Can any tell me if they have read anything about prisoners at Fort Frederick in Washington County, Maryland- close to Hagerstown. This is, of course, different from the Barracks in Fredericktowne, Maryland OR the prison barracks in Winchester, Frederick County, Virginia. Cindy Hoffman

There is an article in Volume 28, #4, Fall 1987 of the Maryland Genealogical Society Bulletin entitled "After Yorktown, Hessian Regiment VonBose by Lion G. Miles that shows the strength of the Regiment on 19 October 1781 and the losses occuing during the period to 28 May 1783. This article lists the surname only. I would believe that this periodical is available at most larger libraries. Karen

Miles was the past historian of the JSHA and was a very thorough historian. At one time he was co-writing the definitive history of the Battle of Bennington; however, with the death of his co-author, he lost interest and now concentrates on Native Americans. In the George Washington Papers at the Library of Congress is a copy of Geo: Washingtion's order to Abraham Skinner, Commissary General of Presioners, re: the dispostion of the POWs taken at Yorktown. From the "Regt De Bose" 271 members were assigned to be incarcerated at Fort Frederick. http://memory.loc.gov/mss/mgw/mgw4/081/0800/0803.jpg Note that Washington sent them to Fort Frederick and not to Frederick MD as is commonly assumed. > This article lists the surname only. The Regiment von Trümbach/Regiment von Bose is covered in HETRINA II. The full names should be determinable by comparing surnames with the full names (etc.) in HETRINA II. Bob Brooks
