Don't the names (Riedesel and Specht) included in the "Anhalt Zerbst" entry look like those associated with the Braunschweig troops? I've looked at Braunschweig records at Clemens, but don't seem them listed.

Hello Bill, and Karen: General Riedesel was the commanding officer of all German auxiliary troops in Canada, which included the Anhalt-Zerbst Regiment as well as the Braunschweiger (Brunswicker) and Hessen-Hanau troops. The Brunswick troops included a Regt. v. Riedesel and a Regt. v. Specht, plus others. The Clements Library does have the Muster Rolls of those troops mentioned, plus some Hessen-Kassel troops stationed in the American colonies.
