Information on Stephen Conrad

From Ancestry.com post:

Original Conrads in Virginia, moving to D.C. shootcraps (View posts) Posted: 26 Aug 2009 2:10PM GMT

Classification: Query Surnames: Conrad, Parker, Stahlschmidt I am looking for information on the Conrad family that settled in Rockingham Co, Va (now Harrisonburg, Va). The following is the tombstone inscription at East Point Cemetery in Rockingham:

"John Stephen Conrad Sr., his wife Anna Catarina Stahlschmidt and more than fifty decendants are buried in this lot outlined by 14 granite posts. Coming from Germany they settled here about 1758. John Stephen Sr. died in 1767 and his wife in 1768. Their rough unlettered gravestones now support this tablet. East Point Cemetery thus began."

I am specifically looking for the line with Charles E. Conrad was born abt 1834 in Virginia. He married Rebecca Parker, then Virginia Parker (maybe cousins). His father may have been David Conrad, born abt 1793. I believe that David maybe a grandson or uncle of John Stephen Conrad and his wife Anna.
