Iroquois Confederacy
Conrad Weiser
b. 11.2.1696 Herrenberg, Wurtemberg
d. 7.13.1760 Womelsdorf, Pennsylvania
Conrad Weiser was a Pennsylvania Dutch pioneer, interpreter and diplomat between the Pennsylvania Colony and Native Americans. He was a farmer, soldier, monk, tanner and judge.
He was an ally to the Iroquois. He contributed as an emissary in councils between Native Americans and Pennsylvania during the 18th century's tensions of the French and Indian War (Seven Years' War).
He was born in Germany in the last part of the 17th century.
Herrenberg
Herrenberg is located in the southwestern part of Germany. It is is situated on the western edge of the Schonbuch forest. It is a town in the middle of Baden Wurttemberg. Baden Wurttemberg is a state that sits east of the Rhine River and forms the border with France.
The County Palatine of the Rhine was a palatinate. The word is drawn from the Latin palatium. It is the word for palace. The palatinate is the office. It was administered by the Count Palatine of the Rhine.
The fragmented territory stretched from the left bank of the Upper Rhine from the Hunsrück mountain range into the adjacent parts of the French regions of Alsace and Lorraine to the opposite territory on the east bank of the Rhine in present-day Hesse and Baden-Württemberg.
The Duchy of Wurttemberg was a member of the Holy Roman Empire from 1495 to 1806. The dukedom survived for nearly four centuries mainly due to its size. It was larger than its immediate neighbors. The duchy faced great pressure from the Holy Roman Empire to remain a member during the Protestant Reformation.
The German Palatines were 18th-century emigrants from the Middle Rhine region of the Holy Roman Empire. They were both Protestant and Catholic. The wealthy region was repeatedly invaded by French troops towards the end of the 17th and into the 18th century. The invasions resulted in continuous military requisitions, widespread devastation and famine.
The "Poor Palatines" were some 13,000 Germans who migrated to England between May and November 1709. Their arrival in England, and the inability of the British Government to integrate them, caused a highly politicized debate over the merits of immigration. The English tried to settle them in England, Ireland and the Colonies.
The Weiser family was among the Poor Palatines.
Conrad Weiser
He was born as Johann Conrad Weiser on November 2, 1696 in the small village of Affstadt in Herrenberg in the Wurttemberg Duchy.
His father (Johann Conrad Weiser, Sr.) was stationed as a member of the Württemberg Blue Dragoons. Soon after Conrad's birth, his father was discharged from the Blue Dragoons and moved back to the family ancestral home in nearby Großaspach.
The boy's mother, Anna Magdalena, died of fever in 1709. Conrad Weiser (senior) wrote for his children, "Buried beside Her Ancestors, she was a god-fearing woman and much loved by Her neighbors. Her motto was Jesus I live for thee, I die for thee, thine am I in life and death."
The Palatine area had been ravaged by the French invasions and pestilence. The winter of 1709 was especially long and harsh.
Conrad Weiser and his family were among thousands of refugees who left German lands that year. They traveled down the Rhine River then sailed to England. Support had been offered for Protestant refugees.
Thousands of Palatine German refugees made their way to London seeking escape from the harsh conditions. There were so many that the English had to make a camp for them outside the London walls for the winter.
The following year in 1710, the Crown (under Queen Anne) arranged for transport in ten ships of the nearly 3,000 Germans to the New York colony. New Amsterdam had become New York in 1664.
The Crown supported the migration of the immigrants to help settle the New York colony. The plan was that they would work off their passage in a form of indentured service in camps devoted to producing ships' stores, such as tar and other materials. Later they would be allowed to trade their work for land.
Most of the Germans were first located in what were called the East and West Camps along the Hudson River, near Livingston Manor.
It was not until 1723 that some 100 heads of families received land grants in the central Mohawk Valley, under Governor Burnetsfield. The Mohawk River ran east to west between the Adirondack and the Catskill mountains across the middle of the colony.
Weiser senior managed to move his family to the Schoharie Valley earlier than that. Schoharie Creek was about 30 miles (48 km) southeast of the Mohawk Valley.
When Conrad was 16 his father agreed to a chief's proposal for the youth to live with the Mohawk in the upper Schoharie Valley. Weiser learned much about the Mohawk language and the customs of the Iroquois during his stay in the winter and spring of 1712-1713.
Cold, hunger and homesickness were among the hardships that he endured. Conrad Weiser returned to his own people toward the end of July 1713.
Weiser married Anna Eve Feck on November 22, 1720 at the age of 24. Anna was a daughter of Johan Peter Feg and Anna Maria Risch.
The couple followed the Susquehanna River south out of New York and settled their young family on a farm in Womelsdorf, Pennsylvania near present-day Reading in 1725. The couple had 14 children. Only 7 reached adulthood.
