Edward Langworthy was born in Savannah in 1738. Since he was born only five years after Georgia was settled, it is likely his parents were recruited from debtors' prisons or poorhouses back in London. Orphaned at a very young age, he lived and then later taught at the Bethesda Orphan House operated by George Whitefield.
