Julie, some information is at http://www.genealogie-mainspitze.de/hessenmilitaer/hm-nas.htm The Lowlands should be the Netherlands and L. Scheyalbach is Langenschwalbach, today Bad Schwalbach (near Wiesbaden). Wisper is a small river going from the Taunus mountains into the river Rhine. The area belonged to the dukedom Nassau.
