Tombstones of my 6th great-grandparents, Andreas Finck (at right) and his wife, Catherine Loucks Finck in the Reformed Dutch Church Cemetery in Stone Arabia, NY.
Gravestone of Andreas Finck in the Reformed Dutch Church of Stone Arabia.
The marker is written in German and very hard to read but this is what the transcript appears to be. Notes on translation below: Hier Liget und Ruhet der Hoffnung Nach in Gott
Andreas Finck Gestorben den 22nd August 1786 Alt geworden 64 Jahr
[Note in the first line the second word looks like Liget but it might really be Lugen for the phrase to translate to "Here lies"; so the full translation might be:
Here lies and rests the hope according to God
Andreas Finck
died the 22nd August 1786 grown old 64 years
