Dear Hans and Gunter, Thank you so much for taking the time to do the look-up for me.  It is interesting to learn that the places of origin in Reiser’s work only come from W&K and the early church book records.  I find that some of the settlers on the 1774 list are never mentioned in the early churchbook records, and I wondered if the settler himself told the person who created the list where he came from, as was done in a census.  Now I know the information came from W&K.  So, I am back to square one.  It is hard for me to believe that there is no record - even a military one - showing Leonhard’s assignment to Mercydorf.  Looking through a 100 rolls of military microfilm for a Seven Years War enlistment record without so much as a clue is too daunting a task. Thank you, again, for your responses. Cathy Teufel O'Neill
