I found the following passage in the Blue Book of Schuylkill County (Pennsylvania) which was printed in 1897.
"William Grieff was born in the Rhenish Palatinate, Zweibruck. He came to this county with the soldiers for the British crown. He was in the battle of Trenton, where he was taken prisoner and confined in the prison pen at Reading for an entire winter, suffering untold hardship. Like many of these unfortunates, he was not a free agent in the matter but was pressed into the service of the King. He came to Schuylkill County before its erection and made a most exemplary citizen. He served as steward of the almshouse for nine years, and filled other offices of trust."
Does anyone have any information about this Hessian soldier?
This researcher mentions the same book. So this is William and these are his dependents.
