I have indirect HALL and HOUSE connections in my family. I am connected to Millicent FAIRCHILD by her marriage to Benjamine HALL. Eventually, the HOUSE family is connected to them through a SHARP marriage to a CLAXTON. Fairifield , Connecticut is the starting point in the American colonies for the FAIRCHILD-HALL connection. But, the family connections are eventually found in Ontario, CANADA. This may, or may not be of help to you.

I am trying to find out where this HOUSE family lived during 1750-1777. Can anyone help me out? I am actually searching my William HALL line. According to William's Rev War papers, he and Levi House had been friends since about the age of 13 or 14 years of age. I need to find out where they lived in this time frame so I can narrow down the lineage of my very common surname of HALL. I am desparate...have been trying to find this family for over 20 years!!! Thanks!!

Posted on: House Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/FamilyAssoc/House/144 Surname: House, Harpon, Harper ------------------------- I have a Joseph House who was sent to Australia in 1835 as a convict. His occupation was a top sawyer and his home was in Hampshire, his parents were Joseph House and Susan Harpon (Harper) He had a very interesting 50 years in Australia where he helped to shape Victoria, from a sawyer, to a butcher and then a coach proprietor. He had two surviving sons Joseph and Edward Charles House. He had a tattoo of a lady with the letters LH on his leg, maybe this may help someone to recognise him as part of their family.

My HOUSE family too had a James, Charles and Edward. The earliest ones I can find were in Stoke St. Gregory, Somerset, England. My gg-grandfather, Thomas William (T.W.) HOUSE went to NY in 1834, worked briefly there and in New Orleans as a baker, then ended up in Houston, Texas in 1837. He married Mary Elizabeth SHEARN, daughter of Charles & Mary (nee PODE) SHEARN in 1840. T.W. was a banker (the T.W. House Bank), a dry goods merchant and owned sugar and cattle lands in various Texas counties. He died in 1880 and is buried in Houston. His son, "Col." Edward M. HOUSE was President Woodrow WILSON's confidante for years. T.W. had a brother named James and a sister named Mary Ann (she married James HUCKER & ? LOCK)who lived in Houston and both also died in 1880. James, Charles and Edward were three of T.W.'s children's names. Other children were Thomas Wm. Jr., David, George, John, and Mary (my g-grandmother, who married Robert Milam CALDWELL). I'd love to hear from anyone who is descended from any of T.W. HOUSE's children or his siblings, cousins, etc. I'm still trying to find T.W.'s parents names in Somerset, if anyone can help on that. Thanks!

Would love to hear from anyone that might have information on this House line. Theo. must have died btw 1860-64 because Parmelia remarried J. L. Miller Thanks in advance for any and all help. Marie

On Tue, 21 Nov 2000 19:29:10 -0500, Steve Piper, "Steven Piper Piper" <BeckyPiper1@worldnet.att.net> wrote, in part, the following: NOW, I have rare and other books which prove and name soldiers who ran to Canada when their ranks were being wiped out. There were HUNDREDS who were taken prisoner to Detroit (Indians traded them to the British/Canada for items) And there were plenty who went to the British/Canada rather than fight. These Battles are where I found my grandfather. Fort Recovery has a web site and they have most all the names. A good book that will lift your eyes, is That Dark and Bloody River, by Allan Eckert. But anyhow, that is how a lot of American Soldiers went from Colonies to British Canada. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ In response, I am hoping that you will be wiling to do a few lookups for me. Is that possible? In my particular case, I would be interested in both the RAY and PALMER families immigrating to CANADA. It is particularity curious to me that the same PALMER family relations seem to have been in Michigan as well as CANADA at different times. Also, since most of my family seems to have been UEL, maybe a few other names could be included, s.a., LAWRENCE, WOODRUFF, LAMOREAUX, SHARP, and HOUSE. Also, could you point me to the URL for "Fort Recovery?" Many thanks, Howard

Posted on: House Biographies Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/FamilyAssoc/HouseBios/11 Surname: House, Wright, Davis ------------------------- This was included in: A Twentieth Century History of Allegan County; Dr. Henry Thomas; Allegan; The Lewis Publishing Co., Chicago; 1907 PP134-135 EDWIN H. HOUSE, working industriously and unremittingly in the operation and improvement of his farm in Saugatuck township, is making steady progress in his business career and at the same time finds opportunity to keep in touch with the trend of modern thought, for an air of intellectual culture as well as business activity pervades his home. He was born May 6, 1875 on the farm where he still resides, his parents being H.L. and Jessie M. (Wright) House, who were natives of Oswego county, New York, and who were married in 1856. They became residents of Saugatuck township, Allegan county, in August, 1868 and Mr. House was one of the first to engage in the cultivation of fruit north of the Kalamazoo river. He had faith in and soon demonstrated the possibilities of the country for fruit production, showing that his ideas were practical and that profitable results could be secured. He was an active charter member of the Agricultural and Pomological society, which was organized early in the "70s, and he carried on his business interest along scientific lines, keeping pace with modern progress and readily determining the practical from the purely theoretical. He was therefore a man of influence and stability in his community and was a worthy member of the Congregational church, in which he held the office of deacon. There was in him an earnestness of purpose and depth of character which not only made him a devoted and helpful member of the church but also won for him the respect of all with whom he came in contract. He died July 7, 1897 at the age of seventy-two years, and is still survived by his widow, who resides on the old homestead. In her younger days she engaged in teaching for several years in the Ward schoolhouse, this being about 1871 and 1873. She was ever and able helpmeet to her husband, assisting and encouraging him. When they took possession of the farm it was in its primitive condition, but Mr. House resolutely undertook the task of clearing and developing it., and it is today one of the model fruit farms of Saugatuck township. Here Mr. and Mrs. House reared their family on three sons and two daughters, Dr. Walter B. House, who is a practicing physician in Oberlin, Ohio; Rev. Herbert E. House, a minister of the Presbyterian church in New York; Jessie M. who is engaged in missionary work in Huntsville, Alabama; Alice L., deceased, and Edwin H. The last named has had control of the home farm since his father's death in 1897. His education has been liberal and thorough. In addition to the usual literary branches, he pursued a full course in the Columbia School of Oratory, of Chicago (now the Columbia College of Expression), and his readings and impersonations are of superior merit. While a student there he formed the acquaintance of Miss Philinda H. Davis, who was also a student and afterward a teacher in that school, and who is a daughter of Jerome Davis. They were married in 1900 and have since resided upon the farm in Saugatuck township, known as the Riverside Fruit Farm. It is conveniently located near the village of Sauatuck and is bordered by the Kalamazoo river, which in its winding course, with banks crowned by orchards, fields or natural forest growth, is a beautiful stream. The building upon the place are neat, roomy and comfortable and the farm presents a most thrifty and well kept appearance. It comprises eighty acres, on which are two thousand fruit trees, the orchards containing apples, pears, peaches and cherries. Mr. House is making good use of his opportunities and the years are bringing to him well merited success. Books and periodicals indicate the literary taste of Mr. and Mrs. House, who find congenial companionship in the master minds of all ages. In community affairs Mr. House is interested and is now serving on the school board and the board of review, while in the Congregational church of which he is a member, he is now serving as a trustee.

