Joseph SPANGENBERG and Matthew REUTZ from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania kept a diary of their journeys. In one of the entries it said:
"On the morning of July 26, 1748 they came to a marked path. It brought them to a salt lick which is frequented by the elks and where they are usually shot by hunters. A kind spirit led them to the right way which they continued their journey, till they came in the evening to a German plantation. Here Adam ROEDER lives, whose mother, 86 years of age lives at Makuntsche and belongs to the Moravian congregation."
