Dear Listies

We had spoken about Johann August Hattorff this year. Rena from England has
send me a link were i could see the place of birth of Johann August Hattorff.
In his files in England they say he is born in "Schoningen".

So i send a researcher to look the churchbooks but there was no birth of a
Johann August Hattorff.

Then i tried to find him in the Archive in Hannover, they have military
files too. This is what i got:

Hann 48 a I Nr. 123 Stammrolle des Regiments 1804 – 1808
Pag. 12
Register of Men , First Troop

remarks -
So after this files he should be born in Uslar, what is not far away from
Schoningen, once again i send someone to check the churchbooks to find the
birth of Johann August Hattorf. Nothing at all?
Additional informations about Johann August Hattorff. He is searchable at
the LDS site. There they spell his name as John Augustus Hattorff married with
Susannah Brookes.
I got finally his marriage lisence.
Its not easy to read cause not in the best condition:
John Augustus Hattorff of this Parish, Bachelor, Sergeant Major in the first
Regiment German Hussars and Susannah Brookes of this Parish, Spinster???
..... this Church by Licence this seventh day of January in the year 1813.
By me Wm. Layton, Rector
The Marriage was folemnized between us
Johann August Hattorff
Susannah Brookes
Then finally i have the baptism of their first child born in England
Susannah Augusta Hattorff, born 8th November 1813. Parents John Augustus Hattorff &
Susannah his wife.
Any suggestion how to go on with my search? Thank you all.

Dear Armin,

Do you think that records for the KGL are then both in England and in
Germany for all individuals who were members of that illustrious band of
men ?

The records in London are basically lists of names; and then muster
books, which can be ordered up, give lengths of service, pay and if
you're lucky - very lucky - enlistment or discharge papers, if they
enlisted or were discharged in England, or embarked at one of the ports.

If those members who wanted me to look on the lists for their ancestors,
and I was to find a specific battalion, etc, or if they were in the
cavalry, foot, or in the ranks, could they then be sought in more detail
in records in Hanover, once they were pinned down?

In his files in England they say he is born in "Schoningen".

The Ortsfamilienbuch Uslar was recently published. There is no Johann August Hattorf mentioned but there are some von Hattorfs listed.

=4983= Hattorf, Johann Philipp, Erbherr, Oberfaktor
~ 26.3.1676 in Osterode St. Marien
+ 1.12.1741 in Uslar
buried 3.2.1741 in Schoningen

=4984= Hattorf, von, Friedrich Martin Oberamtmann in Uslar
* 25.2.1681 Osterode +9.5. 1740 in Uslar buried 11.5.1740 in Schoningen

=4985 = Hattorf, von Georg Just Ludolph Erbherr auf Uslar, Schoningen und Verliehausen
* 17.7.1784 Gut Wied/Dannenberg +23.8. 1853 in Uslar/ Papiermühle

=4987= Hattorf, von Johann Ernst Commissions-Rath * um 1707 + 7.9.1754 Uslar

=4988= Hattorf, von Just Friedrich *17.5.1708 in Elbingerrode + 28.12.1766 in Uslar

One wonders if Johann August Hattorf could be an illegitimate son of one of the Hattorf families mentioned above. In the Ortsfamilienbuch there is no evidence of that.

The Ortsfamilienbuch was edited by Klaus Kunze, Fürstenberg. I believe he is a subscriber of this list.

I made a stupid mistake there. Klaus Kunze lives not in Fürstenberg but in Fürstenhagen. Beg your pardon, it was late when i wrote it.
