David was a Moravian clergyman and missionary among the native American tribes who resided in the 13 colonies. He established communities of Munsee converts to Christianity in the valley of the Muskingum River of Ohio. He spent 62 years, except for a few short intervals, as a missionary to the Indians.
In 1781 he was arrested and detained by the British. While he was detained 96 of his native converts were murdered by the Pennsylvania militiamen - an event known as the Gnadenhutten Massacre.
In 1782 he returned close to Goshen to live with the remaining native converts.
He died in 1808 at the age of 87 and is buried in Goshen.
