------$10$Dana Stephenson 12/14/2002 Hello Everett! Nice to hear from you. You can see the geneology information I have at http://www.dana-web.com, then click on Dana's Family Vine. It looks like you, your father, and your brother are already in there! My great-great-great-grandfather is your great-great-grandfather -- George Wesley Spees, so we are 3rd cousins, once-removed. How do you do! You are certainly welcome to review what I have online, however I cannot send it to you in any format like Gedcom because I wrote my own custom database and Web application (which is the type of thing I do for a living, and I put this together years ago when I was learning some of the techniques). It sounds like you have some fascinating information, I would love to see it! --------$20$EKS 12/18
Dear John Merz and
Minerva Howard:
Hello, I guess you are looking for the Hesse-Kassel soldierFriedrich SPIES of the Regiment Erbprinz, 3. Comp. who probablywas taken prisoner at Yorktown, Virginia in Oct 1781, kept a POWat Frederick, Maryland, and on the march to New York in May 1783deserted from the troops. He was not a defector as described, hestuck with his comrades up to the time the return of the Regiment toGermany was planned. That was the time for him to make a decision.(Hetrina III#14146/47)Just to help you out,Cheers,John Merz.listowner - AMREV-HESSIANS-L@rootsweb.com<minervahoward@mindspring.com>> Subject: [GERMANNA] Frederick Spees>> I am looking for the war record of Frederick Spees who was> born 1757 in Schwebda, Hessen Kassel, Hessen Germany.He came to the States as a Hessian> soldier but defected and fought for the Colonies.

I have been doing some more sleuthing
about genealogy of our forbear, Pvt. Friedrich (Jon/Johannes) Spies (Spees)(Born
1763), Hesse Cassel Erdprinz Regiment, 3. comp., taken prisoner by Washington's
forces at Yorktown, VA, October, 1781, at age 18. He was imprisoned in a POW
camp in Frederick, MD, and as his regiment was marched toward New York for
repatriation, he deserted and made a new life, of which we are heir.

Dear Jim: I just received this interesting
communication from a member of the "other" spees family tree (their Spies/Spees
progenitor was from Alsace pre-Revolutionary War.) I have recently (after my
brother Bill sent me some hot clues) been connecting with other Internet special
interest groups who are tracing Hessian soldiers who stayed in America after the
Revolutionary War.
----$100$Stephen Spees 12/26/2002 The date is 1836, and the copy I have is a Xerox copy. I am from Tulsa, where
my parents still live today. On or before 1969-71, the bible was in possesion of
a Griffin family, who attended the United Methodist Church on Boulder in Tulsa.
My parents and I heard about it and I asked for copies of the front entries. My
parents have been contacted in the past several times.
----$110$Jeretta Spees Followell 12/26/2002 Dear Everett Have been enjoying reading & printing out your info & e-mail on the Spees lines all afternoon. As usual when something new is added I have problems. Enjoying all the info,that you sent,thanks so much. Was so suprised and happy to hear from you. Hope I empted everything I needed so I can receive more great info from you. I now have Yahoo and Paducah On Line, so I think this is causing some problems and confusion. Looking forward to sharing lots of Spees data, pictures etc with you. Love Jerretta ----$120$EKS 12/28/2002 (family tree already has its own page. Bill) Hi: Here, courtesy of Tina and Jeretta Spees Followell, is the genealogy of the main "other" Spees family whose forbears arrived in America in the early 1700's, and from whom Stephen Spees, who recently wrote me, is descended. They were fighting on the American side during the Revolutionary War. This aids in sorting out genealogy information on the Internet. Happy New Year. Everett ----$130$from EKS 12/28/2002 (to Bill) I was thinking of rewriting or making
addenda in Dad's first autobiography chapter to incorporate the updates, as well
as perhaps some entries from Doy's autobiography. Also Jeretta is planning to
review the photos she has. She already shared a lot of them with Dad, and that
is likely be where our best old ones on the ekssr.tripod came from. There may
not be significant others. She has seen the original photo of J.C. Spees that
was on the cover of the Spees Tribe booklet of 1912. ----$140$From EKS 12/28/2002 (to Bill) I thought your eulogy
was great. Why don't you put that on the 'ekssr.tripod' site too.
