I don't speak Dutch, but from my knowledge of German I'd say it means:

In the year 1757
June, 10
Jacob Eckerson and
his son Corlelus
passed away. In the year 1757

Some words are apparently spelled differently today (zijn, zoon, overleden).

I'd be grateful if someone else could confirm my translation.

It would help to see the original inscription, but my guess is that Cadenus has it right. ;D
