General Notes: Husband - Conrad Weiser
His name was really John Conrad, the same as his father's, but he was so generally called Conrad only, that the fact of his having another Christian name is almost forgotten.
He was about fourteen years old at the time of the immigration to America. Three years later he lived for about eight months among the Indians, and it was largely due to this that he became proficient in their tongue. In the spring of 1723 about sixty families removed from the Schoharie, New York, settlement to Pennsylvania and formed the first white settlement in that colony north of the South Mountain Ridge. A second migration succeeded this after six years, and among the members of this second body were Conrad Weiser and his family. In Pennsylvania he became a man of prime importance. A capable and honest Indian interpreter was a valuable man. For more than twenty years he was almost constantly employed by the civil authorities in connection with Indian affairs. The colonial records, not only of Pennsylvania, but also of New York, Ohio and Virginia, are full of reports concerning his difficult, lonely, and hazardous journeys in the performance of these services. He was intimate with colonial governors; with Benjamin Franklin and with other notable men. The interests of his own community were not neglected; he was the chief agitator in the movement which finally resulted in the formation of Berks County, and was first judge of its courts, which office he held until his death. For a while he lived at Reading and kept a store. He served in the French and Indian war. He was an active promoter of religion and education. While he was himself was a Lutheran, he greatly assisted in the missionary efforts of the Moravians and of other religious bodies.
