Dear Carol, I am forwarding this question of yours to the list and would suggest to search our mail list archives, because at this point in time it is impossible for me to assist as a history teacher. Our subscribers hopefully will give you a hand, they were in the same boat as you at the beginning of their research.

John, Were prisoners released to live within the population after the war? How might I find out what happened to him?

Looking at the name in question, I have a feeling we may be talking about the Hessian soldier Henrich SCHNUECKER who was taken prisoner at Trenton on Christmas 1776, and was listed as a prisoner throughout the war in Hetrina III. He was a soldier with the Hesse-Kassel Regiment v. Knyphausen, 3. Comp. I have not found any other infromation about him, and nobody has asked for him on this list so far. This is just a hunch.
