Hello Listers! For years I have searched for the answers to many questions. One of the problems that I have is that there are around 70 variations on my surname over the years (I’ve listed them at the bottom). Some are still around and some have gone by the way side. Not to mention the variations brought about by the use of computers and type writers. Over the years there has been much assumed but there exists no physical evidence. It is the evidence that I am looking for right now. I implore each of you to assist me in resolving these questions. I am seeking the parents and siblings of Henry Lushbaugh. Henry Lushbaugh was born in 1751 and according to his Revolutionary War pension records he was born in PA.. He enlisted in 1776 serving in Capt. John Harris' company of Col William Cook's 12th Pennsylvania German Regiment for three years enlisting from Sudbury, PA. He was at the battles of Piscataway and Ash Swamp He married Catharine Keefer a daughter of Martin Keffer and Mary Eve Lorentz both Keefer’s are of Strassburg, Germany. Soon after leaving the Army he went up the Susquehonna River and founded a place called "Lushbaugh’s Landing" Henry was a shoemaker and a farmer and died in Lycoming Co. PA some time after 1834. Lushbaugh is sometimes spelled Lorschbach. In about 1835 filed for pension in Lycoming County, PA. Next is Johann Conrad Lorsbach one of 10 children and the twin of Carl Ludwig Lorsbach. Johann Conrad is suspected to be the father of Henry Lushbaugh. I need to get information on Johann’s descendants! I need to prove or disprove the connection. Germany: 1722 December 09, Johan Conrad Lorsbach is born in Lampertheim, Germany 1728 Aug. 31, Johann Conrad’s Father dies. Months after his father’s death his mother, Anna Christina, married Johann Wilhelm Bechtold 1729 Sept.16, Acted as God Father (at age 7) for the family of Johann Georg Hauck and Anna Maritha Hauch. The little one was also named Johann Conrad, of course. 1730 An older sister Anna Christina Lorsbach married Johann Leonhard Grass a man from Alzey 1731 Johann Conrad’s Grand father dies 1735 Johann Conrad’s mother dies 1736 First Admission to Holy Communion 1746 Johann Conrad’s Step Father dies AMERICA: November 17, 1748 marries Susanna Herb at Faulker Swamp Reformed Church, Montgomery, Pa., 1749 Oct 16, there appears an ad in Sower's Newspaper stating Johann Conrad Lorschbach, near the stone church, Old Goshenhoppen 2/2/1756 Acted as a witness to the will of Jacob Hauck of "Oxforth" Township, Essex Co. in New Jersey? Johann Conrad signs it as Conrad Lorsbach. Proved (in Hunterdon Co.) March 14, 1757. Susanna had an illegitimate son George Adam Gabel February 10, 1762, the father was rumored to be Johann Gabel. What happened to Johann Conrad between 1736 and when he show up in America in 1748. How did he get here? When did he get here? What about children between 1748 and 1762? Henry Lushbaugh fits in being born in 1751 three years after Johann and Susanna are married. Where was Johann Conrad Lorsbach between Feb. 2 1756 and Feb. 10, 1762 (or perhaps 9 months before the birth May 1761)? Did Johann and Susanna get a divorce? Did Johann take a trip perhaps back to Germany on some sort of family business? Or did Johann pass away some time between 1756 and 1762? Where was Johann buried? Did he move up on the Susquehonna River with Henry Lushbaugh? What happened to Susanna? Well that provides the information that I have and just the beginning of the questions. I hope that someone out there can give me some answers. Thank you all for your help.
