David Zeisberger lived in the Moravian(United Brethren) community of Herrnhut as a child, joining his parents in the colony of Georgia in 1738 and moving to Pennsylvania in 1740. In Pennsylvania he began learning native languages, which included two dialects of Delaware (Lenape) as well as Mohawk and other languages.
