p. 80: Many Dunkers emigrated from the Palatinate in 1720-1 and settled on the Pequea and at Muelbach or Mill Creek on the Cocalico Creek. Amont them was Conrad Beissal, who located at Muelbach in 1721. He separated from the Dunkers because he believed the seventh day of the week to be the true Sabbath. In 1725 he retired from the Muelbach settlement and lived for some time as a hermit on the banks of the Cocalico. When his abode became dknown, others who had adopted his views settled around him. Thus arose the religious society of the Seventh Day Baptists. His successor was Peter Miller.
p. 181-2: Beissal, a man of unusual abilities, was born 1690 at Eberbach in the Palatinate. He came to PA in 1720. He lived the life of a hermit on the Cocalico River. He was a Baptist convert. He attracted others to his way of life -- some of the leaders of the Dunkards, Kalkloser, Valentine Mack, and John Hildebrand
A convent was built called Kedar and in 1738 a monastery. Conrad Beissal was called Gottricht Friedsam.
