JOHANN RUEHRSCHNECK.

He is buried in a private cemetery on his home place in SW Virginia, in a place they called "Glade Hollow".  There are just a handful of people buried there, all family. Anyway, there is a memorial marker there stating that he was a Hessian.

I am sending you a picture of the memorial marker, a photo of the group of his descendants dedicating the memorial in 1977, a copy of the newspaper article that was written by a family member in an effort to try to build up interest and obtain funding for the memorial marker, and a copy of a newspaper article that was written about the dedication.  I have included them not for research purposes, as some of the information in them is wrong, but because they show the interest and pride the family has in honoring our Hessian forefather. If you use these articles, please make some kind of notation that some of the information is inaccurate. I am also supplying general directions how to get to the cemetery. Please use whatever of this information that you like on the AMREV Hessian site.
