The surname became anglicized to Cashman shortly after their arrival so that they could live in peace in the new country "the USA". This was a result of the Germans being so hated and in some cases killed off, because the Hessian's had been used to fight the colonist during the revolutionary war.

History and genealogy of the German emigrant Johan Christian Kirschenmann, anglicized Cashman, with references to other Cashman surnames in America of German, Irish, Jewish, other, and unknown origins. By Weaner, Arthur. 1957

The stone faces an Easternly direction (NE) as was the custom of the early Dutch in burial. The stone is of slate material and matches his wife's. This stone has three rounded peaks on top, presumably copied from English tavern signs.

Each stone has at the top in the center a six pointed star. This is symbolic of the sun which affects the life of man from birth to death. On either side of the star there appears a fern-like leaf. The inscriptions are all in English with the spelling the surname Kersheman, a Dutchified form of the correct Kirshenmann. The date on the stone is 1800, which is the usual continental way of writing 1800 and 1. Beneath the inscription there appears a horizontal double oval which is decorative and often found in script writings.

In the center of each stone is a heart, symbolic of the seat or center of life. In German peasant art it is the favored symbol of love. On either side of the heart is an upright leaf symbolic of the tree of life.
