General Notes: Husband - Peter Loucks
His grandfather emigrated from Germany to America in 1759 and settled in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
He moved in 1800 from Bucks County to south-western Pennsylvania, and settled first just across Jacobs Creek in Fayette County, on a farm where later was located McClure & Co.'s coke-works. There he remained a year. He then purchased eighty acres of land of John Hugus, with a cabin on it, into which he moved. Two years later he bought another eighty-acre tract, included in the present town of Scottdale, of a Mr. Galloway. At that time an old house, stable, and blacksmith-shop were on this place, all standing on the site of what became the Methodist Episcopal Church lot.
About 1800 he went west, to Fayette County and settled in Tyrone township, but soon moved to Westmoreland County and located in East Huntingdon township on a farm, where he resided until his death.
He purchased a farm of one hundred and seventy-six acres and fifty-nine perches in Plumstead township, and resided thereon until April 1, 1800, when he sold his farm and removed with his wife's brothers-Henry and Martin Overholt-to Fayette County, removing later to Westmoreland County, where he settled near the Overholts, on the site of what became Scottdale, where he purchased one hundred and sixty acres and engaged in farming. He was a member of the Mennonite church.
