Larry, First, HETRINA is not on the internet, but if the Johann Baer you're interested in is from the Ansbach-Bayreuth Regiment(s), he would not be listed in HETRINA anyway, as HETRINA doesn't list the men from that combined Regiment. I find two Johann(es) Baers in John Merz's "Guide." -Baer, Johann, A-B, S#19, 33, D22/8/1782 w/ Armand's Corps. -Baer, Johannes, HHE, S#100, 17, SH-11/1782 (John Behr) Also listed: -Bayer, Johann, B-?, S#18, POW - location unknown Source #19 is "Mercenaries from Ansbach & Bayreuth" by Clifford Neil Smith Source #100 is HETRINA Vol. VI - 2 volumes - Hanauische Regimenter Source #18 is "Brunswick Deserters - Immigrant of the Amer. Rev." by Clifford Neil Smith There are two Private Bayers, who appear to be separate individuals, listed in Conrad Dohla's "A Hessian Diary of the American Revolution:" -p 112 "A Private [Mathias] Elias, of Eyb Company had to run a two hundred man gauntlet eight times because he had loudly complained about the English pay, and a Private Bayer, also of Eyb's Company ran four times." P 201 "19 Feb. 1782 - Private Bayer, of Quesnoy's Company, died in the poorhouse." My gggg grandfather was most likely Johann Christoph Waggoner, chaplain for the Ansbach Regiment. He was a POW at the barracks in Frederick, Maryland. Marie Rasnich Fetzer, on this list, is perhaps the most well-versed person to consult on the Ansbach-Bayreuthers. Merry Christmas and hope this helps! Susan

Dear Larry, I do not have any information about Johann Baer, and unfortunately I am not all that knowledgeable about the Ansbach-Bayreuth Regiments. I have only dug up what I could find in regards to researching my specific ancestor, and I don't have a good general understanding of their movements in America. But I wish I did! I've found there is not as much information available on these regiments as on some of the other Hessian regiments and wish you good luck!
