Hi! I live right outside of Hagerstown and I also have never heard of a POW prison. I have a small book about the prison in Frederick which is about 25 miles from Hagerstown. I could be wrong though about Hagerstown. ...........Larry *********************************************** On Thu, 17 Feb 2005 15:16:35 -0400 "gordon crooks" <glcrooks@bcpl.net> writes: > Karen: Did you hear anything on the Hagerstown Prison??

Larry: I was going to contact you about that direct. What do you have about the Frederick one, there again I have never heard of a prison camp from that era being there.

Are these references to Hessian prisoners during the Rev. War? I think we had a discussion about that a year or so ago, but I didn't keep any of the messages because I don't research that particular background. It seems to me there was a web site or a publication of some sort mentioned. Perhaps the listserv managers can tell you how to do a search for that information on the Roots-web site.
