Hello Everyone! It has been a while since I posted my surnames and since there are some new people I thought I would get this out in front of everyone again. I don't remember if I have thanked everyone that has helped so Far if I haven't I apologize for my neglect and would like to thank you all for your assistance. The idea is that JOHANN CONRAD LORSBACH/LORSCHBACH/LORSBACHIO is the emigrant and GEORGE (abt. 1755) and HENRY LUSHBAUGH (b. 1751) are his sons. But that still to be proven. I am looking for information on JOHANN CONRAD LORSBACH/LORSCHBACH/LORSBACHIO. He was born in Lampertheim on Dec. 09, 1722. JOHANN CONRAD was the Twin of CARL LUDWIG LORSBACH/LORSCHBACH/LORSBACHIO. JOHANN CONRAD acted as a Godfather 16 Sept. 1729. By that time he was 7 years old. The entry read "JOHANN CONRAD the little son of the late parson JOHANN HENRICH of this village....." The family that he acted as godfather for was JOHANN GEORG and ANNA MARITHA HAUCK. The little HAUCK was also named JOHANN CONRAD, of course. The last church record found in Germany for JOHANN CONRAD LORSBACH is in 1737. So close as I can figure is that somewhere between 1737 and 1748 JOHANN CONRAD LORSBACH immigrated to America. I know it was 1748 because that was the year that JOHANN CONRAD married SUSANNA HERB in the Faulkner Swamp Reformed Church on November 17, 1748. There is no indication right now that JOHANN and SUSANNA knew each other before moving to this country. JOHANN CONRAD LORSBACH/LORSCHBACH/LORSBACHIO is found in Sower's Newspaper 16, October 1749, the following appeared: "JOHANN CONRAD LORSCHBACH, near the stone church. Old Goshengoppen." The only other reference to JOHANN CONRAD LORSBACH/LORSCHBACH/LORSBACHIO is in the will of JACOB HAUCK. I would like to find a copy of that other LORSBACH family members may be mentioned in it. After this JOHANN and his wife SUSANNA just disappear. I don't know of any children, tax-records or any entry in some death register. The idea occurs to me that maybe HENRY and GEORGE could not remember their parents because they became orphans when they were still to young to remember what had happened to them. This brings back something I heard once about 2 little Loshbaugh boys were the only survivors of a whole family and where helped along by other people. Since I don't recall a time period for that story or really much more than that perhaps the story was about GEORGE and HENRY. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Okay now on to HENRY LUSHBAUGH born 1751 in Northumberland, PA (I think has not really been proved yet). I do know that he lived in Lycoming, PA in 1820. Once believed to be the immigrant ancestor from Alsace-Lorraine or from German-speaking area of Switzerland. Served in the 12th Pennsylvania German Regiment for three years enlisting from Sudbury, Penn in 1776 first wife CATHERINE from whom our Loshbaughs descend. Was a private in CAPT. JOHN HARRIS' company COL WILLIAM COOK'S 12th Pennsylvania regiment. Battles of Piscataway and Ash Swamp Revolutionary War. He enlisted a Sunbury, Pennsylvania in 1776 and served 3 years. He was a shoemaker and a farmer. That is about all that I have. It is more than what I did have. Some of the information came from those of you that have helped me other is following leads that may have been provided knowingly or unknowingly. Thanks! Bob Loshbaugh from out ‘ere in California
