Weiser, Conrad 1696-

Pioneer; born in Germany in 1696; emigrated to New York in 1729; removed to Pennsylvania in 1733. Through his influence with the Six Nations on the one hand, and the colonial governments of Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland, Virginia, and Carolina, on the other, he succeeded in deferring the alliance between the French and the Indians until the American colonists had grown strong enough to successfully defend themselves.
