Will Price is my maternal great-granduncle. His daughter Florence Price married Ralph LOSSING Sr.

My grandmother Dorothy "Dodo" Evelyn (nee Price) Lampton, Lawson, St. Charles [widowed 3x] regularly corresponded with Florence Lossing over the decades.

I'm looking for information and relatives of this branch of my family tree.

I have a few Price photos that I can share (Will's siblings: Harry, Myrtella "Myrtle", and George; plus George's descendents).

Thanks in advance of any help you can give me, Kati McSweeney celticmc@gmail.com

Dear ms. Hastings,

My name is Eva van Gameren, married to R.J. Lassing, from Oude-Tonge, the Netherland. In searching for "old Lassings", I found your site on the families of Hastings and Sewell, Lossing etc.
My husband is a descendant of Hendrik Andriesz Lassing (or Lasse), born in 1670 in Amsterdam. Until now I'have not been able to trace older members of the family. I'm ínterested to know if there is a relation with Pieter Lassingh, mentioned on your site.
I should like to know on which archives in Amsterdam is based that Pieter left for New Netherland in 1659. Also I have a question on the ships list. On the net I found that de Vergulde Beever sailed to New York in 1658 and 1660, not in 1660, In the passengerlists no Pieter Lassing is mentioned. Maybe mrs. Donna Ewins can give the answers, so maybe you can give me her adress, that I can contact her.

best wishes,
Eva Lassing-van Gameren

Re: Descendants of Peter Lossing of Norwich in Censuses 1880 USA and 1881 Canada

2005-09-26 22:14:48Z

Hi Jim,

Are you familiar with a Thomas E. Lossing, born about 1833 in Canada (probably Norwich). He married a Catherine and had issue Samuel E. and William W. (possibly more). By 1880, this family was residing in San Joaquin Co., CA. This family was residing very close to my Acker & Vanderburgh families (also from Norwich) and are also mentioned in a letter dated 1885.

Thanks!
David

Descendants of Peter Lossing of Norwich in Censuses 1880 USA and 1881 Canada

2005-06-25 06:38:02Z

Since the US 1880 census and 1881 Canadian censuses are online, I thought it would be interesting to take the time to find the descendants of Peter Lossing who were alive at that time. I found most of them, though there was some imaginative spelling of many of the names, either in the transcription or in the original census takers. Just ask and I'll send you a copy on a Microsoft Word file attachment. Please let me know if you can add any corrections.

MargaretKingsford — 2005-05-05 20:15:19Z

Kathy,
I see that one of my husband's relatives married into the Lossing family. William Augustus Lossing married Marietta(or Mariann) Kingsford. According to one of the rootsweb sites(Hastings, Sewell and Lossing Descendants of Ontario, Canada) they had four children--Alfred W., Jennie, Augustus, and Walter. Jennie Lossing married George Leonard and they are buried in the Jewell Cemetery, Newaygo County, Michigan. I don't know where Marietta and William ended up.

Pieter Lassing of Quassaick

2003-08-27 15:15:37Z

There is a reference to waht appears to be a baptismal record of the Lutheran church of NYC which states in 1745 a baptism took place "At Pieter Lassings, In Quasick."

Looking for any further information to identify this man. Could he be Pieter Laurens Lassing?

Trying to identify the Lassen/Lassing/Lawson who owned land in the Newburgh area circa 1780 and this seems like the best clue so far.

Thanks for any insight - Patti

Re: Lawson/Lossing/Losson/Lassen

2002-06-11 20:44:36Z

Susan:

I am trying not too get too excited, but...

The dates that you give for your John P. Lawson's siblings, JACOB and PETER, do fall close to what I have for them! The birth data I have on these guys is taken from affidavits in Jacob's pension file where in such-and-such-year they estimated their age (it still amazes me that our ancestors really didn't know how old they were... I guess they didn't live in the age-obsessed society we do today)

Anyway, is there an ISAAC LAWSON/LOSSING/etc connected to your John P.??? Who do you have as his father?

Hope we can connect, Patti

Re: Lawson/Lossing/Losson/Lassen

2002-06-11 19:19:28Z

Patti,

From the Lawson branch that I have-
John P. Lawson (b. 4/5/1756) had children: Peter (b. 3/24/1780), William Isaac (b. 3/24/1789) and Hannah (b. 7/12/1801)- there are other children too. John P. had a brother Jacob (b. 9/21/1761) and Pieter/Peter (b. 1775).... are we getting close ?????

Lawson/Lossing/Losson/Lassen

2002-06-11 16:07:52Z

Thanks, Susan, for your response.

I am pretty convinced my Hannah is of the Lossing/Lossen/etc family, I just lack the evidence to place her. This is what I know about her family:

HANNAH "LAWSON" b. about 1764;

She had a brother JACOB "LAWSON", b. about 1760, he was a Revolutionary War vet; He married MARY MILLER in 1785.

They had a brother PETER "LAWSON" b. about 1771, who lived in Wawarsing in 1846.

At the birth of HANNAH's 1st son was one ISAAC LAWSON, either her father or another brother (probably her father, as she named the 1st son after him)

It appears as if the father lived in the Newburgh area (now Orange Co.), NY as that is where both Hannah & Jacob were married.

If ANY ONE has additional info of any of the above named individuals I would appreciate hearing from you!! This line has been stalled for a while now!

Thanks, Patti

Re: Query to Lossing researchers (particularly Canadian)

2002-06-11 11:28:09Z

Hi,

I received some information from Robert McCallister in 1998 on William, son of Pieter Pietersze and Katherine (Hoffmeyer) Lassen (yet another spelling) that shows his descendants used the Lawson spelling. William married Marytje Schouten.

Hope this helps,
Susan
