A cradle similar to one which was used by Conrad Weiser's children. Clauea When Conrad Weiser was no more than a Babe from the cradle, he, together with his family, left his home in Gross Aspach, Wurttemberg, Germany, and joined the throng of expatriates moving northward along the Rhine River to Rotterdam. In the year 1709, Conrad's mother died. He wrote in his diary of his mother: She was a God-fearing woman and much loved of her neighbors. After this episode, Conrad, with his father and seven other brothers and sisters, stayed in Holland for a time. Finally, after many months of waiting, Queen Anne left them sail to New York. After Conrad and his family had spent many years of suffering in the colonies, war broke out. The people won the right to toil their own land and raise crops to keep from starving. Although Weiser never studied in Chmer as we do now in the modern world, his travels enabled him to study the languages and customs of many peoples. This qualified him for the great work of interpreter and peacemaker. -23-
