I represent Henrich Kuempel. I was a private in the 4th Company, 3rd Waldeck Regiment. I was born in Lauerbach. 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; I sailed with the 1777 recruit class and arrived later. After two years of heavy action the regiment was sent to Pensacola, along with the provincial loyalist forces of Maryland and Pennsylvania. I died of illness on December 20, 1779. I probably still lie in an unmarked grave in Pensacola.
