Hello Hessian Soldier Searchers; I was wondering if anybody is paying attention to my once in a while postings, and yesterday I got an answer in the mail - I did mention that I still had some Personal Data Files on my computer's hard drive, and here came a request if I had the name SEEBOLD somewhere. Did not take me long to find two similar names, and perhaps the one or other of you have more to it. 1. one is Konrad SIEBOLD, he belonged to the Hessen-Kassel Leib Infantry Regiment, 4. Comp., but he was listed as missing in DEc. 1777, and later as having died of sickness or accident in Oct. 1780. Somebody once asked me for a soldier Johan Conrad SILBAUGH, who was said to be born 12 Dec 1758 in Hettenhausen, Bavaria. Konrad Siebold was born in Heringen/Werra. 2. the more likely one in my opinion is the Hanau soldier Johannes SEYBOLD (or SEIBOLD), who was captured at Saratoga with the Hessen-Hanau Regiment Erbprinz, 4. Comp. and went along with the rest of the Burgoyne army to Boston and Virginia, and later back to Pennsylvania, etc. He is reported as having 'SOLD' himself on 10 Oct. 1782, meaning he indentured himself for three years to some farmer. Here we could use some more information, anyway, Duncan, thanks for the ten bucks, and your trust in me, but no guarantee that any of the two is the one you need :--), the PDF's are in the mail. Cheers, John Helmut Merz
