      LOUCKS GENEALOGY

      JOHN DIETRICH HAD SON JOHANN ADAM #2DTP-9XT (Loucks Genealogy, page 12). ALSO LISTED IS SON JOHN GEORG LAUCHS #LZ1R-651. John George is listed in Loucks Genealogy, pages 12 and 13. BOTH MEN HAVE A SON NAMED JOHANN JOST "JOSEPH SR" ??

      Johann Adam: son Joseph Joost Loucks UEL #GQ5X-6TF
      Johan Georg: son Joseph Johann Joost Loucks Sr #242T-FBM

      GQ5X-6TF seems to be wrongly linked to this line under Johann Adam as a Tory.

      life sketch
      Johann Adam was the second generation in America that came from Germany. Some of the Loucks (Laux) families were split on their loyalities before the Revolutionary War. Some were Torries, but Johann Adam was a freedom fighter. He was a leader among his people: he hosted the 1st meeting of the Committee of Safety of Tryon County at his house on August 27, 1774. A NY highway marker shows the location where the house stood (still there?). It was known as the Loucks Tavern, and after the war it was an inn where Johann Adam served as the Justice of the Peace. Johann Adam was a Private in the Revolutionary War and fought in the Battle of Oriskany. Not only did he serve, but his sons Joost and Peter served too.

      Johann married Catherine Snell and they had 13 children!!

      His father-in-law, John D Snell, also served in the Battle of Oriskany with his 7 sons. Six of his sons lost their lives in that battle. It must have been a sad time for Catherine and her father right after the war.

      Johann Adam had a will that mentioned his daughter Ann C, the late wife of Julius Bush and her son Hendrick Bush.

      In his 1790 census, it shows Johann owned 1 slave! Did not know this before now.

      Johann Adam is my 6x great-grandfather: Contributor Renee Bartlett # LY2K-FLL

      Family Search #GQ5X-6TF

      I keep putting the wrong records on the wrong Joseph. Family Search Joseph #GQ5X-6TF should be the Revolutionary War soldier, or Joseph #242T-FBM should be changed to 1756.
