I don't know if he was from Reading, but on "Who Do You Think You Are" Rob Lowe's ancestry was being investigated and he was excited about tracing a great (times however many) grandfather and his patriot history. Turned out gramps was a Hessian soldier who stayed after the war.

My father use to tell us that our ancestors came over with the Hessians to fight for the British but whenever/wherever they arived Washington gave them some money and land . It was in Somerset/Cambria county. I wish they would have kept records but they didn’t so all is lost.
This is all very interesting.
