We have a copy of our family tree traced back to the Revolutionary War by a local historian in westmoreland county Pa. My ancestor was a Hessian soldier, captured at the battle of Trent. Was a POW when the war ended he was offered a land grant in then called Allegheny county which was all of Western Penna. then and indian country. Theory was the Hessians, being professional soldiers would kill off the indians, but in the process be mostly killed off by the indians and the English could move in and take over a land free of indian danger. My ancestor survived and for a couple hundred years most of my family lived in and around Greensburg, Pa. Local cemetery there filled with relatives. jdn
