Notes:

Information obtained from a letter from Leallah Franklin, 822 Camino De Los Padres, Tucson, AZ 85718, dated Oct. 1, 1990, in which she speaks about information obtained from a book on the Nestlerodes, by Talwin: "Christian's father J. Christnsth or Sardin Christian Nestleroth came to America on "The Queen of Denmark." Arrived Phil, Pa on 11-2-1752. He settled in Lancaster County, PA. J. Christian was how it was listed on the Queen of Denmark, but he signed it I Christian, on hi s land purchase records in Lancaster, Pa it is listed as Sardin Christian Nesselroth. I found his name on the immigration list in a book in Salt Lake City. A lot of the Nesselrodes came from southern Europe to Germany and then some of them wen t to Russia. Some of them were of Royalty in Germany also. I have a royal chart of the Nesselrodes in Germany, but I can't find any connection yet. A couple of articles I've read says we are of Russian descent. They were members of Trinity Lu theran Church in Lancaster, PA. This Talwin seems to have done alot of research on the Nesselrodes and he says that Sardin Christian Nesselroth had sons of Christian, Isreal, John, Daniel, and Christopher. He did not list the females....I under stand that our Christian had about 26 children between two wives." Will of Christian Nestleroad, Book B, p. 67 Centre County, Howard Twp.
