General Notes: Husband - Christopher Loughner


This surname is variously spelled in the Pennsylvania Archives, Laugenour, Lauchner, Leuchner, and Longnor

He came to America from Germany in 1751 and settled in Heidelburg Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, which area later became a part of Lehigh County. By his will, dated March 12, 1796, and probated January 14, 1799, he appointed his wife, Margaret, as executor, and devised the farm of three hundred acres to his two sons, Jacob and Joseph. The other children received bequests of money, but the farm remained in the family even down to the seventh generation and was still occupied by them well into the twentieth century.

He and his two sons, George Peter and Rudolph, served in the Northampton County Associators and Militia during the Revolution.
