I've never actually counted mine up but I have a number who fought as well, so many so that I have a whole bunch of well-documented choices if I ever wanted to apply to SAR.

My grandfather mentioned to me once that we had a Hessian ancestor, but I'm not sure who that is.  I know I have a Loyalist ancestor but I don't know that he actually took up arms.  After the war ended a bunch of townies burned his store down or something like that in an act of revenge.

What made them Hessian? Did they fly to Scotland or something?
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Many of the Pennsylvania Dutch are Swiss. Or were anyway.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Shocking.  A native Kentuckian who thinks he is part Cherokee.  Ed has that in common with 99% of the hicks who grew up here. :)
