Additional information
Ziebell family
Four generations of the
Ziebell family are buried in
Plot 7. The most notable grave,
surrounded by an ornamental
iron fence, is that of Christian and
Sophia Ziebell who built Ziebell’s
farmhouse. Their memorial,
inscribed in both German and
English (Hier Ruhet in Frieden
— Here rest in peace), records the
dates and places of their births
in Mecklenburg as well as their
deaths at Westgarthtown.
Included in this grave are Christian and Sophia’s grandson
Carl Alfred Ziebell and his wife Dorothea (nee Unmack). Other descendants are buried nearby.
Christian Levin Ziebell (1796 – 1882)
Christian Ziebell’s birthdate on his headstone is incorrect. It appears the monumental masons who inscribed his headstone made the mistake. His correct birth year according to German baptism record should be 1799, not 1796. The place given for Christian’s birth in Mecklenburg is also incorrect - he was born at Brühl, not Pruhl.
