Hi Connie, they were on the American side. Bill

Does anyone know if the Dorchester papers are accessible without having to go to London? I have been informed that my Hessian is mentioned in them. Thanks Susan Researching: Johann Christoph Waggoner, Feldprediger, A-B

Might someone have a copy of know where I can get a copy of the list of men in this Fishkill, NY corps? 1 Oct 1778 - 1 Nov 1778 Muster & Pay Rolls of Captain John Paul Schott's Corps, Fishkill, NY Connie

Hello List, I found these Wagner names of men who came to New York City in 1782. I would be interested in knowing what they were doing there in 1782. I am particularly interested in information about Christian Wagner. Does anyone have access to this book and can look him up? I found these names in the Sierra Home Generations Version 4.2 listing of Historic Records, Early Immigrants. Smith, Clifford Neal. Muster Rolls and POW Lists in Amer. Archival. <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Illinois: Westland Publications, 1974-1976.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Adam Wagner, New York City, 1782 Christian Wagner, New York City, 1782 Heinrich Wagner, New York City, 1782 Jean George Wagner, New York City, 1782 Martin Wagner, New York City, 1782 Philip Wagner, New York City, 1782 Thanks!

I have an ancestor cousin who was "arrested after desertion". What does "arrested after desertion" means? In other words, who did the arresting? Was it the Colonial forces, or was he arrested by the Hessian military? There is no record of him returning home to Hesse. Thanks, John

For those of you who are researching Brunswick soldiers, you may be interested in reading a wonderful journal by August Wilhelm Du Roi that I recently discovered on-line, entitled Journal of Du Roi the Elder Lieutenant and Adjutant, in the Services of the Duke of Brunswick, 1776-1778, translated from the original German manuscript in the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C., by Charlotte S. J. Epping University of Pennsylvania (New York: Appleton & Company, 1911). Journal is readable on-line and available free as an e-book. While the journal contains very few names of rank and file soldiers, it does contain wonderful descriptions of the voyage to Canada, observations about Canada and the residents , descriptions of the activities of the Brunswick contingent in Canada and its journey toward Bennington, the names of officers either killed or missing at Bennington, a description of the march of the convention army from Rutland to VA, description and condition of the barracks, etc. Mary Hicks

I think HETRINA only covers soldiers from one of the Hesse regions whether online or the books.  I know my Brunswicker wasn't in there.
