ANNA MARIA LAUX, born in Germany, married John Nicholaus Neitling in Sheffield, Lorain, Ohio where the Lauxes apparently first settled. They had many children and moved to Oregon at some time between 1892 and 1900, starting a large Neitling family.

CHRISTOPHER LAUX, born in Sheffield, Lorain, Ohio where the Lauxes apparently first settled, moved to Oregon at some time between 1880 and 1900. I have little further information about him.
JOSEPH LAUX, born in Sheffield, Lorain, Ohio where the Lauxes apparently first settled, married Catherine Didion, had many children, moved to Michigan around 1885 and ultimately moved to Oregon at some time around 1900. It appears that they first went to Michigan in 1886 or earlier and stayed for some period, as his children Anthony (1886), Peter Joseph (1889), Frank John (1892), Mary Ann (1894) and Josephine (1896) were born in Michigan, and his oldest son Michael Joseph married in Michigan in 1899 and remained there. Several large families descend from Joseph.
HELENA AND CATHERINE LAUX appear to have died in infancy or childhood and did not take part in these migrations.
ANNA LAUX , born in Ohio, married Charles Wagner and ultimately lived in Illinois. She did not take part in the Laux westward migrations.
MICHAEL LAUX, apparently the youngest child of Peter and Elizabeth, was born in Sheffield, Lorain, Ohio where the Lauxes apparently first settled. He apparently never married, but he migrated to Oregon at some time between 1880 and 1910.
