Hi, Your: Someone know of this fellow? He was there in Md with my Conrad Luther's brother Christian Luther. "List of deaths of leading individuals" June 2, 1789 Baron Knyphausen, the Hessian general, who served in America during the greater part of the Revolutionary War Yes ... LOL but not personally... Now that is interesting....A German General who lead The Regiment von Knyphausen, from Hesse-Cassel. I woner if he came back to the USA... Or never went home? Johann Jacob Bonstein. Johann Jacob and his brother Paulus were enlisted in to Company B, of the Regiment von Knyphausen. They both were born in Roperhausen. Name latter became Grossropenhousen and can be found in Germany even today.
