Molyneux and Tomlinson families of Sullivan County, and is related by marriage to the Vough family. You can learn

* Editor's Note:Thanks to the contributions of Wendy Giuliano in April 2013, we now know that this stone marks the final resting place of Ferdinand Heess, born in 1838 in Germany. He was one of two sons of Christian and Dorothea (Weigle) Heess to die in the Civil War. The other, Albert, died about the time of the Second Battle of Bull Run, while Ferdinand died in a hospital in the South, likely in the area of Charleston, S.C. His body was brought home and buried here. You can read a Letter he wrote in 1862 to his sister, Amelia (Heess) Battin, describing his role in the campaign by the Union forces to retake Charleston.
