From the Moravian Diary, we know:

"May18. I kept the funeral of the wife of Mr. Henry Schor who lives eight miles from Bethania on Jacob Conrad’s place on the river. She had been sick for seven months. The sermon, in the English language, was preached at the home; the interment was five miles from there, toward Bethania, at Schor’s former farm. She was buried near the grave of one of her little sons, (he was three years old). The deceased was a Love, from Virginia; her husband is a brother of our Sr. Lehman."

Have begun looking at land records in hopes of finding both the Jacob Conrad place on the river and Schor's former farm near Bethania. Have found deeds reflecting indebtedness at the time of the death of Henry's wife. Jacob Conrad purchased this land located on Fries Creek at the Yadkin. Is this why the Schor's were living at the Conrad place?

Would love to talk to anyone with knowledge of the farm mentioned above or the old cemetery that might be located thereon.
