General Notes: Husband - Henry Locher


He came from Germany at the age of fifteen, in the year 1762, without money and near friends. He settled near Lancaster City, Pennsylvania, where by economy and industry he in time became a quite large real-estate owner just outside the city, owning and carrying on a hotel, tannery, and farm. He removed to Maryland, where he continued the tanning business for several years, and owned large real estate, but finally returned to Lancaster, where he died at the advanced age of ninety-two years.

He and his wife had four sons, and five daughters.
