    3. Goal: To determine if Nicholas Hertzberger, Nicholas Haaibauer or Nicholas Holzberger were with George Fazenbaker (Vesenbecker) during their service. Fazenbaker has been discussed several times on this list. Hertzberger, Nicholas served with Kassel Regt.v.Donop des. June 1781, From Frankenthal Haaibauer, Nikolas from Schwenried (regiment unknown) Hohlbein, Nikolas from Gundersleben (regiment unknown) None of the above are listed in Lion G. Miles list of Prisoners of War in Frederick County, Maryland. Known: Nicholas Holsbury (Americanized) settled on George's Creek (Allegany County, MD) prior to 1787. His wife may have been a daughter of Godfrey Corbus who also settled on George's Creek prior to 1787. George Fazenbaker's wife is presumed to also be a daughter of Godfrey Corbus (unproven). No other records have been found for Godfrey Corbus (Godfried Korbus) than his land warrant at George's Creek. One of his sons was a known loyalist. No earlier record has been found for Holsbury. He was born ca 1753. Birthplace differs by source, Switzerland, PA, Germany. Only other family using Holsbury or deriviative is that of Henry Holsbury (Holsbery) in Barnstable County, Massachusettes. Many of the early settlers of George's Creek came from Loudoun County, Virigina. Records there have been searched for Holsbury and were negative. Does anyone have the regiment numbers for above? Also is there a list showing the locality of the regiments during the various battles? Karen
