This broke Ingham's heart, and affected his mind, so that his last days
were very sad. He passed away in 1772, and his societies
gradually merged themselves into other churches.
John Toeltschig, Ingham's friend in Georgia and his co-laborer in Yorkshire,
came to England in November, 1739, in company with Hutton,
who had been to Germany to form a closer acquaintance with the Moravians.
After the debt to the Trustees was paid, Toeltschig had eagerly planned
new things for Georgia, -- extension of work among the Indians,
a settlement further up the Savannah River, the strengthening
of the Savannah Congregation, from which missionaries could be drawn
and by which they should be supported while laboring among the heathen tribes.
He offered to return to America at once, ready for any duty,
but requesting that he might not be sole financial manager again,
as he had found it most difficult to attend to those duties,
and at the same time share in the spiritual work.
The elders of the Church, after carefully weighing all the circumstances,
decided not to send him back to Georgia, but that he should go to England,
to labor in the Fetter Lane Society, and among its friends.
