A roadside Historical Marker was recently placed near the site of the Albemarle Barracks near Charlottesville, VA. Here is the link to a photo and information. Ed Rinaca http://www.markerhistory.com/convention-army-the-barracks-w-166/
Ed, Thanks for sharing this. I've forwarded it to several of my kinfolks. For some, it will be a tangible reminder, as well as a short and sweet explanation, of the circumstances surrounding the founding of our family in America by a Braunschweig soldier, Levy Derrow/Levin Doerges/Johann Levien Doerries.

P.S. My only complaint: I wish they had used "auxiliary soldiers" (as Clifford Neal Smith did) instead of "mercenaries." It perpetuates the myth. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Derrow" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2012 9:49 AM Subject: Re: [AMREV-HESSIANS] New Roadside Historical Marker-AlbemarleBarracks > Ed, > > Thanks for sharing this.
