The Library of Congress has George Washington's Papers on line and I have an order he signed Oct. 24, 1781, right after the Battle of Yorktown. He wrote..... Winchester Artillery 193 Cuards 467 23rd Regiment 205 43rd 307 2 Battalion of Anspach 948 Queens Rangers 248 Pioneers 33 2924 Fort Frederick Light Infantry 594 17th Regiment 205 33rd 225 71st 242 80th 588 Prince Hereditary 425 Reg't De Bose 271 Yagers 68 Scottish Legion 192 North Carolina Volunteers 114 2924 "To the Commissary General of Prisoners, You are to dispose of the Prisoners as above" Camp near York 25 Oct 1781 G. Washington I have wondered too about a list of prisoners from Fort Frederick. Everything I have read in the research of my ancestor, who served in the Prince Hereditary (Erbprinz) Regiment, indicates that this regiment went to Winchester enroute, then on to Fredericktowne, Maryland. It is my belief that there was some confusion about the term Fort Frederick. Some feel that the prisoners who were routed to Fort Frederick (Washington County) were sent there for reasons of economy (ie. cost to feed them enroute?) or it was closer from Winchester than the Barracks in Frederick County, MD. It would seem that there were prisoners at Ft. Frederick, but I've not ready anything detailed about it yet. I will ask on another list I belong to. In the meantime, I have these Notes: From A Hessian Diary of the American Revolution by Johann Conrad Dohla, translated by Bruce E. Burgoyne, I have these notes ........ Johann Conrad Dohla was part of the Anspach-Bayreuth Regiment. Lord Cornwallis surrendered October 19, 1781. The troops were marched north, Six Hundred "Englanders" are already in captivity at Fredericksburg. November 2nd, part of the captive troops, Scots and English were escorted to Fort Frederick in Maryland. Also Hereditary Prince and Bose Regiments were separated from the others. Anspach-Bayreuth Reg't and others continued to the Fairfax, VA courthouse, then on to the New Frederick Barracks near Winchester, VA. January 26, 1782, All captive troops held at Winchester, VA were sent to Frederick, Maryland. He mentions marching through Shepherstown, Sharpsburg, Middletown and on to Frederick. In February, all the English prisoners were sent to Lancaster, PA. Cindy Hoffman

Greetings. Your 18 February Hessians message very interesting. A family member, Adam Butner Jr., a Loyalist and member of Capt. Hunter's North Carolina Volunteers, was captured with Corwallis. Is there an available roster or method of verification I can use to followup for more information?

Joe - In the Rice book I mentioned in recent days I found a reference to BUTTNER In the August 1750 Court records for Frederick County is this information: p. 49 "The Grand Jurors present Micajah Plummer for stealing a colt belonging to Adam Buttner on the information of Joshua Barton, John Carmack, John Martin, Jr., William Beatty, Catherine Buttner, Anna Buttner, James Buttner, Jeremiah Elroade, Benjamin Barton, Leah Buttner, Adam Buttner and Martha Buttner."
