According to Palatines Along The Mohawk, Appendix IV, a list of members of the Snells Bush Church in 1822-1830 includes the surname NESTLE. No first names or details. This beautiful old white church stands on a hilltop four miles east of Little Falls. This church has an active curator or contact - I believe it is one of the female Timmermans. Perhaps the Herkimer County Historical Society could provide the proper name. I'll bet someone would look up the church records for more detail. I'm so glad that I was able to put this book to good use.
