About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The Hessian burial ground was on the north edge of the Adam Peltz (Beltz) land near the southern boundary of early David Crone land. All of the persons buried here were not Hessian. Members of intermarried families such as the Gilberts were also buried here. Members of the Beltz, Crone, Detry, and possibly Beam were buried here. Peter Beltz was brought from the lower valley to be buried in the home burial ground. Some claim that Peter Beltz, son of Adam, was the last person to be buried in the Hessian plot.
