Schweinitz； who had returned to Germany in 1798； requested Matthew
McAllister to take charge of the matter； but McAllister； having made some
inquiries； reported that the man named John Robinson； who lived on the
premises； was likely to make trouble； and that as he himself was the only
Judge in the district it would be better to put the case into the hands of
some one else； and leave him free to hear it。Cunow therefore asked
George Woodruff to act as attorney； to which he agreed； requesting that
John Lawson be associated with him； which was done the following year。
Hans Christian Alexander von Schweinitz died Feb。 26th； 1802； the
title to the Savannah Lots passing by will to Christian Lewis Benzien； of
Salem； North Carolina； who however requested Cunow to continue to look
after them。
The Agents had no light task in ejecting John Robinson and his wife

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。
