Hackensack, N. J., is of the seventh generation in line of descent from
Fraucois le Seuer, the French emigrant, concerning whom and his children

Francois's great-grandson, John Lozier (4), was born near Hackensack, March 14, 1740, and died at Schraalenburgh, August 4, 1805. His wife, Marv Bourdette, a daughter of Stephen Bourdette, was born in 1744 and died June 7, 1828. Among their children of the fifth generation was Stephen Lozier, born in 1777, who settled at Old Bridge, now River Edge, just north of Hackensack. Afterward he removed to New York City. He married, in 1808, Sarah Van Buskirk, born November 29, 1779. He died about 1860 and his wife followed February 15, 1871. They had issue of the sixth generation John S., Jacob S., Catharine, Abraham, and others. John S. Lozier (6) was born October 4, 1809, and died February 19, 1871. He married (1) Fanny Van Zaun (who was born February 18, 1812, and died December 14, 1852) and (2) Margaret Banta. His issue of the seventh generation were Stephen (died), Mary Sarah, Catharine, Henry, Frances, Frances Ann, John, Robert G., and Lemuel, the latter being the subject of this sketch. Lemuel Lozier (7) was born at Cherry Hill, N. J., March 13, 1862, and after preparatory courses in the public school at New Bridge entered the Hackensack Academy, from which he was graduated. He then took up civil engineering and surveying, which he has followed with success, ranking now as one of the leading and most reliable surveyors of the county. In 1883 he married May D. Moses, daughter of John It. and Ellen (Brown) Moses, of Hackensack.
