I don’t think Jason would have ever found out about his ancestor Chrétien Lemaire.
Jason is related to Exeurie Myers who died in 1931 and he probably never knew the story of his great-grandfather, a rifleman in the Hesse-Hanau Jäger Corps, who deserted his regiment at the battle of Wahab’s Plantation or later in the battle of Charlotte in September 1780.
Very few people knew this, and I am probably the only one.
This is another reason I write so much about your ancestors.
Well wrote so much…
I will see you next Monday.
Thanks for correcting the typo – I knew it didn’t look right, (and sometimes my own handwriting is hard to read in my notes – the records are difficult to read as well) but the computer didn’t notice either – Thanks.
I knew the name. I just got curious and checked.
As a freelance translator, that’s my job to check and double-check, and triple-check.
Nice post, but you already know that.
Over the past year, I have depended on you for so much – Thank you.
That’s what friends are for…
That song gave me goose bumps, and still does.
Now you REALLY did me in! And sincerely – right back atcha!!
We never know when our little words will be just the thing that someone needs. Thank you for continuing to write!
Thank you for conituing to read and to comment.
Always nice to get a feedback once and awhile.
You don’t have to comment all the time. I know you are there.

P.S. Jason has agreed to let me post his old pictures. So this will be more than just posts about “dead people”.
Much more.
Intéressant. Que sait-on sur la localité d’origine de ce grand-père carabinier du Hesse Hanau Regiment?
