NITSCHMANN, John, Moravian bishop, born in Schoenau, Moravia, in 1703; died in Zeist, Holland, 6 May, 1772. He was one of the descendants of the Ancient Brethren's church who forsook their native country, relinquished all their possessions, and settled at Herrnhut, in Saxony, in order that they might enjoy religious liberty. In 1741 he was consecrated to the episcopacy, and eight years later he came to this country in order to supply the place of Augustus Spangenberg as presiding bishop. He returned to Europe in 1751. Nitschmann was endowed with rare executive abilities, and noted by his simplicity, his great kindness, and his grace of bearing. As a public speaker he was very popular.
