Hi Kevin, If you haven't yet read the excellent work Marie Rasnick Fetzer compiled about our Ansbach-Bayreuth Regiment ancestors, you should. She did a fantastic job! (See the link below.) On page 19, she notes, from Conrad Dohla's diary: " 'According to Dohla, on August 27, 1782, Garrison orders were: 'Every prisoner of war who has the desire to remain in this country shall be set free at once and receive a Certificate from the Minister of War permitting him to enjoy the liberties As a native of the country. In this case he must pay the sum of eighty dollars.' Signed" John Wood, Colonel' " http://www.rasnickfamily.org/thehessianbarracks.pdf I have also heard others say it was required to be paid in "Spanish gold." I haven't studied it enough yet to know if that's factual. It's kind of a long story, and not easy to explain briefly, but when I learned of this, it threw out a red flag regarding my ancestor, Johann Christoph (Christopher) Waggoner. Some years later, Christopher was in Allegany Co., MD and was paying cash to the estate of an Edward Wilson. He is the only one to do so and there is no reason listed for the debt. It seemed odd. Edward Wilson and some others in the area, such as Lenox Martin, brother of the famous attorney, Luther Martin, can all be tracked back to Frederick Co., specifically the area around Frederick, the city, in the early 1780's. I feel this is one of the ties that help my case that Christopher in Allegany was indeed the Hessian Johann Christoph Waggoner. So, I was wondering if there were any records kept of the indentures of loans to the Hessians and I knew the awesome people on here may know. Hope this helps.

Thank you! Fortunately, the county in which Frederick, the city, is located is still the same - Frederick. So, hopefully, there may be a record on file. I'll give it a shot and update the list/archives if I find anything. I had written the historical society last week, but that could take up to 6 weeks to get an answer and I'm impatient. :) Thanks again!

Hello ! Reuter has a reference for Heinrich SÜSS, born 1761 Magdeburg, 4th recruit, discharged in Canada June 25th 1783. But here, in Quebec, we have a little controversy about this soldier and another one named Heinrich SASSE, born 1736 Stade, Specht Regiment, Liebcompany, discharged in Canada July 22nd 1783. Why ? Because here's a soldier named Jean André (In French, Heinrich became Henri or André; Johann is Jean ) married in 1785 at Berthierville (Quebec), he had many children always under the name Sass. Szast, etc. I know SÜSS is no SASSE but the one married at Berthierville declared to be from Calvin, Duchy of Magdeburg ! And he died in 1810 at the age of around 53 so born circa 1757. For these 2 reasons (from Magdeburg and born circa 1757), he is closer of your Heinrich SÜSS than the other one (born in Stade in 1736). He had 9 children with his first wife and 2 with his 2nd wife. It should be interesting to know how you reach him in your family tree. At least 6 children married and I know that one of them went to Manitoba in the west of Canada. Maybe I can help you if you write to me at my personal email.

Hi - I'm trying to trace my ancestor, Heinrich Suesse, who was a Private in Von Riedesel's regiment, arriving 4/22/1781 according to the *Muster Rolls and Prisoner-of-war-lists in American Archival Collections Pertaining to the German Mercenary Tropps who served with the British Forces During the American Revolution,* by Clifford Neal Smith. He appears to have been at Ft. Brooklyn on 7/20/1781. Apparently, he had not yet been assigned a company as of April 22, 1781. I was wondering if anyone has information on what happened to these troops? It is my understanding that Heinrich Suesse (Siess or Suess) stayed in Canada in 1783. I was also wondering in anyone had a copy of Claus Reuter's book and could check for his name? Thank you for your help.
Hello - I am trying to find out more about a great grandfather, Frederic Heil who arrived in Quebec June, 1776 with the Hesse-Hanau Infinity Regt., Major Martens Co., (MR)...according to DeMarce's book. At the end of her listing, it tells where he was born and then says, "Capt. Scheel's Co. (MHH)". I can not find any references to Scheel's or Marten's activities during the war. I have been doing my genealogy since a teenager, but this is a wall that I just broke through and is a bit confusing trying to internalize the Hessian involvement. I am wondering if I am correct in my findings that the Hesse-Hanau Regiment, that arrived in 1776, pretty much was joined with the Brunswick army, and as one article put it, "shared their fate"? I am also confused, as I see Ebprinz quite a bit and wonder if that also refers to the regiment that Heil belonged to. I am also curious if he deserted, or was dismissed...as he remained in LaPrairie and married. Lastly, would HETRINA VI tell me more about Frederic Heil, and if so, what is the best way to go about getting information from that resource? Thank you very much for any pointers anyone may share. Best, Jim
