Life Synopsis of Matthaeus Nading

Matthaeus was born in the area now known as Germany in 1756. Before his twenty-first birthday world events forced him to become a Hessian mercenary soldier during the American Revolutionary War and endure the terrors of war on the high seas and up and down the American continent from New York to Georgia.

After being captured near Charleston, South Carolina, he managed to join a thriving Moravian (German) outpost on the American frontier. There he built a new life for himself and began a family. As the result of injuries sustained in a wagon accident he died a little over 50 years later in 1807 in Salem, North Carolina.
