Fred -- Thanks. I was uneasy as I wrote that as it didn't "feel right"; however, HETRINA III codes Hans Heinrich Vogel as dying in Oct 1779 from non-battle-related causes and the next name, Justus Vogel, from Allendorf (also KNY1) is coded the same way so I decided this was how the troops on the ARCHER were covered by HETRINA III. I was wrong!.

Hi Bob & Fred, Thank you for that correction Fred, I didn't know if it was incorrect or if my information was incorrect. My two Hessians Johann Jacob Bonstein on the Trenton and Paulus Bonstein on the Archer, my information had Paulus going to Quebec. I did not know it was the next summer though... Thank you.

For those who are interested, the voyage of the Archer is detailed in the troop diary of the von Knyphausen written by Lt. Ritter. Ritter was on board the Archer, so his account paints an interesting picture of the adventures of these troops. The diary has been translated into English. While on PEI, 3 German officers, von Borck, Zimmeramnn and Schimmelfeng received land grants in Charlottetown from the British crown. It is doubtful that they ever returned to the Island, but several other soldiers from the regiment did.
