Hessian soldiers in the American Revolution

Drylands Cemetery Northampton County, PA

I have never been here but what I see is three stones, one large two small. The stones seem to have writing on each side.

Some pictures were donated to my personal site by Barbara, some by Tanya a Bonstein cousin and more were donated to Our Hessian website by Robert.

Robert stated the tombstones were taken to the dump.. How horrible not only did several of us lose our personal history but so did our nation. Hessian ancestors are as much of the American History as all the battle sites...

Although this tombstone is not a Hessian's tombstone; it shows you a likeness of what a tombstone of that era would be like.

This tombstone picture is of Robert A. Fetters' Schall relative who was not a Hessian. This tombstone sat in Drylands Cemetery too.

Thank you Robert, for pointing out pictures of the cemetery would be nice here, and to Barbara and Tanya and you for donating them to make the site better.
