• Biography*: Excerpts from a written account on Adam Spach from the Moravian records -
  I was born January 20, 1720, at Pfaffenhofen, in lower Alsace, where my father was a citizen and a weaver of damask. In my fifth year my mother passed away, so my father alone brought me up, holding me firmly to church and school. In 1733, that is in my thirteenth year, I was confirmed for the Holy Communion, and enjoyed this high privilege for the first time in the Lutheran Church, though with fear and trembling because of my unfitness, of which I was well aware.
  At that time there was much talk of war, (which indeed broke out soon after), so my father decided to leave that country and go to America. When we reached America my father was not able to pay in full for our passage, so a Mennonite gave the ship 7 Pounds for me, for which I had to serve him for six years.
  At the close of my years of service I went to Manakosy, in Maryland. At that time there was no Protestant minister in Pennsylvania or in Maryland, and no Lutheran Church services were held. (And I had no liking for the sects that did exist there). When the spark of good, which had been lighted in my heart by my first communion, ceased to glow I fell into a state of indifference, sought bad companionship, and drifted into sin and shame.
  December 17, 1752, I married Maria Elisabeth, maiden name Hueter, and God blessed out union in many ways, and gave us five sons and four daughters; and I have lived to see forty-two grandchildren.
  In 1753, we moved to North Carolina. We found the road very difficult, but the presence of our dear Load comforted us as we journeyed. We settled as near as possible to the boundaries of Wachovia, in the hope that in time a group could be gathered that would form a congregation in connection with the Unit of Brethren (the Moravian Church). Soon more families settled here, planning to become allied with Bethabara and the Unity. The Brethren from Bethabara visited us and preached for us at various times, which was a great encouragement for our poor hearts.
  Not long after our arrival, war broke out with the Wild Men, and we took refuge in Bethabara, and received much illness from the Brethren. When the trouble subsided we returned to our plantation, and soon after arranged with the Brethren that we would build a house for school and meetings. Brother Ettwein often gave us pleasure by coming to our house; and he was selected and decided on the location for the School House of Friedberg. We connected ourselves with the congregation of Bethabara, and attended services there; until at last a congregation was organized here.
  
  In my seventieth year the Saviour gave me back my eyesight, so that I could read without glasses, but on the other hand I almost entirely lost my hearing. But the Brethren let me have the "Gemein Nachrichten" to read, and they supplied blessed food for my spirit. Through them I was often led to thank and adore the Saviour for what He was doing through the Brethren in Christian and in heathen lands; and they served for the testing and correction of my heart.
  
  (So far in his own hand)
  
  For a number of years he was a member of the local Society for the Furtherance of the Gospel among the heathen, which he considered of much importance, and although in the last years, on account of deafness, he could not hear what was said, yet he never failed to attend the annual meeting, saying that he could not miss the feeling of a common interest in the spread of the kingdom of God in the Earth as it appeared in this gathering. He also always wished to read the minutes of the transactions of the meeting, which were willingly lent to him. He was greatly interested in all the writings of the Unity, and so soon as he heard of a new book, written by a member, which could be had in Salem he was eager to read it as soon as possible. In general it may be said that his heart lived in the affairs of the Saviour and His unity; and we can truly say that he was a faithful and worthy member of the Unity. With inward joy and with content of heart he contributed to the needs of this congregation and of its pastor, and also to the Missions among the heathen, and to the entire work of the Unity of Brethren.
  
  For some years it has been evident that his strength was failing, and as his illness increased he often remarked that he hoped the Saviour would leave him here until he could read the Minutes of the General Synod of the Unity of Brethren, which was to be held this year.
  
  Concerning his walk among us we can truly say that his devotion to the Saviour was sweetly apparent even to the end; and especially since the home-going of his wife on October 26, 1799, he has spent much time quietly alone, in trustful communion with the Saviour. As the congregations of the Saviour were his joy he was the more distressed when he saw anything in them that was not according to the Spirit of Christ. The salvation of his children and children's children lay near to his heart, and he never failed in earnest fatherly admonition if he saw anything unrighteous in their conduct, or any carelessness in attendance on the services of the congregation, in which he himself had found such blessed spiritual food. It was a special pleasure to him that in this year he was able to visit all of his children in their homes, as he believed that this would be his last year of life here below.
  
  On August 13th he was in Salem, when all the communicant members in Wachovia gathered for the celebration of this Festival of Unity of Brethren, which he greatly enjoyed. Some days later he became seriously ill, and it soon became evident that our dear Lord would take this occasion to call him home, and he himself believed this. During the last days he had much pain in his chest to endure.
  
  On the 23rd of this month, in the presence of several Brethren and Sisters, the blessing of the Lord and of the congregation was bestowed upon him, in anticipation of his home-going, and on the same afternoon he quietly fell asleep, his age being 81 years, 7 months and 3 days.
