The name of my ancestor was William Palaline as has been researched. My uncle told me he was a Hessian soldier that was recruited for King George of England. He was born in 1715 and died in 1819. I believe his name was originally Palatine, and either changed the spelling, or if a tombstone was found, the line crossing the "t" in Palatine was worn off over the years. My uncle said his name is on the Valley Forge records for the Revolutionary War. He had a son, John, born September 13, 1765. There is also a name on the family tree Jacob Fronica born 1764. I would appreciate it if you could send me any information. This is all the information I have from the time of the Revolutionary War. Thank You, Joy Stevenson jars7@bellsouth.net
