Hi Dave, I believe that it's Zephanja in German. As I mentioned in an earlier thread here, from 2006, regarding Zephaniah Double, I have an ancestor who was a revolutionary war soldier from Martha's Vineyard named Zephaniah Chase, but he was on the American side and not of German descent. One of his decendants married a descendant of my Brunswicker, in New York State. Just an amusing coincidence. Bill Smith Descendant of Daniel Engelcke (Angle), von Specht Regiment, Brunswick, later joined Massachusetts 10th Regiment of the Continentals. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dave Double Date: Friday, August 26, 2011 9:22 pm Subject: Re: [AMREV-HESSIANS] Can you point me in the right direction?
