” I was born on November 10, 1710, in Grünberg1 in Moravia, near to the Bohemian border. ....”
”... Then Br. Israel, who was with my emaciated Hannel in the cabin, said that now we could have been be very unlucky; she answered, [so?], and with that she passed away. He called to me, "Now your wife goes home!" I turned my face away, but could not let the rudder out of my hands. He sang a few verses to her. The storm continued on. We made ready the body as best we could; when she was to be given to the sea early on the 29th, the captain asked Br. Israel whether he didn't want to give a funeral sermon? The body was then laid on the deck, but hardly a verse was sung before a wave came over the ship so that we were standing up to our knees in water, and it took the body away towards the Gallery. There was then nothing else to do, and a sailor helped me to lift her over board. She could not sink, however, because we had no stones. But we could not see her for long, because the storm pushed us back. ...”
” August 11, 1742, I was married for the second time, to the Widow Verona Lehaus, born Demuth, whose husband traveled for Bethlehem after my arrival and could not take her along, because otherwise there would be no sister to do the work of the souls among women there, and also because she had been confined [in childbirth] just a few days before. The dear Savior called her husband, Valentine Lehaus, into eternal rest on his return journey to Staten Island. In our twenty-two year marriage, we were blessed with four children, of whom one son and one daughter are with the Gemeine in North America, and two lay in God's Acre in Bethlehem. ...”
“I traveled to Bethlehem again in March 1767 with the little Engelhart. There, in the September before my return, I was married for the third time with the Widow Christina Heckewelder. In 1768, we traveled to St. Croix in the place of the blessed Br. and Sr. Hantschen. In the following year, however, in August, I became a widower once again. “
