| Description |
English: John Ettwein, 1754. Artwork by John Valentine Haidt. Portrait of Bishop John Ettwein. John Ettwein (1721-1802) and his wife came to America in 1754. Their portraits were painted by a fellow traveler, John Valentine Haidt, supposedly during the voyages.
In 1772, John Ettwein and his group of some 200 Lenape and Mohican Christians traveled west along The Great Shamokin Path from their village of Friedenshütten (Cabins of Peace) near modern Wyalusing on the North Branch Susquehanna River to their new village of Friedensstadt (City of Peace) on the Beaver River in southwestern Pennsylvania.
During the Revolutionary War, Ettwein was the chief spokesman to the Continental Congress and other officials on behalf of the Moravians in Pennsylvania. He was consecrated a Bishop in 1784, and became head of the governing board of the Moravian Church in America. Oil on canvas, 25 in. x 17.5 in. Moravian Historical Society, Nazareth. |
