HENRY MELCHIOR (1711–1787) , See also:German-See also:American Lutheran clergyman, was See also:born in See also:Einbeck, See also:Hanover, on the 6th of See also:September 1711. When he was twelve years old his See also:father, a member of the See also:city See also:council, died. The son entered the university of See also:Gottingen in 1735, and his See also:work among the poor of Gottingen led to the See also:establishment of the See also:present See also:orphan See also:house there. In 1738 he went to See also:Halle to finish his theological studies; he was a devoted worker hi the Franckesche Stiftung, which later served as a partial See also:model for his See also:great-See also:grandson's community at St Johnland, See also:Long See also:Island. He was See also:deacon at Grosshennersdorf, in Upper See also:Lusatia, in 1739–1741. In 1742, in reply to a See also:call from the Lutheran churches of See also:Pennsylvania, he went to See also:Philadelphia, and was joined from See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

time to time, especially in 1745, by students from Halle. Muhlenberg occupied himself more particularly with the See also:congregation at New See also:Providence (now Trappe), though he was practically overseer of all the Lutheran churches from New See also:York to See also:Maryland. In 1748 he organized the first Lutheran See also:synod in See also:America. Muhlenberg married in 1745 See also:Anna Maria Weiser, daughter of J. See also:Conrad Weiser, a well-known See also:Indian interpreter, and herself said to have had Indian See also:blood in her See also:veins; by her he had eleven See also:children. Throughout the See also:War of See also:Independence he and his sons (see below) were prominent patriots. He died at Trappe on the 7th of See also:October 1787.

Church, of which he has been called the See also:Patriarch, can hardly be exaggerated; but his example in See also:preaching in See also:English as well as in German was, unfortunately for the growth of the Lutheran Church, not followed by his immediate successors. He had no sympathy with the Old See also:Lutherans and their strict orthodoxy—on the contrary he was friendly with the Reformed congregations, and with See also:George See also:Whitefield and the Tennents.
