I represent Anton Andreas Puoll. I was a private in the 3rd Company, 3rd Waldeck Regiment. I was born in Samariza, Italy. The 3rd Waldeck Regiment was hired by the British from Waldeck Prince Frederick Karl Augustus to assist them in fighting the American rebels in the Revolutionary War. The rest of the Regiment reached North America in 1776. After two years of heavy action they were sent to Pensacola, along with the provincial loyalist forces of Maryland and Pennsylvania. I came to America with the 1778 recruit shipment, and we had a pretty miserable time, arriving already sick from our journey. I died of illness on July 18, 1780. I probably still lie in an unmarked grave in Pensacola.
