NELSON LOUKS, page 433, 434, 435 History of Livingston Co., 1888.

 

Nelson Louks, a native of the dominion of Canada is known as one of the most prosperous farmers of Nebraska Township.  His boyhood was spent amid the quite scenes of rural life which was about 20 rods from Lake Erie in Norfolk Co., Canada.  He began life on the 1st of March 1830, the son of Wm. and Huldah Hoffman Louks, natives of New York and Vermont, who became the parents of nine children, of whom our subject was the seventh in order of birth.

 

The paternal grandparents of our subject, Henry Louks and his wife were born in New York State, the former about 1760.  He removed to Vermont 43 years later, where he carried on farming, and late in life joined his son William in Canada, where he died of typhoid fever when 62 yrs. of age.  His ancestors came from Holland and were among the earliest settlers of the Empire State.  His son, Wm., the father of our subject was born in Dutchess Co., NY , March 22, 1878 and was a carpenter by trade.  When the War of 1812 broke out he was working at this trade in Canada, he went back to NY and served in the militia.  He had in the meantime been married, about 1808, to Miss Huldah Hoffman, who was born in Franklin Co., VT, Oct 16, 1791.  They returned to Canada in the fall of 1821, where the death of the father occurred April 11, 1857, while the mother passed away five yrs. later, June 18 1862.  The record of their children is as follows:  Sarah was born Apr 9 1810 in Franklin Co., VT and became the wife of Solomon Griffin; she is now living in Delhi, Canada and is the mother of 7 children, all of whom are married.  Elizabeth was born Nov 28 1811 and married Abram Mills who has a large farm in the Province of Ontario, Canada; they have 9 children, all married.  Jacob was born June 22 1815, was twice married, and died in 1865, leaving a large family; Eusebia was born July 19, 1817 ad first married Edwin Potts, who died leaving no children; she then became the wife of Levi Steinhoff, who is also deceased; they had two children, and she now makes her home with her son in Nebraska Township, this county.  Melissa was born Aug 28 1819 and became the wife of Alex Cowan; she lives in Canada and has several children, all married.  Wm. H., the first of the children born in Canada, was born Nov 29 1828, and is now a prosperous lumberman and farmer of Lapeer Co., MI; he is married and the father of 5 children.  Alex was born June 2 1832, resides in Canada, is married and has 6 children; Lucy was born Aug 30 1835 and resides in Canada, being the wife of John Reid and the mother of 6 children.

 

Mr. Louks remained with his parents on the farm until 24 yrs. of age.  Upon leaving the parental fold he migrated westward to Ogle Co, this State, where he worked one year by the month, next two years cultivated rented land.  In Oct 1855, he purchased 160 acres on Section 10, Nebraska Twp., this county, where he took up his abode.  His purchase was practically uncultivated.  He was strong and Dec 11 1856, strengthened his resolution to build up a homestead by marriage with the lady of his choice, Miss Margaret Sabina Settle. 

 

In the spring of 1857 our subject and his young wife moved to their present location which has been their home where 9 children were born.  James Wm. born Sept 24 1858 is still unmarried and a resident of CO; Nelson Alex born Aug 23 1860, died unmarried Sept 5 1885 in Mead Co., KS; Dorothea Isabelle was born Jan 22, 1862, is unmarried and a resident of CO; Melissa Jane born Jan 18 1864, Stephen James, Dec 22 1865 are living near their brother and sister in CO; Walter George ws born Oct 30 1869 and continues at home with his parents; Thomas Charlton was born Dec 11 1871 on the fifteenth anniversary of his parents' wedding; Margaret E. was born Jan 20 1874; Malcom Wilfred was born Sept 14 1878 and died Oct 27 following.

 

     Mrs. Louks was born March 10, 1838, in Lockport, Niagara Co., NY within hearing of the roar of Niagara Falls, and could often see the spray rising from the foaming water.  She came to McHenry Co., this State, with her parents when a maiden of seventeen, and shortly afterward they removed across

the road into Walworth Co., Wisconsin.  Her parents James and Dorothea Charlton Settle were natives respectively of NY and Newcastle, England.  The father was a carpenter by trade but also followed farming and had been engaged in mercantile pursuits; subsequently they came to this county in 1861.  The record of their six children is as follows:  Stephen James, born Mar 10 1836, entered the Union Army and died with smallpox at Camp Fry, Chicago; Margaret, Mrs. Louks; Elizabeth Ann, born Jan 3 1841, married John Louks, a nephew of our subject, now deceased, and became the mother of two children; she afterward engaged as a teacher, and is just finishing her eighteenth year in the schools of Minonk.  Isabelle was born Jul 6 1843 and died Oct 14, 1857, when a bright young girl of fourteen years; William H. was born Jan 15 1846, and during the late war served in the 17th IL Cavalry, when he was detailed to duty on the frontier; he was promoted Sergeant and honorably discharged at the close of the war, and is now living in Gridley, McLean Co., IL; Thomas Charlton, born Apr 15 1849, is also a resident of Gridley.  Mr. Settle died at Minonk on the 27th of Jan, 1866, from injuries received by a runaway team; the mother is still living and a resident of Minonk.

     Mrs. Dorothea Settle was  born at Newcastle-on-Tyne, England, Apr 16 1808.   She came to America with her father and step-mother in 1825, and they purchased a tract of land near Penn Yan, NY.  Mrs. S. was first married at Auburn to Robert I. Cox, and the second time in 1835 to the father of Mrs. Louks.  Her father, Henry Settle, a native of NY, entered the Revolutionary army when a boy fourteen years of age by the desire of his mother; a woman who possessed remarkable patriotism and believed it her duty to give her son to the cause.   His father was also in the army at the same time.  Both escaped unharmed and the family afterward took up their residence in Canada.  A cousin of Mrs. Louks, John Charlton, is a member of the Dominion Parliament.

    Mrs. Louks' great grandmother was a native of Stuble, England; she was born in 1756 and died at the age of 55 years.  Her husband, Thomas Charlton, was born Sep 13, 1737 and died Sep 7 1815.  Mrs. Louks' father was born May 31, 1804.
