To any descendants of John Christian Burgess and/or Hannah Newland

I am descended through Johan's son William Burgess on my mother's side. The line continues through William Burgess Jr., Harrison Joseph Burgess, Issac Henry Burgess, Philip Hammond Burgess. Philip is my Great Grandfather.
Johan Burgess was originally Johan Christian Borries. A German Mercenary who defected and married Hannah Newland. I have several links verifying this and would be happy to share them. If you have questions please email [email protected].
My Family has a very good idea of what town Johan was originally from Bad Schwalbach in Germany. We are currently trying to locate his records there. If you have any other information we don't have please let us know.
Please take a look at these links, I hope they help I know these links can be extremely valuable to you.
