Why would a New England family uproot in the middle of the 18th century to live near a congregation of the Moravians in North Carolina?
In 1767 the parents of Catharine Rominger moved to the Wachovia, i.e. the 100,000 acres in North Carolina purchased by the Moravians. It is recorded why they moved:
"they were ... "desirous of seeking the salvation of their souls and mindful of the everlasting happiness of their children."
That among other things is loud testimony of the impact the early Moravians made for Christ and His Kingdom.
