Just because I posted this to the AMREV-HESSIANS list, I want to confirm that the Nova Scotia Soldier settler, was the son of Johann Ludwig Wambach and Anna Maria FLAMM, and his birth day was 10.Dec.1757. (This acc. to my book Hessians of Nova Scotia, page 237) John Merz btw. If you had asked me about a Jacob Wambach born 1754/55, I may have had something else. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cliff Thompson" <cfthomp@friend.ly.net> Sent: Tuesday, October 26, 2004 11:00 AM Subject: Re: Prussian soldiers from Hesse-Darmstadt > Hi John, > The list that I have access to is a list of translations of German Church > Records > dating back to 1714 when the vicarage in Biedenkopf burned.

And guess what, there was one from Biedenkopf, but the funny part was, he served with the Anhalt-Zerbst troops. His name was Johann Ludwig WAMBACH, and he was from Biedenkopf-Breidenstein.
