Jungman, John George 1720-1808

Clergyman; born in Hockheimer, Germany, April 19, 1720; became a lay evangelist to the Indians in 1742; ordained a deacon in the Moravian Church in 1770. Jungman was one of the earliest pioneers in the territory of the Ohio. In 1781 Jungman was taken prisoner by the Hurons and confined in the fort at Detroit. At the close of the war of the Revolution Jungman continued his missions among the Indians in Michigan, but, broken in health, he was obliged to give up his labors in 1785. He died in Bethlehem, Pa., July 17, 1808.
