Hi, How does one look up a Germanic Soldier who did not stay here? Johannes Ziegler, b. Abt Oct 1739, Grossropperhausen, Cassel, Germany died 30 Jan 1825, Grossropperhausen, Cassel, Germany his occupation was a soldier, he married a Bonnstein relative Martha Elisabeth (Bon-1a) /Bonstein/ in 1766 He may have served in the French Indian War instead, looking at his age in 1776-1739= 37, but he was a carrier soldier. SO?? Thanks Nelda Nelda L.
