Notes for ? LOUGH:
More written by Dr. William Reser:
"Taking so long for the journey, longer than they had expected, the two sisters having limited financial means, could pay for but half the voyage. John Rudolph, wife and two children had just enough to land them on shore. On account of the mother's death shortening the period of requiring rations the father had enough to complete the voyage. They being strangers and no one able to pay the balance due from the sisters, these were put on the block and sold for labor, or as slaves, for it was the custom in those days if one failed to have money to pay transportation, or "passage Money" as they called it they were sold for the purpose of reimbursing the debt. Upon landing in Philadelphia the purchaser of the two sisters hurried away with them, and in spite of subsequent searching, John Rudolph was never able to see or hear of them again and he always worried over this misfortune."
"He, his wife and two children and his father settled for a short time in Pennsylvania and while there the father died, in the year 1757; and in the same year he and his family moved to North Carolina, Guilford, Co. where he spent the remainder of his days. His German wife died leaving him with eight children, one boy and seven girls. In the year 1775 he married Miss (?) Elizabeth Louck (which is my great-great grandmother-WM. Reser). To this union was born seven children, all boys making fifteen children, all of whom lived to manhood and womanhood, married and had large families of their own and they all moved to Ohio between 1799 and 1806 inclusive."
