Jacob Nehse in Forestville, VA
I just got back from a trip to Forestville, VA, looking for my husband's ancestors. I found a very interesting tombstone in the cemetery of Solomon's Lutheran Church, which is located just west of that little town, that I need some help with.
The stone was very old and in bad condition, but I could read the following (written in German)"Jacob Nehse - Warb Ein B(illegible) - St Der Luderische - Gebohren Ocd - Ber (?)en 2 Und - (Illegible) 1738 Und" The remainder of the stone was unfortunately so damaged that it was not readable.
Does anyone have a listing of the burials in this cemetery and, if so, is this one listed? Does anyone have this Jacob Nehse in their family tree or know anything else about him? Does anyone know German that can translate this for me?
I took photos of this stone, of the church, of Forestville and of the Zirkle Mill located there. If anyone is interested in them, I can e-mail them to you.
Thanks - Sue Nease
