Jerry Krieger
will speak on Germans from Russia
The December program
was presented by Sharlene Stoddard. She
talked about the Hessian soldiers who were hired
to fight with the British during the
Revolutionary War. One of her ancestors,
Michael Hickman of Hesse-Hanau, fought with
Major General John Burgoyne in his campaign in
1777. She also talked about Burgoyne’s
campaign which started in Canada in the spring
of 1777 and ended in Oct 1777 with the army’s
surrender at Saratoga, NY. The program
included some information about the Hessians,
the battles and battlefields where they fought,
and a little about Michael’s life after the
surrender. He was one of the German soldiers
who did not return to Germany. All
of the meetings of the NCIGS are free and open
to the public. Anyone who is interested in
history and genealogy is encouraged to attend.
