daughter of David Nitschmann, sen., a distinguished deaconess of the Moravian Church, was born Nov. 24, 1715, in Moravia; died May 21,1760, at Herrnhut, in Saxony. From her fourteenth year she devoted herself to the service of God among her own sex with great earnestness and zeal, laboring in Germany, France, England, and America. She was possessed of extraordinary gifts, and composed many beautiful hymns which are still in use in the Moravian Church. (E. DE S.)
