Kings German Legion 1806

[Bear]

Hello,

I received an email from a young lady asking if I might know where she might find some information on a Ernst/Ernest von or de Schmiedern. I thought I'd start here or maybe the German Section

The email:

Can you help me?

I am trying to find out about Ernst/Ernest von or de Schmiedern (?-1845).

He was in KGL 1st Dragoons until december 1806. From March 1807 he was in

7th Hussars ( Queens Own). At some point he became a Baron, perhaps it came

with his KH (20/9/26). He had a wife called Clara and an only daughter

Augusta Clara (1831). Any suggestions where to look?

thanks,

barry
