Surnames: Lonas Lohnes Lones Mumbauer Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ihB.2ACI/4329 Message Board Post: I have found some records on the Lonas family that migrated to Greene Co. TN about 1802 form Shenandoah Co. VA. I believe Adam who was married in VA in 1796 was born 14 Oct. 1771 to Georg and Anna Rosina Lohnas and bp at Christ Evang. Lutheran Church in Trumbauersville Bucks Co. PA. This agrees with the 1789 will of George Lonas in Shenandoah Co. VA. I believe from other records that Georg was one of four sons who emigrated with his parents Georg and Catharina Elisabeth Lones. The sons I believe were Joh. Adam, Peter, George and Leonard. Adam and Peter appear in records at Germantown Ref. Church and at St. Paul's Lutheran Church Red Hill Montgomery Co. PA. Georg appears in records at Milford twp Bucks Co. PA before he and Leonard moved to VA about 1772-1774. In Hacker's book "Eighteenth Century Register of Emigrants from Southwest Germany" there is an entry for Johann Georg Lones wife and 4 sons from Persbach Rheinland-Pfalz Germany in 1751. I cannot seem to find that village. Does any one know where that place is? There is a Porrbach and a Potzbach that sound similar. Other families that may have connections are Mumbauer of Baumholder Germany and Scheid. Any help would be appreciated.
