Notes for: Aaron Luzader II

Part of the Lousada family remained Loyalist during the Revolution, retaining their name's old spelling and moving to Canada or England. Aaron II changed the spelling of his name and served in the American Army. He was a sergeant in the Revolutionary War, first during 1776-77 in a New Jersey Regiment, and later in 1778-83 in a Pennsylvania regiment. The battles in which he fought were Long Island, Princeton, Brandywine, and Germantown.
