I can't read the image, however on ancestry it has his death 29 April 1771 aged 51, buried 7 May 1771 at Stadtkirche Insterburg, Insterburg, Ostpreussen, Deutschland. There is also an image of the marriage which you have.

This may be a complete red-herring, but Gräfin in German means Countess?

Thankyou..
The link was good and correct the word Graf does mean Count in German and Countess in English.
Have checked our DNA matches,  we have 46 matches to peoples ancestral surnames Graf. just maybe our ancestor was having a lend of us when he said he came from a "noble" family.
Thanks again Rick
