Notes |
- Early Niagara census records show a Samuel or Samson Lutz as head of one of the first 12 European households in Niagara in 1783. As George would have been only 19 at the time, it is presumed that Samuel is his father.
Presumably a different Samuel Lutz is shown in the 1828 census as Samuel Loot living in Bertie Township (present-day Fort Erie), Welland County, Ontario, and living with 2 males under 16. However the record show a total of 4 people living in the house. It is presumed that the census taker forgot to record Samuel's wife. The ages of the children suggest this Samuel would likely be a son to the present Samuel Lutz and a brother to George.
