Hi, How does one look up a Germanic Soldier who did not stay here? Johannes Ziegler, b. Abt Oct 1739, Grossropperhausen, Cassel, Germany died 30 Jan 1825, Grossropperhausen, Cassel, Germany his occupation was a soldier, he married a Bonnstein relative Martha Elisabeth (Bon-1a) /Bonstein/ in 1766 He may have served in the French Indian War instead, looking at his age in 1776-1739= 37, but he was a carrier soldier.

Hello List, I have a question, but PLEASE do not respond here. Please answer me off-list to avoid problems like we had a few weeks ago! My question is this: Does anyone have a bronze Hessian SOLDIER Plaque that they would like to trade me for a Hessian DESCENDANT plaque??? Thanks, Marie

If you haven't read it already, get a copy of Johan Ewald's "Diary of the American War." It is often up on ebay. It is a really detailed history of the combined jaeger korps during the revolution. It is filled with detailed maps as well. Since Ewald became a pretty important figure in miletary strategy, this is an equally important book. The jaeger korps was in action in most of the important actions in the war.

Ever wonder what your Hessian ancestor really did during the War? I just read some Hessian terminology on Wikipedia that I found interesting at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hessian_%28soldiers%29 which described some of the jobs that our Hessian soldiers held and which I have condensed below. If any of our military historians find this information to be incorrect or incomplete, please adjust accordingly. JӒGER is a term that was adopted to describe a kind of light infantry. While it literally means "hunter" in German, in military contexts Jäger may be regarded as meaning "rifleman" or "fighter" (in the same sense as "fighter aircraft"). The Etymology and Mission of Jägers are thus akin to Army Rangers. Jäger were at first recruited in the mid-eighteenth century amongst huntsmen and foresters in certain German states. They were often of "middle class" backgrounds, or belonged to the lesser nobility. As professional foresters, jäger were skilled in weapons and horses, and were primarily used for reconnaissance, skirmishing or screening bodies of heavier troops. Since they owned their own weapons they could (in principle) fill a crucial defensive role as militia in case of surprise assaults before any mobilization had been ordered, or as organizers of partisan warfare after an occupation. Jäger were not just skilled riflemen, they were also able to handle and maintain delicate, accurate rifles in an age when very few people had any mechanical skill. Jäger were excellent snipers able to inflict heavy casualties among enemy officers. Their ability to lay exceptionally accurate rifle fire also made them good for providing covering fire for other more vulnerable troop types such as sappers or engineers constructing forward trenches. For fights in close quarters the Jäger carried a straight-bladed hunting dagger (Hirschfänger), a short sabre or a falchion. HUSSAR refers to a number of types of light cavalry. GRENADIER was originally a specialized soldier, first established as a distinct role in the mid-to-late 17th century, for the throwing of grenades and sometimes assault operations. At this time grenadiers were chosen from the strongest and largest soldiers. Grenade usage declined significantly in the early 18th century, a fact that can be attributed to the improved effectiveness of massive infantry line tactics and flintlock technology. However, the need for elite assault troops remained, and the existing grenadier companies were used for this purpose. As noted, above average physical size had been considered important for the original grenadiers and, in principle, height and strength remained the basis of selection for these picked companies. CHAUSSEUR was a sharpshooter. MUSKETEER was an early modern type of infantry soldier equipped with a musket. Musketeers were an important part of early modern armies, particularly in Europe. They sometimes could fight on horseback, like a dragoon or a cavalryman. The musketeer was a precursor to the rifleman. FUSILIER was originally the name of a soldier armed with a light flintlock musket called the fusil. The word was first used around 1680, and has later developed into a regimental designation. I also found at the bottom of that Wiki Hessian page, just above the footnotes was a link to view the 1909 silent film by D. W. Griffiths entitled "1776" or "The Hessian Renegades" http://www.silentera.com/PSFL/data/S/SeventeenSeventySix1909.html . While it does portray the Hessian soldiers in an unfavorable and cartoonish light, I think it's interesting to view this ten minute film because, at the time of its filming, those people were more than one hundred years closer to the event of the American Revolution than we are today. It gives us some idea of what the American "patriots" felt about the Hessian soldiers at that time, and insight into some of the cultural prejudices our German ancestors and their descendants had to overcome in their new homeland. I noticed that the filming location looked like it could have possibly been an historically authentic location, and was listed in the credits as being Cuddlebackville, NY, but I don't know if that place has any direct connection with Hessian activity or not.

If I’ve misdirected this inquiry, please point me in the right direction... Thank you, Dick Roppé, Hemet, CA My 4th great grandfather was Simon Ruckert. Simon settled in Lovettsville, VA. His son was Peter Ruckert, born 11 March 1785. Lovettsville was heavily settled by Germans. I am trying to find out if Simon was one of the Hessian soldiers. This is what I have uncovered so far: The following Ruckerts are listed as soldiers from the Ansbach-Bayreuth Regiments- 515 Rückert Johann Michael Gemeiner A I Des Juni 1783 Döckingen 516 Rückert Johann Simon Gemeiner A II Des 15.10.1781 Weipershofen 517 Rückert Peter Gemeiner B II Dezember 1782 In addition to Peter, Simon and his wife had two other boys named Michael and Simon, Jr. Is this just a coincidence? I’m trying to find out, were these three Ruckert boys related, did they all settle in the Lovettsville area, and most importantly were they the Hessian soldiers listed. Is there anyone who can assist me in proving or disproving my thought that Simon was the Hessian from Weipershofen and Simon, Peter and Michael were related? ############################################################################################### COMMENT: If two or more men descended from brother/cousins (Some type of relatedness) test, their Y-STR DNA Markers; the results can be compared to see if they have a common ancestor. It will not tell you who the common ancestor is just that you have one. The genealogy trail is the only way you can identify the name of the common ancestor.

You seem to be the only unhappy one so leave and let the rest of us have some peace!
