About Johann Jacob Schrack, Sr.

Intrumental in bringing the Rev. H.M.M. to the Province of Pennsylvania. (see timeline)

The Schracks ran an Inn in Montgomery Co that was often referred to as "the trap", hence the village acquired the name "Trappe." The location is now known as Collegeville. The Schracks had very close connections with the family of Henry Melchoir Muhlenberg, father of the Lutheran Church in America, whose principal congregation, the Augustus Lutheran Congregation, was nearby. In fact, Johann Jacob Schrack was responsible ( ~• or intrumental in) for bringing Muhlenberg to America in 1742.
