To all my Hessian researchers on this AMREV-HESSIANS list: A subject has been brought up between researchers of the American Revolution, and it seems some difference of opinions arose. Myself, as much as I would like to help, am so busy preparing my research material for transfer to the S.A.R. and I am practically at this point in time, out of the loop! Soon will give up this list as well. Please help those fellows with some facts, thank you, John Helmut Merz - determined to retire. http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl?list=amrev-hessians ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Merz" <hessian@sympatico.ca> To: "Barry Wetherington" <cbarrfly@comcast.net>; Sent: Friday, August 13, 2004 10:54 AM Subject: Re: Von Heer Troop > Dear Barry, > > I have seen a number of e-mails come into my in-box in respect to > this issue. > > Unfortunately due to the fact that I am preparing for a big event > (big for me and the Hessians of Marysburg, Ontario) which takes > place next Saturday, 21.
