An Early Moravian Family of Tuscarawas County, Ohio
Casper Heinrich Van Lehn was born in 1767 in Preusen. He married Anna Maria Born (born in Pennsylvania in 1766) in 1799 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. They joined the Sharon Moravian Church in Ohio in 1812. Descendants lived in Ohio, Missouri, Kansas, California, Iowa, Texas, and elsewhere.

Dover
In 1807, Christian Deardorff and Jesse Slingluff set out for the Ohio frontier. Before leaving, the men laid out the plat of a village that would sit at the banks of the Tuscarawas River. Over the next 10 years as Deardorff toiled away in his bachelor cabin, he held on to the dream of building his vision. The original plat map the two men devised contained 256 lots with land set aside for churches, schools, and a spacious downtown square. Today, over 200 years after Slingluff and Deardorff filed their plat at Zanesville, Dover continues to reflect their vision of a pleasant little town situated on the Tuscarawas River.
Blackcoats Among the Delaware
Thousands of pages of diaries and hundreds of letters serve as David Zeisberger's testament to 63 years as a Moravian missionary among North American Indians. This unrivaled record of Indian culture and colonial life provides firsthand evidence of the 18th-century struggle between the American Indians and their British and American adversaries. Readers of Blackcoats among the Delaware will find new and interesting historical data taken from recently discovered correspondence and previously untranslated diaries. Olmstead also presents a fascinating analysis of Zeisberger's unique approach to Christian philosophy vis-à-vis native Indian religion and culture.
Ohio Moravian Music
An examination of pre-twentieth-century Ohio Moravian music and its development in the Tuscarawas Valley in Indian missions that later become white settlements. Extensive research of period writings and oral history interviews and discussions bring to light many musicians whose names had been lost over the decades and musical compositions heretofore unknown.
