Hello, Fellow Listers! I seek any & all information about Conrad Bott b bet 1753-1754 probably in Melsungen, Hesse, Germany & d. 1832 in/near Wayne Twp, Pickaway Co, OH. Married to a former English army cook, had at least 6 children. Her name not known. I descend from his son Lawrence Butt. All the children carry the name Butt yet his will shows his signature and it is clearly Conrad Bott. He was a Hessian soldier who switched sides and then stayed in America after the war. Deserted with at least one other soldier who apparantly accompanied him westward. Russ Ehler
