Hello,

I'm searching for any information on Johann Konrad UEBELHACK / ÜBELHACK. He was a Hessian Soldier with the Ansbach-Bayreuth Regiment and after the Revolutionary War was over and while on the march back to New York to be put on a ship to be sent back to Germany, he deserted so he could stay in America. I'd like to know where he settled and if he had a family and if so, what were their names, dates, locations, etc., etc.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Good start, Earl, and I wish you good luck with your search
for your Hessian soldier ancestor. I do have a problem with
your desertion date, although the Staedtler list of Ansbach
deserters quotes him as having deserted on 18. May 1783,
which seems to be the basis of your conclusions. This would
place him in an entirely different location, and may be the
source of your problem finding him. Consider this - in the
"A Hessian Officer's Diary of the American Revolution" ,
translated from An Anonymus Ansbach-Bayreuth Diary as
originally written by Johann Ernst Prechtel, translated and edited by Bruce E. Burgoyne, published by Heritage Books,
Inc., Bowie, Maryland, 1994, on page 94 is listed
UEBELACKER as a deserter from the Grenadier Company
while the Company was stationed at Rhode Island, in 1778.
With him are lsied as deserters: Friedrich Stoll, Chreistoph Bernhard, Johann Georg Rummel, and Simon Gruber.
Mind you, they did not desert together on one day, but from
the same location at Newport, R.I. (Stoll 20 Feb 1778, Bernhart 1. March 1778, Rummel 13.Aug.1778, could not find
Gruber, Simon)
Anyway, let's hope that we find some cousins of yours who
can help with this search. Name like this can't get lost, eh?
Greetings,
