Message Board Post:
John, I have just recently discovered these Hessian mailing lists, and found one of your
messages in which you said that you had put a list of Hessian deserters at Stone ? (have
now forgotten) in a message dated April 24, 2000. I began searching for that but only got
through 400 out of the 2000 posts listed.
My 4th great grandfather was John Casper Losey Sr., born in Germany, and whom I have read
in some of these posts may have been a Hessian soldier who had deserted around 1789. In
looking through these posts and links, I seems to be going around in circles. I would
very much appreciate any information or sources of information about these Hessian
soldiers, and also wonder how to find that post where you listed those who had deserted
from Stone ___ . Maybe my John Casper Losey was not in that list, but I surely would love
to find out about him. Judging from the posts I have read, he has been elusive to other
people too.
