Johannes Leinbach came to America with his parents in 1723. On August 6, 1735, he married Anna Catharina Riehm. Johannes and Catharina became associated with the Moravians when they met Count Zinzendorf and his daughter Begigna in the early 1740's as they visited the Oley Valley.
In 1746, they moved to the Moravian town of Bethlehem. Later they were sent by the Moravians to Germantown (near Philadelphia) to take care of the children's institution there. They returned to Bethlehem a year later. Upon returning to the Oley Valley sometime after 1748, they lived on a farm inherited from his father. (The stone house in which they lived, known today as the Leinback-Knabb House, still stands in a modified form.)
Following his mother's death in 1765, Johannes decided to move to the new Moravian settlement of Wachovia in North Carolina. He died there after a stay of less than ten months.
