In about 1776, Paulser Ingle was a Hessian soldier, whose military service was sold by his country to neighboring England for use in the American colonies. After arriving in America with the British forces many Hessian soldiers would defect and either abandon war and go into hiding, or turn to fight for independence with the American Revolutionist.
We know that Paulser Ingle and his brother George Ingle, along with a few of their young sons did remain in America. Hessian government had amended their rules to include sending young sons & brothers along with these older soldiers. Paulser Ingle's son Peter Jack Ingle Sr. was 14 years old and sent to fight with his father and uncle.
Peter Ingle stated once that he began learning English at the age of 15, which was within the year he arrived in America with his father and siblings.-anecdotal
