research in Canada
and or Nova Scotia (I think)
S#124: Ira Maxwell
Sutherland, Thesis "Hessians in Annapolis County, May 1956. S#126:
Ira Maxwell Sutherland, Thesis : Clements Township, its history and its
people" Both Sources were submitted in partial fulfillment of the
requirements for a degree of B.A. with honors in history - May 1956 to the
Acadia University, Nova Scotia.
NOTE: In 1994 John
wrote the book "The Hessians of Nova Scotia", which is still
available from the Marilyn Adams Genealogical Association. In it I used
the Source above extensively. To be honest, there are hundreds of copies
of my book in all kind of Archives, Libraries and Historical and
Genealogical Societies, and it has much much more then the Thesis .see his
book listed under John Merz's research.
4.)
"Major General Riedesel's Memoirs, Letters and Journals"
by ??
two volume set of
books.
note from John...
Btw, if you check
our archives for the name of Riedesel, you'll find a treasure trove of
information. Actually a Hessian, he was the commander of the Brunswick
troops, and later the commander of all German troops in Canada during the
American Revolution. Now don't you misspell his name - it is Riedesel, not
Reidesel. Cheers, John Merz
