Thanks, Jim! i am happy to join.

I found quite a lot of information in a book I saw at the Archives in Herrnhut, Germany. It is in German and is titled: Chronik der Marktgemeinde Zauchtel a.d. Oder. It has David Heckewelder born 25 May 1711 and died 11 Sept. 1760.

A Moravian diary or history of the St. John Mission 1758-1768 mentions the death of David Heckewaelder: "The missionary David Heckewaelder, who administered the missions after Georg Weber's recall, came to the end of his days at the age of forty-nine during a visit to St. John on September 11, 1760. In the twentieth year of his life, he had left his birthplace, Zauchenthal in Moravia, and come to Herrnhut." This also would make his year of birth 1711.

Yup, I think we have it right now on Geni.

Thanks, Erica and Katen. Good sleuthing :-)
