"Johu Gottlieb Ernestus Heckewelder was 

 born at Bedford, England, March 12, 1743. His 

 father was a German exile. * * * In the year 

 1754thofamily came to America, father, mother, 

 and four children. In 1758 he was apprenticed 

 to a cedar-cooper, with whom he remained four 

 years, and then became Eroderick Cliristian 

 Posfs companion In his second visit to the Mu.s- 

 kingum in the year 1762. He was Zeisberger's 

 assistant in the Susquehanna valley in 1765, 

 and to him for a time was given charge of the 

 Machiwihilusing Mission. During the follow- 

 ing nineteen years he was much of the time a 

 fellow laborer with Zeisberger. Heckewelder 

 was the founder of Salem, on the Tuscarawas, 

 and in the chapel there, July 4, 1780, ho married 

 Sara Ohneberg, th(^ venerable Adam Grube offi- 

 ciating, probably the first wedding of a white 

 couple within Uio limits of the present State of 

 Ohio. He was with tlu) Indian chiueh during 

 all the early troubles ii'cord.'d in tliis Diary, 

 but finally, owing to thoilliiossof his wife when 

 upon the Cuyahoga, he returned to the church

at Bethlehem October 9, 1780. Henceforward 

 he was not immediately connected with our 

 mission, though he made it two or three visits, 

 being employed in other duties, especially as 

 agent of the Society for Propagating the 

 Gospel among the Heathen, and as one of the 

 Peace Commissioners sent to treat with the In- 

 dians. In the year 1798, however, he came to 

 Fairfield, on the Thames, to assist in conduct- 

 ing a portion of the church of Goshen, stajnng 

 there oulj- nine days. In the valley of the Mus- 

 kingum he labored until 1810, when he went 

 home to the church, being now nearly seventy 

 years old, and having well earned repose. He 

 died January 31, 1823. 



" Heckewelder is the best known of all the 

 Moravian missionaries who labored among the 

 American Indians. For this he is much in- 

 debted to his books, but also to his social qual- 

 ities, which made him more a man of the world 

 than were his coadjutors. He had the strength 

 of character to resist the insidious tendencies 

 of the solitary life among savages, the eft'ects 

 of which can be seen in Edwards and Zeis- 

 berger."' — Bliss, Diary of David Zeisberger, vol.
