Heinrich was born in Oesdorf which is now incorporated into Bad Pyrmont and is some times referred to as Pyrmont-Oesdorf. He was christened in St Peter's Church in Oesdorf on 31 Dec 1786. I had a new monument carved for him and Louisa and dedicated them in Nov 2010 with extended family in attendance. Henry's dedication poem is an exact copy of what was on the original stone. Louisa's stone was so damaged that I added an inscription for her.

I have not yet found the final resting place of his daughter Matilde although I do know she arrived in America with the family as she is registered on the ship's log..