Weiser's colonial service began in 1731. The Iroquois sent Shikellamy, an Oneida chief, as an emissary to other tribes and the British. Shikellamy lived on the Susquehanna River at Shamokin village near present-day Sunbury, Pennsylvania.
An oral tradition holds that Weiser met Shikellamy while hunting. The two became friends in any case. When Shikellamy traveled to Philadelphia for a council with the province of Pennsylvania, he brought Weiser with him. The Iroquois trusted him and considered him an adopted son of the Mohawk.
Weiser impressed the Pennsylvania governor and council. His services as an interpreter were used heavily thereafter. Weiser also interpreted in a follow-up council in Philadelphia in August, 1732.
Shikellamy, Weiser and the Pennsylvanians negotiated a deed whereby the Iroquois sold the land drained by the Delaware River and south of the Blue Mountain during the treaty of Philadelphia in 1736.
Pennsylvania's agreement to purchase from them represented a significant change in the colony's policy toward the Native Americans since the Iroquois had not until then laid claim to this land.
William Penn had died in 1718. He had never taken sides in disputes between tribes.
The Pennsylvanians were favoring the Iroquois over the claims of the Lenape/Delawares for the same land by this formal purchase. This treaty by Penn's sons exacerbated Pennsylvania-Lenape relations. The Walking Purchase of the following year increased tension further.
The Lenape became disenchanted with the English colonials as a result. They sided with the French during the French and Indian Wars. The Lenape took part in actions against the colonists that caused many deaths. Penn's purchase persuaded the Six Nations of the Iroquois to continue to side with the British over the French.
The French and Indian War took place between 1754 and 1763. Three wars between Britain and France started in Europe, then moved to North America. Once the conflict broke out in America, it was fought by colonial militias. The French and Indian War broke this pattern.
Weiser acted as the interpreter for a number of treaties prior to the outbreak in hostility. He traveled to Onandaga, NY to negotiate for peace between the Iroquois and southern tribes during the winter of 1737.
He interpreted a treaty between the Iroquois and English colonials at Philadelphia in 1742. He acted as the interpreter for the Treaty of Lancaster between representatives of the Iroquois and the colonies of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia in 1744.
Pennsylvania sent Conrad to Logstown, a council and trade village on the Ohio River, in 1748. Virginia and Pennsylvania colonial officials acted as if they had been sold settlement rights to the Ohio Valley, but the Iroquois did not believe they had done so.
Weiser traveled again to Onondaga in 1750. He found the political dynamics in the Six Nations had shifted. Canasatego, always pro-British, had died. Several Iroquois tribes were leaning toward the French. The Mohawk remained pro-British.
Weiser was a member of a Pennsylvania delegation to Albany early in the summer of 1754. It was the eve of the eruption of the French and Indian War. The English government had called the meeting to win assurance of Iroquois support in the looming war with the French. The Iroquois and seven colonies sent representatives.
The council did not result in the treaty of support which the crown desired due to the divisions in the Native American tribes with respect for the British.
Each colony made the best deal it could with individual Iroquois leaders. No single person spoke for the Iroquois League. Bands acted independently in this and other wars.
Weiser negotiated one of the more successful agreements. Some lower-level chiefs deeded to the colony most of the land remaining in present-day Pennsylvania. This included the southwestern part of the land for the colony that Virginia also claimed.
The government appointed Weiser and Ben Franklin to lead construction of a series of forts between the Delaware River and the Susquehanna River in 1756.
Weiser attended a council at Easton, Pennsylvania in the fall of 1758. Colonial leaders from Pennsylvania met with the Iroquois and other Native American tribes. He helped to smooth over the tension.
The tribes in the Ohio Valley agreed to abandon support for the French with the Treaty of Easton. This collapse of Native American support was a factor in the French decision to demolish Fort Duquesne and withdraw from the Forks of the Ohio.
Weiser built on his knowledge of Native American languages and culture to become a key player in treaty negotiations, land purchases and the formulation of Pennsylvania's policies towards Native Americans. He helped to keep the powerful Iroquois allied with the British.
Weiser combined farming with other trades like many other colonists when he wasn't negotiating for a treaty. He was a tanner, merchant, land owner and speculator.
He drew the plan for the town of Reading in 1748, was a key figure in the creation of Berks County in 1752 and served as its chief judge until 1760. Conrad Weiser was also a teacher and a lay minister of the Lutheran Church. He was one of the founders of Trinity Church in Reading.

Weiser died on his farm on July 13, 1760. He was buried on a small hill slightly west of his home.
One Iroquois noted to a group of colonists, "We are at a great loss and sit in darkness... we cannot so well understand one another." Relations between the colonists and the Native Americans began to decline after his death.
The Conrad Weiser Homestead in Womelsdorf, PA continues to serve as an interpretive center for 18th century farming, political and colonial history. It hosts regular re-enactments, especially of events during the French and Indian War.
