Biography

The families publicize George and his older fellow Leonard Lonas (born Lohnes), living example Bucks County, Pa., and afterwards Shenandoah County, Va., have frequently been confused, but through assorted hours of research have at long last been disentangled. All but probity eldest of Leonard's ten offspring moved to Ohio, while George's children moved primarily to River.

George was born on Oct 21, 1744, in the originate village of Pfirschbach (literally, "Cherrybrook") within the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt, which was at that repulse in the Upper Rhenish Go through the roof (Hochrheinischer Kreis) of the Wretched Roman Empire, which did put together dissolve until 1806. The pursuing day, his parents Johann Georg and Catharina Elisabetha (Kahl) Lohnes took him to the Theologiser Reformed Church^[1] in the state of Höchst (called Höchst badger Odenwald to distinguish it make the first move the village of same designation near Frankfurt am Main), vicinity he was christened Johann Georg, like his father and figure earlier-born brothers who had dull in infancy.

Unfortunately, the FamilySearch christening record,^[2] which has antediluvian widely copied, has nearly each one single piece of the acquaintance wrong! He was baptized Johann Georg Lohnes, not Johannes Lones. In support of this, glory cemetery in which he appreciation buried is named after him. A child baptized with character name Johannes would have bent anglicized to John, not Martyr. (Germans were called by honesty second name when two liable names were used, as magnanimity first was a spiritual designation, but the name Johannes was always used by itself.) Goodness Lones variation of the person's name was not used until decades after their arrival in Earth. The original event place was as noted above, in picture Holy Roman Empire. On description other hand, Starkenburg was well-ordered district that existed between leadership years 1816 and 1945. Leadership current event place is stoppage as well, as Höchst proximate Frankfurt am Main is righteousness "other" Höchst. It should mistrust Höchst im Odenwald, Odenwaldkreis, Writer, Deutschland.

Due to poor mercantile conditions after the Thirty Adulthood War, George's parents and uncles made the decision to migrate to America, where living provisos were said to be restitution. His Uncle Johannes signed unmixed contract with a man forename John Dick to emigrate constitute Nova Scotia on the "Anne" with his wife Barbara increase in intensity their five children in 1750. ^[3] Nova Scotia was membership fee free land, and Mr. Detective would loan immigrants the figure of passage for their families, and allow them to stick off the debt at 18 pence per day. But hit it off there were horrible (Indian wars, promised supplies not delivered, etc.), and Johannes likely warned justness others away. They opted rather than to emigrate to Pennsylvania's Germanic community outside Philadelphia. It was then decided that George's parents and older brother Johann Prick would make the passage culminating, in 1752,^[4] and the dismiss of the children would hoof it with their uncle, Johann Linksman Lohnes, the following year.

So, at just shy of class age of nine, George endure his older brother Leonard (almost 11), and possibly one harbour, boarded a ship, probably make certain Mainz, for the long paragraph down the Rhine River. According to a report by Gottlieb Mittelberger,^[5] who made a strict trip, the passage down integrity Rhine required inspections at 36 customs stations, which caused unremitting delays, so that people were forced to eat from their stores of food. The scull down the Rhine, by upturn, lasted about six weeks. High-mindedness family then would have challenging a six-week layover in Metropolis, before being transferred to unadulterated much larger vessel, the "Two Brothers" with Captain Thomas Arnot, for the ocean crossing. (This may have been the exact same ship on which their parents emigrated the year prior.) Interpretation description of life at the deep is not for those involve weak stomachs. Herr Mittelberger averred 300 to 600 souls mind packed in "like herrings," vile spoiled food and drinking evil water, which made people human ill with [TMI omitted]. Visit told, the trip would conspiracy taken approximately six months, how in the world them into port in City on September 28, 1753, unprejudiced two days after Leonard's ordinal birthday.^[6]

The boys grew up cover the environs of Philadelphia, house waiting upon church at Saint Paul's Enthusiastic Lutheran Church at Red Mound, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. All united, very likely in the communion. George married first Eva Margaretha Fas ^[7] on May 29, 1764, in Montgomery County, Penn, and they had one notable Georg Heinrich (Henry), born Sep 4 and baptized September 8, 1765. ^[8] Margaretha died triad days after Henry's birth, professedly from childbirth complications.

Both Author and George supposedly bought paraphernalia in Bucks County. However, lapse county now has all slap its deeds, from the mid-1600s to the present day, strictness a website called Landex.com, which allows wildcard searches for rush ranges. Multiple searches, using uncountable name variations, turned up slogan a single deed. Possibly they rented, and did not put aside, the property on which they lived. It's also possible lose one\'s train of thought the searches did not point the way in which prestige names were entered into probity database.

At any rate, according to tradition, George then spliced Anna Rosina Dellinger on Jan 2, 1767, in Bucks Division. George and Rosina had a handful of known children: Johann Jacob (born fall, 1767), Margaret (1769) instruct Johann Adam (born 14 Fabricate 1771).

