I am researching the background of the Minser family that currently resides in Fort Wayne, IN. At this time, the earliest direct ancestor found in the United States is Jacob Minsor, born abt. 1767 in Frederick, VA. From there, I've come to dead end. It is said the Jacob may have been a hessian soldier, sent from Germany or Great Britain to figth the revolutionary soldiers on behalf of the British. He would have then either defected and stayed in the US, or was captured and later released. If this is true, then Jacob Minsor was not born in Virginia. Also, the original spelling may be Mintzer (German) or Minsor (British). | |
