Examples: Johann Bartholomaei on 19 May 1783, Johann Heinrich Fricke in 1783, Andreas Goersch in 1783 (see JSHA Journal 7/1 p.60) Georg Gude, in 1783. etc. (This from Clifford Neal Smith - Brunswick deserters (my S#18) John ----- Original Message ----- From: "RC Brooks" <rcbrooks@pivot.net> To: <AMREV-HESSIANS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, August 08, 2004 11:49 AM Subject: Re: [HESSIAN] Re: Fort George & Germans > John -- > > <<<clip>>> I personally want to mention that several Brunswick deserters > from Penobscot settled in New Brunswick. <<<snip>>> > > Not exactly! > > Dupenack, Hildebrand, and Ritter who drew town lots in St Andrews and farm lots in the sixth division of the Penobscot Association land grants where three of the four men duly discharged on 14 July 1783 at Penobscot by Capt.
