Lancaster County: In the year 1745, the German pastor of the Lutheran church (built in 1734) united a portion of his congregation with the Moravians. A great ferment was excited among the Lutherans. The Lutherans alleged that they were compelled to hear a doctrine which they did not approve, or else to resign their church. Both Heinrich and Anna Maria were received into Moravian membership in 1745. In 1748, he moved with his family to Heidelberg, Berks County, Pennsylvania. He was married twice, surviving both wives.
