A Biography of John Michael Graff

John Michael Graff, Moravian bishop, was born in Saxe-Meiningen, Germany, Sept. 28, 1714. He was a graduate of the University of Jena, emigrated to America in 1751, and was a missionary in the Moravian church in Pennsylvania and adjacent territory. He was in charge of the Moravian church, Nazareth, Pa., 1753-61, and during the French and Indian wars prevented by diplomacy the threatened attack of the enemy on his parishioners. In 1761 he was transferred to the settlement of Moravians at Salem, N.C., and in 1773 was made a member of the southern governing board. He was consecrated to the episcopacy June 6, 1773, and labored with great success. He died at Salem, N.C., Aug. 28, 1782.
