General Notes: Husband - Peter Loutzenhiser

---

In the spring of 1800 Peter and John Loutzenhiser, accompanied by their father, Joseph, removed from Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, to Mercer County, whither their brother Jacob had preceded them about three years. They were natives of Germany, and had immigrated to Westmoreland County with their parents in early youth, where their mother died when John was quite young. Their only sister married a Frenchman named Probst, of Westmoreland County, and re-mained there. Her husband was a member of the Lodge, Probst & Walker Land Company, which owned large amounts of land in the Shenango Valley, including the site on which Greenville was afterward laid out. Peter Loutzen-hiser was unmarried, and settled immediately west of the site of Greenville. His brother John settled in what is now the southwest corner of West Salem Township, northeast of Orangeville, at which point his brother Jacob had located in 1797. About two years after his settlement was effected Peter died, and willed his land to his father, who soon after traded it to John, and the latter located upon it, and resided there up to his death. His father spent the balance of his days at John's home. [HMC 1888, 1186]
