The following data was obtained from "The Complete Loy History Website, http://www.fortunecity.com/millenium/paddington/63/ and Thomas Stoner, cuda@oeonline.com. Much of it is confirmed in the book "The Loy Family in America" by Jennie Stewart which refers to the legend that John George, John Heinrich, Mathias and Christofer were brothers.

John George (Hans Jurich) Loy born 1705 in Baden Germany and wife Maria Elizabeth (Troud) born 1708 in Germany arrived in PA from Germany on the ship "Elizabeth" 17 August 1733 with George's 13 year old brother John Heinrich Loy. By way of Holland, he migrated to New York State. During the controversy between the Lutheran and Dutch Reformed Churches, he migrated to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, near what is now the Berks County line, since the birth records of his three oldest children are found in the records of "Moden Krick" (Muddy Creek) Lutheran Church which is about one mile east of where Schwartzville now is, on U.S. Route 222, about 20 miles Northeast of Lancaster and 12 miles Southwest of Reading.

On June 11, 1737, he was one of a syndicate of six men who contracted with Benjamin Tasker, Lord Baltimore's agent, to purchase 7,000 (seven thousand) acres, known as "Tasker's Chance," on the west side of the Monocaccy River in Prince George (now Frederick) County, Maryland, where Georgetown now is, for 2,000 pounds sterling.

He settled on a part of this tract, built a grist mill and became a prosperous and prominent citizen. He was one of six wardens who signed the Constitution of the famous Monocaccy-Frederick Lutheran Church whose records are preserved in the Lutheran Seminary, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and are full of records of him and his family. He remained a pillar of this organization until his death between August 1, and September 15, 1765. He left a will of record in Box 3, Folder 19, Hall of Records, Annapolis, Maryland, naming all of his children and sons-in-law. There are many civil records, deed, administration reports, grand jury records of service by him and his wife, Maria Elizabeta.
