Eddie, I am greatly appreciating your history information. Do you know of any resources that cover the topic of the Hessian soldiers who settled in Virginia after fighting for the British in the Revolutionary War? My ggggrandfather John Jacob MILLER, according to family lore, was such a soldier settling the the area which later became Scott County. Since Scott was formed of portions from several other counties, I have found it difficult to find much information--especially with a name like John Jacob MILLER. There must be a million of them. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Arless aeilerts@southwind.net
