Weiser, (Johann) Conrad (1696–1760)

American colonial public official in Berks County, Pennsylvania from 1729. Familiar with the language and customs of the local Iroquois Indians, he was frequently used as an official interpreter in government dealings with them. Owing to his efforts, peace conferences were held in Philadelphia in 1731 and 1736.

Born in Germany, Weiser emigrated to America 1710, settling in New York's Hudson Valley. Weiser served as judge of Berks County 1752–60 and as colonel of the militia.
