John Gottlieb Ernestas Heckewelder was 

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

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

 1754 the family 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 Frederick Christian 

 Post's companion in his second visit to the Mus- 

 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 Mach- 

 iwihilusing Mission. During the following 

 nineteen years he was much of tho time a fellow 

 laborer with Zeisberger Heckewelder was the 

 founder of Salem, on the Tuscarawas, and in 

 chapel there, July 4, 1780, he married SaraOhne- 

 berg, the venerable Adam Grube officiating, 

 probably the first wedding of a white couple 

 within tho limits of the present state of Ohio. 

 He was with the Indian church du^ring all the 

 early troubles recorded in this diary, but 

 finally, owing to the illness of his wife when 

 upon the Cuyahoga, he returned to the church 

 at Bethlehem October 9, 1783. Henceforward he 

 was not immediately connected with our mis- 

 sion, though hem.'ideit 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 Indians. 

 In the year 1798, however, became to Fairfield, 

 on the Thames, to assist in conducting a por- 

 tion of the church to Goshen, staying there only 

 nine days. In the valley of the Muskingum he 

 labored until 1810, when he went home to the 

 church, being now nearly seventy years old, 

 and having well earned repose. He died Jan- 

 uary 31, 1823.— Bliss, Diary of David Zeisber-

Manuscript, about 1,700 pp. foolscap, pre- 

 served in the library of Parliament, Ottawa, 

 Canada. For its description I am indebted to 

 the kindness of Mr. Charles N. Bell, of Winni- 

 peg, who writes: " The sheets are evidently not 

 the original ones used by Alexander Henry, but 

 are r written from his journals by one George 

 Coventry, who seems to have been a family 

 friend. No date is given to the copying, nor is 

 there any intimation where the original docu- 

 ments are to be found." 



The journal extends from 1799 to 1812, and 

 between the dates 1808 and 1809 are vocabula- 

 ries of the Ojeebois, Knistineaux, Assiniboine, 

 Slave, and Flat Head, about 300 words each of 

 the first three and a somewhat larger number 

 of the last two. Copies of these have been fur- 

 nished the Bureau of Ethnology by Mr. Bell.
