The term "Hessians" generally refers to German soldiers hired by the British during the American Revolutionary War, primarily from the region of Hesse. Notable Hessian commanders included General Wilhelm von Knyphausen and Colonel Johann Rall. However, there were numerous individual Hessian soldiers, and their names varied widely, as they came from different German states and units. Specific records of all their names are extensive and not easily summarized.
