d at Ephrata, and the two Tannebergers at Germantown. In
1741, Haberecht joined the Moravians who were building in "the forks
of the Delaware", and became one of the first members of the Bethlehem
Congregation. In 1745, David Tanneberger married Regina Demuth, who
had lost her husband the previous year, and they ultimately moved to
Bethlehem also. Meyer never renewed his association with the Moravians.

Before the four started to Pennsylvania, another member had taken the
longer journey, and had been laid beside his brethren in the Savannah
cemetery. This was George Haberland, who died September 30th, from flux,
a prevalent disease, from which almost all of the colonists suffered at
one time or another. He had learned much during his life in Georgia,
had been confirmed in June with his brother Michael, and had afterward
served acceptably as a "Diener" of the Congregation.

to perfect themselves in the language, and begin their missionary work.
As some of the congregation had already left Savannah, and others were

was "Aeltester", especially as at first he returned to Savannah every
Saturday to hold the Sunday services. In November he and Boehner spent
several weeks in town helping the carpenters raise the frame of a large
house they were building, and when they returned to the Indians in
January, 1738, Peter Rose, his wife, and surviving daughter went with
them.

Friday, December 13th, John Wesley left Savannah, to return to England.
His popularity had long since waned, in the face of his rigid insistance
on ecclesiastical rules, and it was said "the Brethren alone can

to provoke a spiteful woman, a niece of Mr. Causton, the Magistrate, and
so greatly did the persecution rage under her influence, that Wesley's
chance of doing further good was ruined, and nothing was left but
for him to withdraw. The M
