While I don't have information on the three soldiers listed. I am a descendant of Hubert Merion/Marian who was a member of Peter Hassenclever's iron manufacturing enter-
prise in the Echo Lake, New Jersey area.He had one son,Theunis/Anthony, with his first wife, Julianna.He, Theunis, participated in the American Revolution.Hubert is said to have had other children with a second wife, Anna Mary - Joseph, Henry, Anna Mary and Robert.I descend through his first wife and am sure of the connection.Details on the second family were provided by a very distant relative.
Perhaps you would have some luck with records of a lineage society or those of the Grand Army of the Republic.You
could check to see if they or their widows applied for a pension.Those records provide a wealth of information.Good luck.(Sorry if I seem to be directing your search).
