1) Who had to take the Oath of Allegiance in 1782 in Philadelphia? Would all former Hessian soldiers have to take such an Oath? 2) Is Hetrina on-line? I've looked for printed version at one genealogy library so far, but to no avail. 3) Was some kind of naturalization process required of Hessians who chose to stay in this country after the Revolution? Still looking for a Kleinschmidt turned Smith. Know about two such folks now: Lieutenant (or Ensign) Carl Wilhelm Kleinschmidt and Quartermaster Friedrich Jacob Kleinschmidt. Any ideas where Carl Kleinschmidt settled after the war? Thanks for any help. What a knowledgable bunch you are!
