I`ve found that a George Mason and Jacob Frank were taken prisoners at the same time that
John Catt was. If anyone is researching John Catt`s Revolutionary War service, please be
on the outlook for these two men. A Jacob Fank was b. 1754 in Hochdorf and came to
America after 1761. Hochdorf is where Michael Katz was born. I would like to know more
of this Jacob Frank in the Rev. War and taken prisoner at the same time John Catt was. He
might be the same as the one from Hochdorf. George Mason is most likely a relative of
John Catt's wife. Mason was Maurer according to Hand Jones research on the
1709ers--the Palatines that came to America in 1710.
