Biography

Husband of Anna Barbara SCHMIDT, who is buried at Bethania Moravian Graveyard. She was the first person buried at Friedberg Moravian Graveyard. This Bio was taken from the Hofmann Family tree on the Family Search website: 'Johann Peter & Anna Barbara were Moravian. He was a tailor. Emigrated from Alsace-Lorraine on 17 Aug 1733 on the ship Samuel. About 1734 they settled in East Cocalico Twp, Lancaster Co., Pa and later moved with most of their children to Heidelberg Twp, Berks Co., Pa. Sons Peter and Christian moved to North Carolina, and Johann Peter and the rest of his family joined them in May 1765. In 1753, a Moravian center was established in Salem, (now Forsyth Co.), North Carolina. This is likely what brought the Frey family to North Carolina. Their North American membership had been previously centered in Bethlehem, Northampton Co., Pa. '

Death

Place: Uncertain

Although it appears that he died in North Carolina, given the gravestone there, the record shows that he went to Germany and died there leaving his wife and children.^[4] It is possible that the headstone in the Moravian cemetery may only be a memorial.
