Thanks for the indenture info on the above. Initially, I had thought it might be Johannes WIlhelm Siebert of the vonWIssenbach troops. born Feb 1751 and deserted in l782 in Savanna GA. I have long suspected an indenture for him and have looked for an oath or citizenship application after that time, especially before l793 when WIlliam Severs born l752 married in Montgomery Co VA. If you know anyplace new to look for such I would be glad to pay for a search. Last time I visitied the SAR Library in Louisville they were getting a nice place for your collection and had it on display as a "New Acquisition". Glad to hear you are still active. William Severs l752 died at age l00 (If he is really the Hessian Johannes WIlhelm SIebert, he was really 101). I always thought it was due to those good German Genes. I found his family in Metzebach Germany but have been unable to trace a male relative to a living person. Recently I was able to match my own DNA to that of another person named Severs but unknown descendant of William Severs l752 and it matched proving that line to be desc from the same person. If I could find a living male from the family of Jost or Wilhelm SIebert of Metzebach born around l720 I could do a similar study and probably prove or disprove that line as a Hessian ancestor.
