Hi, Has anyone this CD. I am looking for a Maria, Mary, wife of Wilhelm Schwartz. I believe they married just before he mustered in or during the first year of the war. Their daughter Elizabeth was born in NY state in 1778. Hoping to find her in some list or their marriage listed by one of the Chaplains of the Rev. I can purchase this from Heritage Books but felt I would try here first. CD: They Also Served. Women with the Hessian Auxiliaries Connie
Has anyone a copy of this book. If so could you do a look up for me please. Wilhelm Schwartz. Wilhelm Swartz, or Johann Wilhelm Schwartz.

My ancestor Johan N. Link was a Hessian soldier, who never went home after the Revolution. He settled in Augusta County Virginia and we think he was buried there.
Keep trying. If the oral history of your family was that he was a Hessian he was probably from somewhere in what is now Germany.

Hello everyone, After 14 years of gathering data, I have finally completed a 704 page book on the life and the descendants of Johannes Petzinger from Dudenhofen who fought with the Hesse-Hanau artillery and was captured at the Battle of Bennington, Vermont. As John Pittsinger, he married Rhoda French in 1783, and they raised a family in Westhampton, Massachusetts. If anyone has questions about John, please contact me. Virginia Shafer
Adam: You may be right, but don't give up yet. There were other Germans who ended up in southern Vermont at the end of the war that did not come down with Burgoyne. The archives will detail the search for George Hadstadt, as well as my ancestor Johann Kaspar Schoenewolf. Both were listed as deserting from Hesse-Kassel troops. We know that Hessians likely ended up in western Massachusetts from a captured troop ship. There was a prison camp built at Rutland, Massachusetts where Hessians were let out to work with local farmers and craftsmen. The diary of Dr. Wasmus, which is discussed at length in the archives mentions some of these, but not by name. Hessians were also moved to Massachusetts from Rhode Island. Unfortunately, the names of most of these are unknown, and there are extremely few records from the Rutland, Mass. camp. Schoenewolf was reported as deserting on June 15, 1781, but we think that is more likely the date when his desertion was reported by officers who marched south from Massachusetts to join up with the main Hessian armies for shipment back to Europe. He married in Leominster, Mass and settled in Rockingham, Vermont. So keep searching. You never know when the next piece of the puzzle will fall into place, or where it will come from.

Adam, I don't see anything close to that surname in John Merz's "Guide," however, I do happen to know that there was a clan of DEFFINBAUGHs in the southern Bedford Co., PA/ Allegany Co., MD area. I don't know if these folks descended from a Hessian, but several Hessians, including mine, did eventually settle there. Hope this helps. Susan
The original German word would probably have been Tieffenbach which translates to deep stream.

It is possible, but I have Georg Pausch's diary where he lists all the men on his roster, and nobody's name is even close to what you're looking for. There is another possibility--all of the German units would have had servants along for the officers. Not being soldiers, these men are not listed by name, so I don't know where you might find information on them. -----Original Message----- >From: Adam Call Roberts <[email protected]> >Sent: Dec 20, 2011 12:48 AM >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [AMREV-HESSIANS] "Tiffnaner" Surname > >Jack, thanks for the info.
