Can SKS please tell me if the above was a Battalion in the Revolutionary Army? If so, where would I be able to find out if he really was an USA revolutionary soldier? NSDAR has no record. My 5 x g grandfather was Johannes Peter Uber. From three different sources I have the following information. Could someone please tell me if Hesse, Loetzenberen, and the Palatinate are three mutually exclusive places or is one within another? Does anyone have any idea where I should start looking for Johannes Peter Uber's family in the Germanys or the Holy Roman Empire or whatever that area was in 1730? Could anyone please give me some ideas of where to start looking? Are there websites? John McDonald was united in marriage to Mary Uber (granddaughter of Johannes Peter Uber), who was a native of Pennsylvania and was descended from an old Hessian family that settled in the Keystone state soon after he Revolutionary war. JOHANNES PETER1 UBER was born 1730 in Loetzenberen, Germany, and died June 1809 in Greensburg, Westmoreland Co., PA, USA. He married ANNA MARIA ZIEGLER. She died Unknown.
