"Diary of Johann Christoph Doehlemann, Grenadier Company, Ansbach Regiment March 1777 to September 1778," transcribed by Karl Walther, translated by Henry J. Retzer, in The Hessians: Journal of the Johannes Schwalm Historical Association, vol. 11 (2008), p. 16. Anspach-Bayreuth was a German principality ruled by Margrave Karl Alexander. Most of its troops serving in America were divided into two regiments, the First and Second Anspach-Bayreuth Regiments, though Doehlemann consistently refers to them as the Anspach Regiment and the Bayreuth Regiment. This reflects the fact that the First Regiment was made up primarily of men from Anspach and the Second Regiment with men from Bayreuth, Col. F. A. V. Voit von Salzburg commanded the 1st Anspach-Bayreuth Regiment, while Col, F. J. H. W. Christian von Seybothern commanded the 2nd Anspach-Bayreuth Regiment.
