In 1765 Bishop Ettwein went from Bethlehem to Savannah to look after the
property. He found that the large house on Spangenberg's lot had been
condemned as ruinous and pulled down. Some one had built a small house
on the other end of the same lot, and it was supposed to pay 4 Pounds
a year ground rent, but the family living there was very poor, and
Habersham had been unable to collect anything. By permission a
poor woman had fenced in the Nitschmann lot, and was using it as a
kitchen-garden, rent free. The title to the farm lots was in jeopardy,
for a certain Alderman Becker in London claimed that the Trustees
had given him a tract, including these and many other farms, but the
settlers thereon were making a strong fight to hold their property, in
which they were finally successful.

At the time of Frederick William Marshall's visit to Savannah in 1775,
the two farm lots were reported to have some good timber, even if they
were not of much use otherwise, and the town lots had increased in value
with the growth of the town. Marshall thought the latter could again
be used for residence, and as a centre for such missionary work as was
already begun by Mueller, Wagner and Broesing, but the Revolutionary War
put an end to their efforts.

At this point in the records appears a peculiar uncertainty as to the
identity of the owner of the David Nitschmann lots. The fact that there
were three David Nitschmanns in the active service of the Moravian
Church during a number of years after its renewal in Herrnhut affords
ample opportunity for confusion, but one would not expect to find it
in the minds of their contemporaries. But even such a man as Frederick
William Marshall wrote, "The Deeds to these two lots, Nos. 3 and 4, are

of Bishop D'd Nitschmann, who passed away in Bethlehem) and it would
be well if something were done about them. I do not know what can be
