General Notes: Husband - John Lostetter

---

The Lostetter family in America came originally from Holland in the persons of five brothers and two sisters, who crossed the ocean in 1742 to become citizens of the English Colonies. The male portion of the family took part in the French and Indian War, and were serving among the colonial troops at the Battle of Quebec. A few years later, when the colonists asserted their inalienable rights, the Lostetter family again showed that they were descended from fighting blood by doing valiant service in the cause of Liberty. The War of the Revolution separated the family of seven children, and they never were gathered together around one fireside afterwards; their descendants may be found throughout the southern and western States.

He was a millwright by trade, following that throughout the prime of his life in Huntington County, Virginia, but spending the latter portion of his life in western Pennsylvania. He was a loyal, patriotic citizen, and managed his business affairs with more than usual discretion and good judgment, accumulating a competence that comfortably supported him the last years of his life. He was a Jacksonian Democrat, and in the days of slave trouble warmly espoused the principles of the Abolition party. His religion was that of the Catholic Church.
