And here is one more:
NN. Mathias * 1671, on 1 Oct 1734 fell off his horse and died in front of the church in Ahlden. Pastor took care of the burial not knowing who he was. Family tradition has it that the family were French Huguenots who followed Eleanor d'Olbreuse to Celle. I believe he may have been one of the guards of Sophie Dorothea, the so-called "Princessin von Ahlden". Later one Heinrich Anton Matthias (1710-nach 1760) who I think was his son owned the mill at Frankenfeld. Who was he? Any help or ideas greatly appreciated. Thanks. Jane
Den 1 Okt 1734 ein Reuter gennant Matthias (kein Vorname) ist bei der Kirche zu Ahlden vom Pferde gefallen und gestorben. Ich glaube er war W�chter von Sophie Dorothea, die sogennant "Prinzessen von Ahledn" Weisst jemand wer er ist? Danke f�r deine Hilfe. Jane
