My ancestry descends from Conrad, another of George's children. So no connection to Jacob. What interests me however is the following web page: http://midatlantic.rootsweb.ancestry.com/MD/garrett/revwarvets.html This lists George Fazenbaker as a Revolutionary War veteran.

It is not clear whether he was captured by the Americans or if he deserted. I am not aware of any evidence that shows that he affiliated with the Revolutionaries. Of George's nine children, the eldest, Jacob Fazenbaker, married a daughter of an American Revolutionary War veteran, Daniel Reckner.

It appears that descendant Oscar Fazenbaker, provided this information: "GEORGE FAZENBAKER -Was from Hesse-Castle, Germany. Was a Hessian soldier hired by the British from the King of Prussia to fight the American colonists. He was captured at Trenton, NJ by the American soldiers, sometime in the 1770's. He then fought with General Washington against the British. He is buried on the Ezra Michael's farm in Garrett County (Aaron Run Road) near Barton. (Told by Oscar Fazenbaker, who is the fifth generation from Geo. Fazenbaker).Grave is unmarked." You might also want to check with the Garrett County Historical Society, Oakland, MD 301-334-3226, as I believe a list of Revolutionary Soldiers was printed in their publication "Glade Star'. They "might" be able to provide more information as to the source of this information. I don't have the Glade Star publication in front of me at the moment and I am not sure that list included George Fazenbaker. You might also want to check with the owner of this site (Hart Family); perhaps they have additional notes that might help you with your search. I have no connection to the Fazenbaker family. -----Original Message----- From: mdgarret-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:mdgarret-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Peter Kilcullen Sent: Tuesday, November 24, 2009 9:58 AM To: mdgarret@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [MDGARRET] FAZENBAKER, George My ancestry descends from Conrad, another of George's children.
