BlankIn October I was fortunate enough to spend some time going through the Hessian material at Carlisle Barracls new library and the Jos. Schwalm collection at Franklin and Marshall College. The material was immense and fascinating. By going through all the resources I could I was able to discern quite a few names that could well have later become my Dunmire surname. 1.Caspar Dormeyer under capt.v. Lohnusen and Gen. Breyman (Claus Reuter) Captured at Saratoga and served in Charlottesville,Va. and Ft. Loudoun, Winchester ,Va. 2. Fredrick Dormeyer musketeer Prince Fredrich unit obrist. (Smith) Desert in Quebeck, recaptured and supposedly at Saratoga. 3. Christian Dammeyer from Bindheim, musketeer Reg. von Riedesel (Reuter) indentured himself to remain in U.S. 4. Joh. Heinrich Christian Dammeyer a sheperd Ilse, Windham, Westphalia 5. Joh, Heinrich Dammeyer Reg v. Lossvurg co. #3 Neuman (Smith) Lancaster Barracks 6. Heinrich Dammeyer Fusilier under Knyphausen Marburg (Smith) Lancaster Barracks 7. Gotlieb Dommeyer Marburg (Hetrina) 8. John Dommer Jaeger Corps. von Creutzburg (Smith) I have read many of the bibliography books from both Carlisle and Schwalm. I am trying to obtain others including the Dohla, Slagle.. There are some Hist. Soc. material I will try and get copies of (Wildemuth, Tanner, Schaaber and Meiser ).I have ordered Volm, Miles on Winchester Barracks, Kipping and the diaries of Engl...... (sorry, it's late at night). Next I plan on searching each Historical Society and Co. Lib. of the prison locations. Lastly I will begin to read the census from each including 1820.Va.'s loss of early census doesn't help. Early church records should help too. My Dunmire's didn't own land until 1890 so those records are pretty useless to me! Anybody got any more ideas for me? I know the whole Hessian search is a long stretch but some family clues do help make me try and connect the 2 generational gap. Keep up the help. Ann agatha1@flash.net
