Dear Nelda and Listers, The SAR contacted Rob Lowe to invite him to join their organization,; so perhaps in honor of John Merz, Nelda could invite Rob Lowe to post his ancestor on the website. I believe the contact could be made through NBC or Ancestry.com/ You can watch the program on the Internet here: http://www.nbc.com/who-do-you-think-you-are/ Jane -----Original Message----- From: Susan King <[email protected]> To: amrev-hessians <[email protected]> Sent: Sat, Apr 28, 2012 10:34 am Subject: Re: [AMREV-HESSIANS] Trenton Old Barracks on TV I didn't get the tease and know ahead of time that Rob Lowe's ancestor was a essian, but it was easy to determine quickly which direction they were eading with the storyline. I was calling out to the TV, "He was a Hessian, ob!" J Also, so pleased (and thinking of John Merz) when the genealogist orrected the idea that they were mercenaries!

I knew that people who financed the revolution were eligible for the DAR, but I was a little surprised that simply the act of paying taxes during the time period qualified his ancestor. I expected that Oest(e) might have joined the 'rebel' army, but this was apparently not the case. I don't know how to search the archives here, but I do know that someone who has posted here has a connection to this particular Hessian.
