CORNELIUS CONRAD.
This Friend, a grandson of Dennis Conrad, who came from Crefelt, in Germany, was born in Abington, Philadelphia county, about the year 1712. His father died when he was quite young, and in the liberty which this event gave him, he ran out from the simplicity of the Truth. Yet, under the visitations of divine Grace, he was preserved from gross evils, and with advancing years, his conduct became more steady, and his conversation more sedate.
