The Rev. Mr. John Wesley’s description is as follows: “_New Ebenezer_, to which the _Saltzburghers_ removed in _March, 1736_, lies six Miles Eastward from the _Old_, on a high bluff, near the _Savannah_ River. Here are some Tracts of Fruitful Land, tho’ the greatest Part of that adjoining to the Town, is Pine-barren. The Huts, 60 in number, are neatly and regularly built; the little Piece of Ground allotted to each for a Garden, is everywhere put to the best Use, no spot being left unplanted. Nay, even one of the main Streets, being one more than was as yet wanted, bore them this year a crop of _Indian Corn_.” An Extract of the Rev. Mr. John Wesley’s Journal, &c., p. 60. Bristol, n. d.
