• Notes

  The following comes from the Dunnville Heritage Society, c/o John Stringer (descendant of Rachael Lutes). It was written by Sophia Augusta "Gussie" Stringer (1862-1951) descendant of Rachael Lutes. "Great grandmother Lutes was born in Holland, on the low lands and great grandfather lived in Germany, or as it was called, the high lands. The crops there failed and great grandfather went down to the low lands to work in the harvest and got acquainted with great grandmother. She taught him low Dutch, as they called it and she learned high Dutch and they married. There were twelve children in that family. I remember, Aunt Polly Rock, Aunt Peggy McCarthy, Aunt Lizzie Derrick, Aunt Jane House (who lived on Lake Erie, in a stone house). Uncle William Lutes lived in Waterloo, Uncle George Lutes lived in Moote Settlement in the little house on the nine acres on the corner, across the side road from your father's (John Lewis Ricker's) place. The side road went west to where Pa Stringer lived. Uncle Jake Lutes lived at Lundy's Lane and one nephew and two nieces at Boston. He was Dr. Walter Lutes. We visited them at their home." 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. Did Samuel immigrate first, followed later by George? Or did George marry very young and then immigrate in 1783, but not have any children until until 7 years later? Or did their earlier children die unrecorded? The answers to these questions are as yet unknown.
