Description
-
In his memoir, Johann Friedrich Peter describes his childhood in Holland and in Niesky. He attended the seminary in Barby and joined the Single Brothers' Choir in 1770. In 1779, he was called to Salem, North Carolina. He then served in several congregations like Graceham, Maryland, and Hope, New Jersey. Peter's memoir ends in 1792. Another brother or sister finished it by recounting his last years in Bethlehem where he served with "exemplary faithfulness".
