Hello Hessians, hello Blake A. Bell, Deputy Town Historian of the Town of Pelham; hello Ed Maul; I want to come back to your posting of 12. July 2004 in respect to the 'Hessian Burials in Sand Pit' and after this title you did mention some names like Euler, Roth, Grein, Schaef, Juppert. You also mentioned an article by David Osborne in the Westchester Historian, Vol.80, No.1, pages 4-11 (Winter 2004) "Who were the Hessians" and I now realize that the names you quoted were those of five soldiers of the Hessen-Kassel Regiment von Knyphausen. The first four I was able to confirm in the files of Hetrina III, the last one Ludwig Juppert, is not listed, but I have a JYPFERT, no first name who was listed in same Hetrina volume, soldier of the Landgraf Regt., wounded at same time as the others. Perhaps that's him. However, what I really wanted to ask, this monument behind the church, you gave us a picture of it, does it still stand? Is it still there? And if so, could a descendant of a Hessian soldier, or a group of descendants, donate a 'Hessian Soldier' plaque and place it at the monument with a small ceremony? I am sure our subscriber Ed Maul would be a willing participant, and even yourself, being a descendant of one Hessian who got away to tell his story. I would love to read about such an event, and I am looking forward to your responses. Respectfully John Helmut Merz, (btw. if someone could make a copy of the pages 4-11 and mail to me, that would be most appreciated)
