Description
-
Elizabeth's children describe her Huguenot family ancestry and how they escaped France to finally arrive in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Her family was acquainted with Brother Spangenberg and Count Zinzendorf. Elizabeth received a liberal education in Philadelphia and moved to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania when she was 21, a Moravian community in which she spent the rest of her life. Her children mentioned that she suffered from "nervous affections" and forgetfulness but she never lost her love for her Savior.
