Ellen, The only man with the surname "George" listed in John Merz's "Guide" is: Georg, Johannes, 2. Co., 1750/51 Holzhausen, D2-5/1783 This entry is listed in the "Deserters as registered by the Hessische Archives Marburg in HETRINA IV of the Hesse-Kassel Field-Jaeger Corps" section of his Guide. The notation "D2" means he deserted from his unit in 1783. Hope this helps! Susan