Will try to find
it. Bill > According to family information <CLIP> were said to be from "Schwedba Hessel, Hessie Cattle, Hessen, Germany." Those terms do not seem to be current. Perhaps some of the 18th century term represents a parish? Do you have any suggestions about possible name evolutions, and if so what the modern area or town designation(s) would be? I suspect that "Schwedba Hessel, Hessie Cattle, Hessen, Germany" is more of a corrupted transcription than a placename change. "Hessie Cattle" doubtless is "Hesse Cassle" or more correctly "Hesse Cassel" today's "Kassel." "Schwedba" is probably a typographical error for "Schwebda" as HETRINA III says Friedrich Spies (ERB3) was from "Schwebda." By the way, HETRINA III also lists Heinrich Spies (ERB3; b. ca. 1753-54) as also coming from Schwebda.. Friedrich is coded as as deserter/POW on May 1783. The Regiment Erbprinz capitulated at Yorktown in Oct 1781 and were interred at Frederick MD. The May 1783 entry suggests he decided to remain in America when the POWs were repatriated. Heinrich is listed as deserting in April 1781. There still is a village of Schwebda on the Werra River in Hessen about 15-20 miles ESE of Kassel on highway 249. http://www.mapquest.com/maps/main.adp?countrycode=88 Put "Schwedba" in the "City" block (and leave everything else blank) and click "Get Map". On the map screen click "Big Map" at the upper right corner of the map, then at the next screen zoom in. Bob Brooks ----$160$Bonnie Weisel 12/30/2002 [bonnie@psl.wisc.edu] I think it unlikely the two Conrad Spiess are identical, but possible they are descended somewhere back in time. Also Adolph was not a name used in the parish registers I searched for my Weisels. Hesse Cassel / Kassel is a state with thousands of villages / parishes located in the northern 1/3 of Hesse. My families came from an area not far south of what was formerly Hesse Cassel. You can search the HESSE-L archives at rootsweb.com for MANY queries/replies about Hesse Cassel. You should be able to find your Conrad Spiess ancestor from the "Hetrina" and John Merz. Have you pursued this path? I include some extracts from searching google for hetrina and merz. I would suggest you subscribe to the AMREV-HESSIANS-L list. Once you find the village/parish it is very likely the church records have been filmed and can be requested from a LDS FHL. Good luck and let me know where you find your Conrad. Bonnie Weisel Madison, WI

That'll give us a chance to search for it. Besides - Hetrina is not the only source, because it covers only soldiers serving with Hessian Regiments, and not the Brunswickers, Ansbach-Bayreuthers or Anhalt-Zerbst. Cheers, John Merz
Susan - You can find a complete list of the Hessians who served in America during the Revolutionary War in the HETRINA program, the printout in three volumes of a project that was done by Germans honoring the American bicentennial in 1976. It lists Hessian soldiers by name and military unit and gives their town of origin. It seems that not many people know about HETRINA, but it is in regional depositories like the Pennsylvania Genealogical Society at 1300 Locust Street in Philadelphia. Using it I made the connection between my first ancestor in the US and his origins in Schorbach, Hessen-Cassel. A search of the Protestant Reformed Church's records there gave me his date of birth and the names and dates of his father, mother and two grandfathers.

