General Notes: Husband - Christian Frederick Steinman

---

His eldest son, George Michael, sailed with Moravian colonists from Zist for St. Petersburg in 1767, and the next year was one of the zealous band who founded Serepta, in Astrakhan, and there settled and married in 1793.

He and his wife embarked for Pennsylvania as a fruitful field for missionary labor, and settled at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

The Moravian Church records at Lititz, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, report that Christian Frederick Steinman arrived with his family at that new ecclesiastical establishment in November, 1756, and that he had been appointed to oversee and take care of the workmen who were to build the saw- and grist-mill near the town, on the stream issuing from the great Lititz Spring. After a large part of this work was done the church authorities changed the site of the mill to a spot quite a mile below the village, whither "Brother and Sister Steinman removed in April, 1757, taking up their abode in a house bought by the brethren." They returned to Bethlehem in 1758, but in October of the next year returned to Lititz as permanent residents, where he died, being the first married man who had died in the new settlement, and the fifth person buried in the Moravian cemetery, his grave being numbered "5," and the seventh from the main entrance walk, in the second row from the south end of the graveyard, in its southwestern corner. His widow removed with her son, John Frederick, to Lancaster, there married John Christopher Heyne, and died without issue of her second marriage.
