1.  Simon LAUCK, was born in 1760 in  PA and died  in 1815 Frederick Co., Virginia, at age 55.  Simon married Catherine STARR or could be STOEHR, STARER about 1782.  Catherine was born in 1766 in Lebanon Twp. Lancaster Co., PA 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 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."  Catherine nor the 3 brothers were born in Germany but it is believed that the fathers were the immigrants from Germany.

Simon Lauck was found in Lebanon Twp., Dauphin Co., PA in 1784 where John Philip Beck had already set up a gunsmithing shop in Lancaster County, John Philip was a well known gunsmith of Pennsylvania.  Simon returned to Winchester, Virginia and opened his own business of gunsmithing.  For pictures of Simon and photos of his Flint Lock rifles and pistols. Click

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.   Simon came to Winchester before 1787 when his only daughter, Elizabeth was born .

MILITARY:
I see many researchers stating that Simon served in Lord Dunmore's War and the source being "from biography on son, Philip". I am unable to locate any such source or even a biography of the son Philip.

Simon is also listed as severing in the Revolutionary War in Morgan's Riflemen. Simon would have been around 15 that this time but that does not mean he did not serve.  The military was taking 10 year old as Fife and Drummer boys, usually if their fathers were also severing.   I believe Simon was on the march with the Virginia Riflemen and may have started on the the march.  From history we know that men were injured and would be sent home before arriving at Quebec.  Some would need help and this is where the youngest would assist the injured heading home.  We do know from records from Daniel Morgan that Simon was not on the list as being captured in Quebec and was not listed on the return at home.  The famous "Dutch Mess" was from Simon's brother, Peter Lauck that was captured on Dec 31, his birthday, and was held for one year.  Every year after that Peter and the men he knew on the trek to Quebec would get together at Peter's Red Lion Inn in Winchester, VA and celebrate. They became known as the "Dutch Mess".  This is also sourced as being "(from biography on son, Philip)" and as stated above I have not been able to locate this source.   Simion Lauck returned to Winchester where he was said to be an interpreter for the Hessian prisoners held in Winchester.

Simon was buried at Mt. Hebron & Old German Reform Cemetery. Records show is Plot 519.  Peter is laid next to him.  They both have markers showing they were in the Rev. War. 

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. He must had his gun business and worked in one of the buildings insured that was on his property.

First Generation
Simon Lauck Photos
Three brothers Peter, Simon, and Abraham Lauck were sons of the immigrant.  This page is about Simon that was born  1760 in PA.  Later Simon and Peter leaving Winchester July 14, 1775 with Daniel Morgan's Company on their famous march to Cambridge, Mass.  to join Daniel Morgan Unit in 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 Inn in Winchester. 
Peter Lauck was the oldest of the 3 brothers, he has his own page. Click link on the left.

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.

Obituary: PASSING OF PIONEER SETTLER, EZRA LAUCK
"Ezra Lauck was born in Meigs County, Ohio, April 22, 1840. Died August  9,
1921, being 81 years, 3 months, 17 days old at the time of death.  The funeral
services were held in the Nashville Christian Church,  conducted by Rev. O.C.
Johnson, and interment was made in the Nashville  Cemetery beside his wife, who
passed away 17 years ago, July 23, 1904.  When a small boy he moved with his
parents to Carroll County, Missouri,  growing to young manhood there.  He was
united in marriage to Martha J. Shinn, August 24, 1863. To this  union five
children were born, Mrs. R. A. Schneider, H. R. Lauck, H.H.  Lauck, Mrs. Neda
Kirby and E.E. Lauck.  In 1881 he moved with his family to a farm in Barton
County, Missouri, 7  miles east of Pittsburg, Kansas. All children settled in
the same  neighborhood and all reside on the same Rural Route out of Pittsburg.
Besides his children he is survived by 21 grandchildren and 12 great 
grandchildren, all living in the same vicinity, except one who is in the 
United States Navy. Three brothers and two sisters, F.G. Lauck, McCune, 
Kansas, James B. Lauck, Carrollton, Missouri, H.A. Lauck, Pleasanton,  Kansas,
Mrs. Parnelia Barbee, Carrollton, Missouri, Mrs. R. A. Bowlware,  Bosworth,
Missouri. Owing to the age and infirmity of the brothers and  sisters none but
F. G. and H.A. Lauck were able to attend the funeral.  He has been in poor
health for several years, having suffered a paralytic  stroke about two years
ago and his death was not unexpected.  At the time of his death he was living
on the old home place with his  eldest son, H.R. Lauck.  He was christened into
the Methodist Church when a small child. He served  six months in the Missouri
National Guards during the Civil War.  He was well known and liked in the
community where he lived. Was always a  kind father and will be greatly missed
by all."