Spees, MD ----$170$EKS 12/30/2002 (to Mary Syphus) Dear Mary: Jeretta Followell gave me your email address. I am Everett Spees (Jr.). Dad died in 1996, however Jeretta thinks he corresponded with you in the past in his genealogy quest. I was always at his elbow in the genealogy interest, and have been pleased this year to be able to acquire more valid information to flesh out my FTW program genealogy. The John Metz Hessian soldier Internet site has been especially helpful. Jeretta has provided me with some interesting data recently and mentioned your contributions to her work. My big interest right now is in learning about our forbear Friedrich, or Johan Friederick Spies, since that has always been the vague area for me. Jeretta told me that you have some documentation about him and his family in Schwabda, as well as a local contact person there who might be able to provide some information. I would be most interested to know what you have. I just learned that HETRINA vol 3 also lists a Heinrich Spies from Schwebda as another Hessian soldier from Schwebda who was in the Revolutionary War and deserted the same Erbprinz regiment in 1781. I do not know what his relationship might be to our forbear, and I have not been able to discover what happened to him, although his name may have been phonetically spelled some other way, or perhaps he had another given name plus the Heinrich. Also he could have died or remained a bachelor I guess. I have run across many spellings of the name that are not explained. There are also some Spiess families from nearby Hessen locations in some of the Internet family tree listings, but I don't know where they fit in, if at all. It appears that people with similar names lived in several locations around Kassel. I am curious about the history of Schwebda and what has happened to it up to the present. In 1946-47 our family was in Erlangen (near Nuremberg), not far from Schwebda during my father's assignment in the US Army of Occupation, however at that time we did not know that Schwebda existed or had any relationship to our family history, so we never visited there. Also I assume that our forbear and his family were Lutheran or some other evangelical faith. What do we know about those matters. I believe they were Methodists after coming to the US. I also am vague about some of Friedrich's grandchildren and their progeny. I will be glad to share my part of the Spees line down from Walter L. Spees, my grandfather. For example, I could send my genealogy in GEDCOM format if you wish. I believe it has over 500 names currently. I would love to add your branch of the family to my genealogy. I have been corresponding with Helen Spees, and she sent me many records her husband had kept from J. C. Spees's writings. I heard that there was a photo of J. C. Spees from which the image on the Spees Tribe pamphlet was taken. I would love to get a good copy of that photo as well as any other family photos to put on our family web site. If you are interested, we have our "old folks" photo collection there at http://ekssr.tripod.com. Also do you know about the genealogy at dana@video-tech.com? It is quite interesting, a program written by a young Spees descendent (woman). Also I have found Friedrick's regimental battle flag (in full color) on the Internet, as well as many articles about Hessian soldiers, and Hessian military uniforms and tactics, etc. Happy New Year. Everett K. Spees, MD ----$180$Mary Syphys 12/30/2002 msyphus@infowest.com Will be excited to correspond with you. I have a great deal of data but not much about Schwabda. I had sent to a friend in Germany, who is deceased now, and he sent me the address of the church where I got the copies of Spies records. I can send you data. Another relative got the records from me several years ago: Dan Beardsley. He and his wife went to Schwabda two years ago or three. They went and talked to the pastor of the church and confirmed the data I had received from there. I have not found any other data going back from that early dates. Dan has not sent me any data either so I assume he has not found any other connections going back. You have done more research in Germany than I have. The Hessioan soldier records have been hard for me to find. I think that Henrich was in the American Navy but it appears I am wrong. The Henrich I found was on an American ship that sank near Maryland ? Later he is found in Baltimore. I think Jeretta thought he was killed in the war. There is lots more to find out. I believe I have a marriage for him but must look into my records. I have company for the holiday ahead and will contact you later. I do not want to duplicate what Jerretta sends to you. So, we will figure it out later. My address is: (MY HUSBAND IS FAY BEEBE SYPHUS JR.) He is 73 and I am 71 in January. We have six children: four sons and the two girls. They have given us 32 grandchildren and we had one great-grandchild. Two more are on the way. I have diabetes and do not do much any more in the way of research but I will share what I have and love to get data from others. Best wishes in your research.

Asa Cossel is the brother of Lois' great-grandfather, William A. Cossel (both sons of Michael Cossel.) As for the Speece names listed in my tree..... I cannot verify this information.

