... One couple is worthy of comment, the Elmores. 'Frederick Elmore' was the pseudonym of the journalist Samuel Marsden Knight, whose great uncle was the historical Rev.Samuel Marsden. Educated at Eton and Cambridge, Elmore had not intended to stay at Herrnhut: "I never heard of Herrn Huth (sic) until I was near Mt. Rouse, nor of the German parson (i.e. Krumnow-CM) and I determined to see the place. I never intended remaining more than a day or two... I thought Herrn Huth was inhabited by very simple-minded religious people, although labouring under many great delusions " he wrote in a letter of 3.11.1872 to his wife Louisa (nee Rohr). Louisa had come to Herrnhut at its foundation with her parents and after getting to know Elmore through his offer of English lessons, married him in 1871. http://members.datafast.net.au/boram/krumarch.htm
A 'search in page' for 'Elmore' finds a description of her early days in the settlement by Louisa, and also information about Fred/Samuel. It says he went to Herrnhut in 1870, at age 56, after the death of his first wife. 'Fred' became the schoolteacher and fell in love with one of his pupils, the 19yo Louisa. Fred and the pregnant Louisa eloped but later returned to Herrnhut. http://www.ic.org/icsa/docs/ICSA_eBook.pdf
