George Neisser, the first schoolmaster of
Bethlehem, Couna., was born on April 11, 1715,
at Sehlen (or at Neutilachein ?) and went
to Herrnhut with his parents in 1723, & his
younger brother Augustin (born 1717 in Sehlen)
and their grandmother Judith, m.n. Jäsehke.
His father, also George Neisser, was a stone-mason
and died in Berthelsdorf in 1752. His
mother, Susanna m.n. Mosehke of Septleben,
died in Herrnhut March 24, 1726, probably
the first married sister to die there.
George Neisser, the future schoolmaster,
was one of those who sailed for Georgia with
Kishop David Nitschmann (the [?] in
which the Wesleys & Ingham also exiled)
as was also his younger brother Augustin, 1735.
In February 1737 Toeltschig sent him to
Pennsylvania to report to Spangenberg at
Wiezuers about the troubles of the Moravians
in Georgia. He was one of the Moravians en-
gaged in the creation of the Whitefield House at
Nazareth, and then worked for a Time for
Henry Antos, but rejoined the Brethren in
Register.
