Listers: As you have probably seen on here lately, I have been trying to track down one John Lutsey(Johann Lutzig?). He doesn't appear in Hetrina. I wrote to PA and National Archives. According to their records, he did not receive Bounty or Depreciation Land in PA, although it was mentioned by family oral tradition as such, and made its way to print in a family history without verifiable documentation. "Supposedly" he was a Hessian and deserted to join Continental Line. In print he was even a Col! How do I find a possible record as a possible German fighting directly for the British and not part of a Hessian unit, hence not showing up on Hetrina? I was thinking of checking Filby immigration records, but am unsure if military would appear. Many thanks! I have been learning so very much. Edward Quinter Allentown PA

Dear Edward Quinter; In a previous answer to your question I advised you to look at the Rootsweb Message Boards, in particular for the one named LUTSEY. At the time I checked that board, there was only one entry, and I said in order to get answers to use that board for your search. Checking today, there was one more message on it, but that one was not from you, it was from somebody else. So may I ask you why your message is not on that board? If you are seriously searching, you turn every stone and use every avenue open to you. The new message put on by somebody else, incidentily does mention your Hessian, at least you know that someone else is looking for answers too. BTW, have you looked for the name LUETZE? End of my sermon, cheers John Merz. ----- Original Message ----- From: <ELQuinter@aol.com> Sent: Monday, July 18, 2005 1:03 PM Subject: Re: [HESSIAN] Marburg, etc. - go for mail list archives. > Listers: > As you have probably seen on here lately, I have been trying to track down > one John Lutsey(Johann Lutzig?). > He doesn't appear in Hetrina.

I know personally that at least some "Hessian" soldiers appear in Filby's. Maybe even all of them do. ----- Original Message ----- From: <ELQuinter@aol.com> To: <AMREV-HESSIANS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, July 18, 2005 12:03 PM Subject: Re: [HESSIAN] Marburg, etc. - go for mail list archives. > Listers: > As you have probably seen on here lately, I have been trying to track down > one John Lutsey(Johann Lutzig?). > He doesn't appear in Hetrina.
