Hessian soldier Kleinschmidt/Smith
Who knows of a Hessian soldier named Kleinschmidt who was captured, possibly helped train American soldiers, eventually deserted, changed his name to Smith, and made his home in this country?He had a son or grandson named Samuel C. Smith, whose story we pick up in PA.But we don't know the Hessian's first names, where he lived after the war, who he married, etc.Can anyone help?
