The Moravians in Georgia
from their abode; for he was 〃a foolish; drunken man;〃 and she 〃a perfect
‘virago'; and the Sheriff is really afraid of her;〃 but on July 5th; 1805;
Lawson wrote to Cunow; 〃I am happy to inform you that after great
trouble and difficulty we have this day obtained possession of Mr。
Benzien's lots。〃
Feb。 17th; 1807; Christian Lewis Benzien; by his attorneys Woodruff
and Lawson; conveyed Town Lot No。 4; Second Tything; Anson Ward; to
Charles Odingsell; the consideration being 1;500; one hundred dollars in
cash; the rest secured by bond and mortgage; payable in one; two; and
three years; with 8 per cent interest from date。
In the same manner Town Lot No。 3 was sold to Worthington Gale;
March 14th; 1807; for 1;450。
Owing to 〃the distress of the times;〃 payment of these bonds was
slightly delayed; but by June; 1811; both were cancelled。
Although the two Town Lots thus brought 2;950; they had cost a
good deal in taxes and attorney's fees; and it is doubtful whether the
general treasury profited greatly by the investment; and certainly the men
who had lived and labored and suffered in Georgia were in no financial
way enriched thereby。
Christian Lewis Benzien died Nov。 13th; 1811; and the two Farm Lots
were transferred by will to John Gebhard Cunow of Bethlehem; Pa。; who
in March; 1822; deeded them to Lewis David de Schweinitz of Bethlehem;
Pa。
And here the two Farm Lots disappear from the records。 They had
never been available for farming purposes; and by degrees the timber was
stolen from them; so that it became wiser to let them go than to keep up
the taxes with no prospect of return。In course of time the title lapsed; and
the land passed uncontested into other hands。
