Does anyone know if non citizens were not registered for the draft. I am going crazy trying to find the brothers of my g grandfather Peter Scherrer, from Hesse Darmstadt, I can find Peter's family and all of their children's marriages, etc, but I know the names of some brothers who had a funeral business in the middle to late 1800's and I cannot find them on census records, military, all immigration dates don't fit- I am wondering, if since the Hessians were just picked off the street by the Duke, and they escaped to NYC and other places to avoid it, if they just laid low in this country. This is the most confusing family I have tried to figure out. They are in the city directory but finding them on any other record is zero. I have an Adam and a John Adam and I am not quite sure if they are different or one in the same. Sue
