known that I know of, I would be interested in any positive responses that you get. FYI, I read just this week an article in American Heritage which stated that out of the 15,000 Hessians that served, it is estimated that 23% stayed in the US (an internet site below gives different figures).

Here is an online book about Hessian service. http://www.americanrevolution.org/hessindex.html

Here is a Hessian resource page which has some Hessians listed on it (and gives different figures on the numbers that served:

good luck.

Are there any Hunterdon records of the Hessians who fought with the British in the Rev. War and later settled there?
