Adam Spach was born in 1720 at Pfaffenhofen, Alsace, Germany. He and his father immigrated to America in 1733. When they reached America, he was bound out for six years to pay part of the passage. At the end of the six years he settled at Manakosy, Maryland. He married Maria Elisabeth Hueter in 1752, at Frederickstown, Maryland. They had nine children, 1753-1771. They moved to North Carolina in 1753 and settled near Wachovia, North Carolina. He died at Friedberg, North Carolina, in 1801.
Members of the Moravian Church who settled in North Carolina were meticulous record keepers, documenting almost every aspect of their day-to-day lives. A significant part of those records is preserved in the form of photographs. Moravian photographers-both professional and amateur-created an enduring legacy by capturing their society and surroundings in faithful detail. Their photographs, which record the towns of Bethabara, Bethania, Salem, Friedberg, Hope, and Friedland, as well as other communities throughout the state, provide a rare glimpse into the historic world of Moravian life in North Carolina.
The immigrant ancestor, Gasper Shmit (Schmitt) (1723-1784) was born in Germany. He came to America at the age of 27 in 1750 from Inglesheim, Germany on the ship Phoenix.
