Terrific. Thanks Robert. Added to Jacob Roesch page. More rearch needed on the other names. Apparently Jacob Roesch and Wilhelm Becker were in the armed services together. Kent

You're welcome, Kent. The two fusiliers could have been in the military or the local militia.

Good to know! Now that you mention it the local militia was probably very important with the French coming through and causing problems throughout the years.
