    2. Ann, There is a copy of the Certificate of redemption form recorded in the Journal of the Johannes Scwalm Historical Association,Inc. in Volumn 5, Number 2. 1994. It is discussed on page 4 of that edition, and one is copied on the back cover. It concerns a Hessen Hanau soldier named Johannes Urbach/Orbach. The Certificate states: "This certifies that John Orbach2 of the Regiment of Hessen Hanau (a prisoner of war to the United States of America ) has paid into My Hand Eighty Dollars for the purpose of his redemption; in consequence of which I promise to procure for him a discharge from under the Hand of the Honorable Major General Lincoln, Secretary of War.
