Johann Christoph Kunze, 1744-1807, Lutheran clergyman, was born in Saxony but was called to Philadelphia in 1770 as coadjutor to Henry Melchior
Muhlenberg, whose second daughter he married. In 1784 he went to New York as pastor of Christ Church. Kunze was a master of
various languages and literatures, including Greek, Latin, Hebrew, Arabic and Italian, and a student of astronomy, medicine
and numismatics.
