General Notes: Husband - Jacob Loutzenhiser

---

He was one of a band of land prospectors who came from Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, in the fall of 1796, and selected their future homes in the Shenango Valley, where they settled permanently in the spring of 1797. He first located on the site of Orangeville, in Pymatuning Township, Mercer County, Pennsylvania, where he erected a mill in 1798. In 1802 he sold his prop-erty and removed to a tract of land west of the Shenango, now partly in-cluded in Greenville. In 1809 he sold this to Jacob Hommer, Sr., having purchased in 1806 the Williamson Mill, near Greenville, afterward known as the Loutzenhiser Mill, which he ran up to his death. In 1815 he built the old log grist-mill, which stood on the site of Mathers Mill, and also operated it up to his death.

He settled first on the site of Orangeville, Mercer County, Pennsylvania, where he built a grist-mill in 1798. With his father-in-law he purchased a large tract of land where Greenville now stands. He sold his property on the Ohio line to Adam Haun in 1802, and settled near his father-in-law. In 1798 he sold 100 acres northeast of Greenville to John Williamson, who built thereon a saw and grist-mill. This came back into the possession of Loutzenhiser in January, 1806, who retained it up to his death. In 1815 he constructed a dam across the Shenango and erected a log grist-mill on the site of the Mathers mill. This he owned and operated up to his death, when it was sold by his executors to Joseph Keck, who ran it for many years.

He was reared in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and with his father-in-law became the owner of a large tract of land in Mercer County, including the site of Greenville, which they purchased from Lodge, Probst & Walker.
