General Notes: Husband - Peter Loux

---

The progenitor of the American branch of the family, he was born in Germany in the year 1706. He came to America in the ship "Friendship," arriving in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, September 20, 1738; he was probably unmarried when he arrived. He settled in Bedmister township, Bucks County, about 1749, and in 1762 purchased from Chief Justice Allen one hundred and eighty-five acres of land, and in 1781 purchased another farm in the same township for his second son, Jacob Loucks. He resided on the former piece of property many years before the deed was executed; he probably purchased it on the installment plan, as did nearly all of the settlers on Allen's plot of six thousand six hundred and three acres in Bedminster, paying down a small amount and the deed being executed when payments were all made. He was a member of the Tohickon Reformed church. He died on the homestead in Bedminster township, near Deep Run Mennonite church.
