Since Jacob Sala was supposed to fight with the Hessian army, coming to America and wanting to fight against them was probably very difficult.

I believe that Jacob Sala was the first of my family to come to America. He was a Roman Catholic Priest who accompanied Hessian troops to fight colonists in the Revolutionary War. He came to America when he left the Germans to fight alongside the colonists. After, he returned to Germany to leave the church, then came back to America and married the sister of General Morgan, Margolene Morgan.
