Hello List, I am seeking information on a possible Hessian soldier. I have very little information on him. Family traditions says that the family came from a Hessian soldier. The name is Carbaugh today, but suppossly it was spelled with a "K" during the revolutionary war, so it would have been Karbaugh or Kerbaugh with no known first name. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Jimmy Bible

Eh, Jimmy, my research files are at the S.A.R. Library in Louisville, KY, so I am just guessing - it's either the Ansbach soldier Christian Kaesebauer, or the Hesse-Kassel Regt. Rall soldier Martin Karsbach. Check the mail list archives for either of these names. Regards John Merz ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bible, Jimmie L.

Although I cannot establish the fact that this family descends from a Hessian soldier, I have some interesting facts concerning this name, as connected to another descendant from a Hessian soldier. The Johannes Caspar Losee/Losey, who is believed to be a Hessian deserter, who settled in the Sussex County, NJ, had a son, Johann George Losey, who had a daughter, named Sarah Carsbaugh Losey/Locy. I have been unable to find any family connection to the Carsbaughs, but obviously there had to be. After deserting, the originator of this Losey family hid in the area of Stillwater with other deserters, among the earlier German settlers, deciding to make his home here. This area was strongly German prior to the Revolution. Hope this helps in some way. What area is the name Carsbaugh you refer to found? It would be interesting to persue this.
