ELISABETH CHRISTINA LAUX, chr. abt. 1700 at Wallau. Her baptism record isn't found in the badly damaged church books. She md. 11 Apr. 1720 JOHANNES VAN HOESEN (VAN HOOSER) at East Camp, Albany, New York.
Johannes (John) grew to maturity at Claverack. When he was thirteen years old, a group of palatine Germans settled the area south of Claverack at Tar Bush and East Camp (see map). Among them was a young, orphaned girl, Elizabeth Christina Laux, whom John met'and fell in love with.
On the 11th of April 1720 Johannes Van Hoesen married ELIZABETH CHRISTINA LAUX at Claverack, Albany (now Columbia) Co., New York. She was from the settlement of Tarbush in the area called Livingston Manor. For the next eight years the couple remained in this area. Since Claverack was getting crowded (the land was being shared by
three uncles, not to mention older brothers and numerous cousins), Johannes must have had a small section of land to farm. When his father gave his property to his brothers, Gerrit & Jacob, on Oct.
24, 1724, Johannes realized that his hopes of receiving any more land from his father were "nil." Since he needed more land to support his
growing family, he decided to move with some of the Germans to Tulpehocken, Pennsylvania.
Johannes's brother-in-law, Abraham Laux or Loucks (English interpretation caused this surname to change), left Livingston Manor in 1725 and settled at Tulpehocken, Pennsylvania. The opportunities there seemed limitless and this, I�m sure, is what enticed him to move there. Also, his wife hadn't seen her brother, Abraham, or her sister, who'd both moved to Tulpehocken three years earlier and that was another strong motive for them to move.
In the spring of 1728 Johannes and his wife, Elizabeth Christina Laux, and their three children, along with other Germans, migrated to
Tulpehocken Creek and settled in the vicinity of what is now called Robesonia.
Johannes took up land on what was called the William Allen Tract in Heidelberg Township. (See Map.) Here he remained until his family was all born and most of them had grown to maturity. When his second son, Valentine, moved to North Carolina, he decided to move, too. On the 5th of April 1753, he sold his land to John Joseph Derr and Henry Boyer and, at the age of 56, moved to North Carolina and settled in Anson County.* Reference: Find A Grave Memorial - SmartCopy: Feb 14 2022, 20:33:44 UTC

10 Children born in the New World
After JHM Schauer died she married Jan Hannessan Van Hussom 4-11-1720. He was born in Claverack, Albany, NY 8/1/1687 and died in Anson, NC in 1/21/1762.I don't think that juves unless they were separated when she died if that makes sense. Here's another mystery. Where the Dutch bigomists? I just found another wife for this man called Annetje Van Dokar whom he married in 1740. Well, maybe he didn't officially divorce her. Maybe he just married Anne and moved away and she went to live with her son.
It was interesting to note that both of her parents Johan Velentin and Anna Catherine Ruhl Laux or Laucken or Laux were born on ship over the Atlantic Ocean but recorded as Prussia. Valentin in 1660 and Anna in 1678. I wish I had the name of the ships they were on. I wonder why they were such wanderers. Valentin died in Prussia in 1681. His wife died much later in 1717.
This Van Hoesen had a maternal grandpa who was a Dutch captain from Holland born in 1590 and a paternal grandpa from Husum Scleswig, Germany born in 1608.
