Hello Ron Pancner; All my research material about Hessian soldiers who remained in the United States has been deposited with the S.A.R. Library in Louisville, Kentucky. I therefore cannot help you with precise information. If this mail list has nothing more in the list archives, you are probably out of luck. Regards, John Merz.
