Charles Weissenstein, 1780, Quebec
Charles Christophe Weissenstein, my 3 GGF, was a Hessian mercenary until 1783.He came to Lower Canada from the Hesse-Hanau area of Germany to protect the Canadian border families from incursions by US forces during the American Revolution, and stayed in Quebec after the war.
Interested in locating descendants of his. Surname of his descendants has been seen as Vanchestein, Vanchestaing, Vinchestein, and over 30 similar variations.Charles was from Bischofsheim, northeast of Frankfurt, GE. Am particularly interested in determining if there are any descendants surviving in GE/Canada.Thanks. Larry
