I don't know, personally, of anyone who has researched the Hessian soliders who were, first, prisoners-of-war in Frederick County, and then decided [either during or just after the Revolutionary War] to become citizens in the new United States of America. I believe that many of them finally lived in Bachman Valley, in the upper northeast part of old Frederick County. Today, that is in Carroll County, MD. Someone at the Carroll County Historical Society said that the names, at least, of some of them are listed in one of the Frederick County publications. My family lived near them but was not one of those families. I believe that there is a Lutheran Church in Bachman Valley that was founded or attended by the former soldiers. I think many married the daughters of families in the area or, perhaps, in some instances, made arrangements for their own families to come to the area.. It would be a fascinating bit of American history..good luck.

Dear Liat, I have a copy of the book The German Regiment of Maryland and Pennsylvania in the Contiental Army 1776-1781 by Henry J. Retzer. If someone would like a look up. Helen

Thanks for replying.. I am looking for my ancestor Johann Sebastion Schuechen, name became early on Sebastion Shehan. He was in what is now Nelson Co. KY (then VA) by 1788 when thre were still some Indian raids. There is a Hessian soldier with that exact name so.. wondering.. The Ambrose family of Frederick Co. MD settled in the "Germantown" area near present day Bardstown, Nelson Co. KY in the same time frame as my Sebastion Shehan. However.. there is also in one of the PA Newspaper where in 1786 a Jacob Fisher, school teachers of Berks Co.PA is inquiring of the whereabouts of Johanne Sebastion Schuechen... and Jacob Duch...... They left Amsterdam on such and such a date came from etc.. great information if.. this is definitely my Sebastion. There is no question of the name of my ancestor.. Johann Sebastion Schuechen.. Enough.
