Nollner in 1786 in the newly formed Petersburg, an Independent Virginia City. His obituary says he served in the American Revolution. I have always wondered if he came to this country with the Hessians. Some intriguing clues. Hessians were imprisoned in Charlottesville nearby to Petersburg. Col. Theodoric Bland of Petersburg was commander of the prison camp for a period. Henry married Jane Kirkham, and seems to have been a merchant. His 2 sons, Bernard and Joseph, became physicians. His daughter, Anna Marie married Pleasant Akin, a wealthy commodities dealer, and another daughter, Christina Rosser, moved to Texas with her husband. Does any member of the list recognize Heinrich? Does anybody know about other residents of Treffurt who served as a Hessia?. I have heard that for German Protestant parish churches there was a system showing when a town resident remove! d ! > from town. Has anyone experience with this? How would I go about inquiring about this? Finally, does anyone know if Heinrich Adam Nollner appears in the Hetrina? Thank you, Carol A.
