No Hess but some Haas. Could the name have changed? What first name are you looking for? Several Martins p. 14 of the book, p. 75 of Record Book A Hunterdon Co.

Dear Jan, When I just replied, I hadn't noticed that you had forwarded the entries regarding the Martins. Thank you so much; my Hess ancestors used their middle name (Martin) during the time of the Revolution because (we believe) they didn't want to be associated with the Hessian Army that was causing destruction across new Jersey. The John Martin and wife Susannah that you noted as sponsors to the Schmid baby were the baby's grandparents and also my ancestors. Again, thank you very much.
