Dear William, you are lucky that I still have the monograph here in front of me, but in about 3 weeks It will be with the SAR Library in Louisville> February 1781was not a busy desertion month - the monograph lists only 28 desertions from Hessian regiments (others like Brunswickers are nit covered) - yourMehlmann was from the 5. Company of the Bose Regt. Other Bose desertions in same month: Degenhardt, Christoph 4.Comp. Fischer, Johannes 4.Comp. August von Heine 3. Comp. Henning, Adam 2. Comp. Hermann, Gottlob 2. Comp. Koch, Heinrich 5. Comp. Kohler, Bernhard 1. Comp. Lahr, Konrad 2. Comp. Ley, Johannes 3. Comp. Mehlmann, Andreas 5.Comp. Mueller, Benedict 3. Comp. Schneeberger, Christoph 3. Comp. Sehm, Jacob 5.Comp. Siegener, Franz 2. Comp. Stadelmann, Johannes 3. Comp. Steinbruecker, Reinhard 4. Comp. Stumm, Christian 1. Comp. Troenner, Andreas 4. Comp. Total 18 men from the Bose Regiment. The Hessen-Kassel Regiment von Bose was involved in the Battle of Guilford Courthouse which took place March 15, 1781, those desertions must have taken place prior to the march towards Guilford Courthouse in North Carolina.
