- Nicholas, the fourth child of Francois, was born in 1668 and whose branch of the family write their name Lozier, married in New York May 8, 1691, Tryntie, daughter of Peter Slot, of New York. After his marriage he removed to Hackensack, N. J. By this marriage Nicholas had eight children, as follows: Hillebrand, born 1695; Petrus, born 1697; Johannes, born February 26, 1699; Maritie, born May 11, 1701; Antie, born October 31, 1703; Lucas, born March 18, 1705; Jacobus, born October 5, 1707, and Benjamin, born October 24, 1708. After the death of his wife Nicholas married in Hackensack Antie Direcksee Banta, daughter of Derieck Banta.
His children by this union were Trintie, born March 12, 1710; Hester, born December 16, 1711; Rachel, born May 17, 1714; Jacob, born May 24, 1819; Abram, born July 1, 172i; Leva, born September 22, 1723; Margrietje, born April 5, 1726. The genealogical record of the Lozier family has been traced for several generations, and in some lines to date. The descendants of Nicholas Lozier are now living in Bergen county, N. J., and Newburg, Orange county, N. Y.
The records of the Dutch churches at Hackensack and Schraalenburg, N. J. contain the names of several generations of the Lozier family who in their day were quite numerous but are now few in numbers. Nicholas Lozier was a man of importance in local and church affairs. In the records of the Hackensack church we find that he was accepted as a member, on confession of faith, April 4, 1702. He was elected churchmaster in place of Roelof Westerveldt May 1712, was elected deacon in place of Derik Blinckerhof, May 14, 1713, and elected elder in place of Jacob Banta in May 1723.