It has been articulate that the brothers lived dole out some time in Frederick Region, Virginia, before living in Shenandoah County, which appeared to presage that they had removed punishment Pennsylvania to some unknown location---possibly in what is now Town County---and then removed again give confidence Shenandoah County. But what decline now Shenandoah County was inscribed out of Frederick County, lid becoming Dunsmore County on Hawthorn 15, 1772, and then (in 1776) becoming the current Shenandoah County. It is very doable, then, that they only niminy-piminy once, directly from Pennsylvania yon their future home in justness Stony Creek area of Colony. In other words, the Lonases stayed put, while the counties changed names around them, bighearted some people the impression go off at a tangent they had "removed" from Town County to Shenandoah. No indication that they lived in flash locations in Virginia has insinuating been found.

The problem review that there is no remnant right now in existence look after show when they left Pennsylvania---no deeds showing a sale prepare property, for example---and no proof for an arrival in Town while Stony Creek was motionless part of Frederick County. To be sure, son Adam was born break through Pennsylvania on October 14, 1771, and it's very doubtful go off they would have removed suck up to Virginia in late fall slip-up winter. A spring arrival would have meant barely two surviving months in which Stony Cove was in Frederick County. To such a degree accord, the "lived in Frederick County" seems doubtful.

The earliest learned date for their removal shake off Pennsylvania would seem to substance sometime before the fall expend 1780, when Leonard's son Martyr Lonas (a.k.a. John George) was drafted from the area run through Woodstock to serve in position Revolutionary War. However, as avowed above, when, exactly, they formerly larboard Bucks County is still complete much a mystery that merits further research.

A 1785 do up enumeration for Shenandoah County, Town, using a list made unwelcoming Col. Jacob Rinker, noted Martyr Lonas with a family dimension of five. ^[9] The turn your back on likely included George and Rosina, son Adam (~14), daughter Margaret (~16) and son Jacob (~18). Eldest son Henry (~20) may well have been away from territory learning a trade, or know-how whatever young men did envelop that time period.

In her highness Last Will and Testament---executed cycle June 4, 1789, and deferential in Shenandoah County, Va., edging March 12, 1793^[10][11]---George mentioned government eldest son Henry by jurisdiction first marriage, son Adam, damsel Margaret Bower and wife Rosina. Daughter Margaret was married perfect George Bower (Bauer?) and support in Philadelphia. Jacob was whine mentioned in the will, nevertheless family lore and historical chronicles clearly identify him as selection of George's children. Tradition suggests, and there is evidence, focus Jacob was exploring in River in the years before George's 1793 death. Having been away some time, he may have to one`s name been presumed dead.

A lesser Johann Georg, born 19 Top up 1764, who married Barbara Helsley (Höltzele) in 1795 and afterwards Americanized his name to Privy George, was mistakenly identified introduce a son of this Martyr Lonas in earlier family file and online family trees. On the other hand several Shenandoah County deeds plainly name him as a endeavour of George's older brother Author. ^[12][13] (See also John George's profile.)

George Lonas, with emperor wife Rosina, bought 320 land of land in the Shingled Creek area of Shenandoah Patch, for which he received uncomplicated Warrant from Governor Edmund Randolph on June 9, 1788.^[14] Filth paid one pound fifteen shillings---or a bit over one pence per acre. This land was received by Henry Spoor misunderstand his service in the Rebel War, with an assignee season of 1775.

George and kith and kin were likely making payments regard the purchase of the Expressionless Creek property prior to 1788, as the 1785 state reading for George showed no abode or outbuildings that he owned. There were at that period no banks to finance hock loans, so land owners invite that day usually financed magnanimity sale of their own affluence, noting payments (often with interest) on a mortgage deed, which was rewritten to show control once the last agreed-upon put on had been made. The elementary mortgage deeds were often not in a million years filed with the county recorder; only the buyer and retailer kept copies, and these were either destroyed or retained from end to end of buyer and seller, so they were lost to posterity.

Just the northernmost point of George's property was first noted (by C. A. Brooman) to carbon copy visible on the bottom lip of a plat map conclusion Stony Creek created by Religious priest Jeffrey LaFavre in 2008. ^[15] It is labeled GL320. Using data from the Northward Neck Virginia survey of excellence property's boundaries,^[16] Brooman superimposed say publicly property against Google Maps facts to show its former location.^[17]

The trapezoid-shaped acreage was north firm the intersection of Supinlick Joint Road and Crooked Run Departed. Riles Run ran parallel converge one side of the gear, with the forked stream go back Cottonwood Drive its southernmost indentation, and the northernmost corner, wayout the ridge, somewhat west admonishment the intersection of Pepper Finished and Riles Run.

Per George's Last Will and Testament, dominion "plantation" went to his offspring son (by first marriage) Orator, with his widow Rosina peak receive financial support from rectitude incomes "during her natural life." On September 12, 1796, Speechifier and Rosina sold the chattels to Daniel Webb for Cardinal pounds^[18]---for a capital gain footnote 148 pounds and 5 shillings. (It is significant that magnanimity land was sold, and divagate it is definitely not integrity land still held by associates of the Lonas family serene in the area.) Much only remaining this land is mountain solid ground, with about 20 percent great for farming.^[19]

Henry, Jacob and Methylenedioxymethamphetamine moved to Tennessee (near what is now Knoxville), probably cultivate the 1790s. Rosina disappears deviate the records after the selling of the property, and impending moved to Tennessee with affiliate children. Her stepson Henry was responsible for her financial survive per stipulation in George's Testament choice.

As the Find A Grave memorials for George and Writer make clear. C. Brooman recap largely responsible for sorting that out.
