Conrad was an Associator during the American Revolutionary War serving on the Committee of Observation of Frederick County, Maryland, which was organized to keep a watchful eye on the actions of the British and Tories.

Conrad wrote his will (Liber G.M.R.B., No. 1, Folio 371, Frederick County Registrar of Wills) naming only seven of his children (Daniel, Cornelius, Henry, Jacob, Elizabeth, Susannah, and Catherine).
