There is a marker in the Old Pilgrim Church Cemetery that was placed there in 1979 that reads:On September 26, 1737, Johann Georg Conrath, Sr came from Pfalz, Gemany to Pennsylvania seeking freedom to worship God, fleeing from despotism, and tyranny and for teh pursuit of education. His son, Johann Adam Conrad, Sr. was born Aug 5, 1738 and baptized into Christ Lutheran Church in York, PA. Adam Sr. & Christina Boden Conrad came from PA to Pilgrim in North Carolina c.1763. Their eldest son, Hans Heinrich (Henry) Conrad 1762 - 1834 was a deacon in Pilgrim Church in 1811; his wife Susannah Frank Conrad 1765-1838, Dau. of William and Barbara WALK Frank. Their eldest son, John David Conrad 1788-1860 was a constablein Davidson County; his wife Eve Hedrick Conrad 1792-1849, dau of Adam & Barbara Hege Hedrick. Their children: Alexander Conrad 18111-1878, John Henderson Conrad 1815-1898, Mary C. Bowers 1819 - 1891, Henry Hedrick Conrad 1824-1893, Elizabeth C Helper 1835 -c 1861. Many of our noble and beloved forebears rest in this chruch yard. We honor their memory and the heritage they passed on to us. Hope that the reference to William and Barbara Walk Frank is of help.
