Caspar-Gerhardt Nieding

Other Events:

• Immigration: Jul 1777, Quebec, Canada

Notes:

A Hessian Auxiliary soldier with the Hanau Jaegercorp (Chasseurs), a military unit that came to Canada during the American Revolution to serve with the British. Originally from "Gelhar" (possibly Gelnhaar, located northeast of Frankfurt) in the county of Hanau, Germany. Caspar was discharged in Canada in 1783, married in 1787 and apparently settled in the Laprairie, Quebec area where many (most, all?) of his children were married. Surname seen as NEEDING and NIDING, and given name seen as Gaspard and Gerhardt in the parish registers of Quebec. For simplicity, I have chosen to standardize on NIDING for the descendents of Caspar.

Marie-Angélique (daughter of Marc Gagne and Marie-Catherine Bareau) was born on 23 Apr 1762 in Côte-Ste-Catherine, Quebec, Canada; died on 28 Mar 1837 in Laprairie, Quebec, Canada.
