In 1840, Lousia Loxstone age 20, a "servant" daughter of William Loxstone, a carpenter and Sarah Fox Loxstone, exchanged wedding vows with James H. Boone a farmer and son of John M. Boone and Maria Trott Boone, in the Parish of North Petherton, registration district of Bridgewater, England and began a lifetime of farming.
In 1856 the family consisting of James, Lousia and seven children packed up their belongings and headed to America. They embarked at Liverpool on a sailing-vessel, the "Underwriter". After a rough voyage of seven weeks and three days, they landed in New York city on the 1st of January 1857, whence they proceeded directly to Yates County, New York, where James began farming on rented land and lived there nine years.
1864 was a difficult year for farmers in New York, as a serious drought caused the crops to produce only half their normal yield and this influenced the family to move further west to Michigan in search of better land and climate.
In 1865 they had saved enough money to move on to Michigan in time to put in the spring crops. The new farm, 96 acres, was located in Cambria Township, Hillsdale County, Michigan is where five more children were born. She was the Mother of 12 children. All living are married and living comfortably settled in life.
