Dear Diary - The Baptism of a Negro Child


"in our Tavern Brother Kramsch baptized a Negro child whose parents live on Wachovia land (i.e. the 100,000 acres of land owned by the Brethren, in NC) and had requested it. The service was in English, and was attended by a number of Brothers and others." -- Diary entry: June 14, 1789
