1. Simon LAUCK, was born in 1760 in and died in 1815 in Frederick County, Virginia, at
age 55. Simon married Catherine STARR/STOEHR abt 1782 in Frederick County, Virginia.
Catherine was born in 1766 in (Winchester, Frederick County, Virginia OR Lebanon Twp.
Lancaster Co., Penn.) and died in 1843 in Winchester, Frederick County, Virginia, at age 77.
There has been much discussion about the father of the Lauck brothers but none have proved out so far. The search goes on into Lauck families that were in NY then to PA and on to Winchester, VA.
Nov 1990- I received information from Rose Frazier Bowery concerning her Lauck genealogy. In her notes was the following information. "Simon and Catherine Lauck came from Germany and settled in Winchester, VA. Catherine Lauck' great grandson, Simon Lauck Boyer, said he remembered hearing his father and mother saying that Catherine Lauck was an old German Methodist. At prayer meetings when called on to pray, she would generally start in English, but because she could not use the English very well, she would change over to German and end her prayer in German."
Simon Lauck learned gunsmithing in Lancaster County, returning later to Winchester, Virginia.

The first land indenture for him in Winchester is dated 16 Apr 1796, ½ of lot no. 16 on Braddock Street, bounded on the South by Cecil Street. Sold by Mary Wood of Winchester for £12. We do not know when Simon came to Winchester.
MILITARY:
1) Served in Lord Dunsmore's War (from biography on son, Phillip)
2) Served in Revolutionary War in Morgan's Riflemen of the famous "Dutch Mess"
(from biography on son, Philip)
3) After the defeat at Quebec, he returned to Winchester where he was an interpreter for the
Hessian prisoners held there. (from biography on son, Philip)
(I have yet to find the "biography on son, Philip" bh)
DEATH: Mt. Hebron & Old German Reform Cemetery Records; Plot 519
The records of the Mutual Assurance Society of Virginia, April 2, 1796, show Simon Lauck insuring his four buildings on Loudoun and Clifford Streets, Winchester, Virginia. He notes they are occupied by him and others. Two are dwellings and two are stables. There are numerous other property transfers to Lauck in Winchester up until his death, however, the above are the only ones insured. Perhaps he worked in his dwelling house as none are marked shop on the plan.
Peter, Simon, and it is believed that Abraham Lauck was one of the 3 brothers. Simon was born in 1760 and was in resident of Winchester when he enlisted in Col. Stephen's Company in Dunmore's War in 1774.
Later Simon and Peter leaving Winchester July 14, 1775 with Daniel Morgan's Company on their famous march to Cambridge, Mass. to join General Washington's forces. They called themselves "The Dutch Mess", though not all 96 were of Dutch (German) parentage. From Boston they made the illfated march to Quebec and was held captive for one year. Peter was captured, when he returned a year later, they celebrated this event of January 1, 1776, every year at Peter's Red Lion Tavern in Winchester.

Cemetery, Portland, Ohio.
From David S. Raese 6-2006 in his descendant chart he sent me about Elizabeth Lauck:
"She is said to have prized an old black shawl, her "war treasure." During the Civil War, Morgan's Raiders rode through town after a daring raid through Ohio. They forded the Ohio river nearby the Amsden farm in an attempt to enter (West) Virginia. The battle of Buffington Island resulted, a Rebel route. Morgan's Raiders were notorious for looting Union towns they occupied and she quickly prepared her house by hiding the family valuables. When one Rebel soldier dismounted from his horse in front of her house, he removed a bundle from his saddlebags and threw it down, spilling silver out on the ground. Silverware, a silver tea service, trays, etc. The stolen war loot was wrapped in a black shawl, which the rebel soldier left behind when he rode away. She saved it, and years later often retold the story of her exciting brush with the war. (This story was passed down in the Price family as well as the Haworth family.)
Elizabeth married James Flower (Haworth Line) AMSDEN 18 Aug 1836 in , Meigs
County, Ohio. James was born 17 Aug 1809 in Onedia, New York, died 18 Dec
1851 in Meigs County, Ohio, and was buried in Lauck Cemetery, Portland,
Ohio.
