Carolyn, I don't have the answer for you, but the 1815 Tanesse map of New Orleans shows the hospital on Rue de l'Hôpital as the letter "L." In the lower corner of the map the hospital (letter "L") is pictured and identified as "Hopital de Charite const[ruit] en 1815." The map can be found here: http://freepages.history.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~neworleans/neworleans_maps/2_maps_loc_ua.html But apparently it is not THE Charity Hospital. See the Wikipedia article here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charity_Hospital I don't find any help in Chase's FRENCHMEN, DESIRE, GOOD CHILDREN. Hope this helps a bit. Have you tried the HNOC?

Barney The Hessians were known for being soldiers for hire. They were in the revolutionary war in the U.S.. Possibly the Hessians were for hire by Austria before he came to the U.S. or by one side or the other in the Civil War. At the time he was living there was no unified "Germany". There were separate states such as Hesse, Baden, Prussia, etc. Try looking online for old Hessian uniforms or the uniforms they were wearing in the revolutionary war to see if some of the symbols are close. Gene

It is definitely a German "styled" uniform, but the Germans told me it was not one of theirs. Also, as he came from Germany and not Prussia, I would say that is ruled out.
