line ancestor was involved in the Revolutionary War. Thanks, again. Where would be the best places to find a record of Johannes Peter Uber's purported service in the German Battalion of the Continental Army. Does this mean that each individual in this battalion was individually disgraced or could an individual have gone on to be a "patriot"? Does anyone know where to look (other then the US Archives) for a record of Johannes Peter Uber's service? Are there websites? - books? I have tried & spent some time on the website Ed gave me "AMERICANREVOLUTION.ORG" but it is so big that I don't know what to look under for listings of the members of units if it even has that. Any KS with information and/or guidance please contact me as any tidbit is greatly appreciated.

Dear Jan, Thank you for your reply. snip http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/UBER/1999-07/0933144744 Is this the man you are looking for? If yes, perhaps she will have answers for you. end snip Yes, Johannes Peter Uber but Denise Smith's electronic/web mail address at this site [Denise Smith - poliwogsis@webtv.net] & Dave Goff's - 'davegoff@bev.net' <'davegoff@bev.net'> is/are no longer valid. However, she received her Uber information from my cousin Michele Cragg. I am in touch with my cousins Michele Cragg & Douglas Mechler and with Merry Anne Pierson who all have large Uber family files on-line on the world wide web. As of now, it appears that the information regarding Johannes Peter Uber's military service was given by someone who has not yet responded to e-mail (which is the only point of contact we have for him) without sourcing documentation. I appreciate that you took the time to read, research, and reply to my inquiry. Thanks, again. Deborah in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC, USA

Southern Campaign Heritage Area Study: On May 23, 2002 Representative John Spratt (D-SC) introduced legislation (H.R. 4830) to direct the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a suitability/feasibility study to consider establishing the Southern Campaign of the Revolution Heritage Area in South Carolina. According to the legislation, South Carolina contains aspects of the country's Revolutionary heritage worthy of recognition and has the potential for various public and private entities to work collectively to develop a national heritage area. The study area includes over two dozen counties in South Carolina and an unspecified number of counties in North Carolina. The measure has been referred to the House Committee on Resources for action.