will be waiting when you return home. I sent the two church documents of Conrad
& Frederick 's baptism, do not have one for Henry and couldn't find the source
for Henry being a brother of Frederick. Will look further. This computer
and especially the internet really make me feel like one dumb grandmother!! It
is so foreign to me that I have a problem remembering what I have learned from
one time to the next time I get ready to use it. My grandchildren are all
growing up with it from the time they are born and very good at it. Our 10
grandchildren range from 6mo to 23yr. It would help to have more time to spend
on genealogy, of course I just have to many interests & hobbies and since
Richard's retirement in in 1998 we have traveled a lot, mostly to see our
children and families. He loves to travel and especially since he has already
lost the sight in one eye and may lose it in his other eye as well. Well so much
for our problems. Question #5 The info I just mailed you has some info about occupations and where they lived. Some of the info I wrote for the McCracken Ky History Book & the Graves Co. History Book published by Turner Publishing. # 6 & 7 I want to share any and all the Spees info and I would love to have your dad's autobiography and Doy's also. For the last several years I have been trying to find time to write at least a short story about each one of my dad's family, so wish me luck that I can do that in 2003. I seem to be getting bumpted off a lot lately so I will close. Jerretta ----$210$Jeretta S Followell 12/31/2002 Hi E. A few more tidbits !!!! Located this line in my records. Do not have this line on my FTM program but on a simple EZT (Easy Tree Maker) that Teresa gave me when I first got my Computer. I do not have this disc anymore but have a print out of info that I had on it. Parents of Mary Louisa Spees who m. Asa Cossel is Joseph Carter & Eliza C. Taylor. Joseph C. or JC Spees was son of Christon & Mary Young Spees. When we went to the spees reunion in Memphis Mo. went the Barker Cem. and I made pictures , one was of Joseph Carters grave marker. He was a minister also. Maybe someday I will develope the "know-how " to find so many different Spees lines . I still get excited to find a line that has come down through all these many years to the present generation. Thanks again for your computer knowledge & skills. I think they still have the Spees Reunion in Aug. in Memphis MO. or Keokuk Iowa. They alternate years. ----$220$Jeretta S Followell 12/31/2002 Hi, Glad you got my e-mail, I think I left out a link in the Cossel/Spees info; Frederick Spees son of Frederick Sr. & Elizabeth Mozier, married Martha Downard on Nov.9,1826 in Bracken CO. KY. I guess he is the same one that married Martha G. b.in Ky. in 1807. Will send you a lists of Bracken Co. Marriages. The info that I submitted to the County History Books by Turner is the only Spees info in them so I will make you a copy of those pages. There are other Spees stories in the Livingston CO. History Book & the Hardin Co. Il. book, I do not have thoes books but I have copies of the Spees pages which I will copy & send to You Erma Miller Clark gave me her Hardin Co History Book when she moved into a nursing home but later she wanted it back for a while. Erma is descended from Wm. Spees. I must tell you sometime how I got in touch with her. Bye for now. J. ----$230$EKS 12/31/2002 Here are the latest iterations of the genalogy in pdf format for the ekssr.tripod site. I thought it would work best if we simplify the pedigree and add each additional part as a module with index. Could I as a favor ask you to correct a typo on the site? UNder the 1910 family photo the word "phjoto" is an obvious typo, embarrasing because it was my typo error. Also if you could add: Everett Jr. writes, "Now I bet...." This tells the reader who is saying the following words. DONE I am working on a few paragraphs to place between the pdf outputs to cite what we know about the foregoing individuals. This would be added to as we flesh out the site. For example, something about Pvt. Spies's history in the Rev. War, etc. Do you think we could import the Erbprinz Hessian regimental flag image for the first little paragraph? I sent you that link a few days ago. Another site shows a Hessian uniform that would look good there. Then, it would be good to have a link page with little annotations about what the links can be used for. We are now finding more links to Spees stuff, both URL's and addresses of family genealogists. Alternatively, the links could be in the explanatory paragraph they most related to. What is your thought on this?
