General Notes: Husband - George Hetrick

---

He was supposed to have been killed in the Revolutionary War, in which he fought with the British. However, according to another account he went to England after the war, or at any rate to the Old World. A clipping from the New York World of June 3, 1893, bearing the heading, "The Hetrick $70,000,000\emdash No Myth, At least one of the heirs says the story is confirmed from Berlin," would seem to substantiate this: "(Special to the World) York, Pa., June 2. - The report of a $70,000,000 estate in Germany waiting to be distributed among the Hetrick heirs in America is said to be confirmed by information one of the Dauphin county Hetricks claims to have received from the United States Consul General in Berlin. The fortune is for the descendants of Col. George Hetrick of Revolutionary fame."