Posted on: House Biographies Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/FamilyAssoc/HouseBios/10 Surname: House, Smith, Boyer, Watson, Corey, Engles, Losee, Cooper ------------------------- This was included in: A Twentieth Century History of Allegan County; Dr. Henry Thomas; Allegan; The Lewis Publishing Co., Chicago; 1907; PPS 411-412 Allegan CO, MI. REUBEN HOUSE is the owner of a good tract of land, embracing one hundred and twenty acres, situated on section eight, Gun Plains township. He is a native of New York, born November 28, 1831 on the banks of the St. Lawrence river in Theresa township, Jefferson county. His father, John House was likewise a native of the Empire state, where he was reared and married to Miss Catherine Boyer, who was born in Albany, New York. The father came with his family to Allegan county in 1850 and here spent his remaining days, passing away at the age of sixty-six years, while he was survived by his widow, who passed away about ten years ago, when she had reached the extreme old age of ninety-eight. Reuben House acquired his education in his native state, and was there reared to the age of nineteen years, when in 1850, he accompanied his parents on their removal to Allegan county, this state. He remained with his father for one year, and in 1851 started out in life on his own account, purchasing eighty acres of land, this constituting a part of his present place. He paid five dollars per acre for this property, which was then in a wild and uncultivated state. He broke the land, plowed the fields and planted his crops, which in due course of time brought forth abundant harvests. As his financial resources increased he added to his original holdings by the purchase of an additional forty-acre tract, making in all one hundred and twenty acres. In 1859, in company with his brother Charles and Everett Watson, he made an overland trip to the west, the party having three yoke of oxen and two cows. They were five months in making the journey to the Pacific coast where he remained for six and a half years, returning to his home farm in 1865. Upon going to the west Mr. House had a family consisting of wife and two children, whom he left on the home place, which was leased on the shares during his absence. Upon his return home he resumed his operations on the home farm, and in addition to raising various cereals, was also engaged in raising live stock, having only the best grades of animals. He is meeting with gratifying success in his farm labor, for he follows only the modern and practical ideas of agricultural pursuits, using the latest improved machinery to facilitate his work. Two years after his arrival in Michigan, in 1852, Mr. House was united in marriage to Mrs. Rebecca House, nee Smith, the widow of his brother Moses House. The only child of that marriage died at the age of three months. After losing his first wife Mr. House was married to Eleanor Corey, and their marriage was blessed with three children: Otis, who died at the age of nineteen years; Reuben Augustus, who was born January 15, 1859, and is now a resident farmer of the Yakima valley, in Washington, and Lena B., who was born December 12, 1866, and is now the wife of Elmer Engles, who resides in the northern peninsula of Michigan, twelve mils from Marquette. She has become the mother of ten children, of whom four sons and five daughters survive, the record being as follows: Otis, Willis, Clyde, Herman, a son who died at the age of three months; Ella, Ruby, Gertrude, Lila and Edna. After the death of his second wife, which occurred October 20, 1880, Mr. House was married a third time to Mrs. Laura Ann Losee, a native of Jefferson county, New York and a daughter of John M. Cooper, who passed away in Watertown, that state. Mr. House formerly gave his political support to the Republican party, but in more recent years has been Bryan Democrat. He has taken an active interest in the local ranks of his party, having served as justice of the peace for twelve years, and he was likewise commissioner of highways and school officer. He has been identified with the Masonic order for the past forty years, holding membership with Plainwell Lodge, NO 235. He also hold membership with the Patrons of Husbandry. When Mr. House located in Allegan county there were many evidences of pioneer life still to be seen. Few settlements had been made, the homes being widely scattered, while large herds of deer could be seen roaming over the prairies and one had ample opportunity to indulge his love of hunting. He has seen all the changed, however, as the country has become more thickly populated, thriving towns and village have sprung up and the work of advancement has been carried forward along many lines. He has lived in the county for more than half a century, so that he has a wide acquaintance and a host of warm friends.

MARCH 14, 1914 Zeke House, Pioneer Passes Away Another of the rugged pioneers of the valley crossed the "great divide" at an early hour Thursday morning, in the person of Ezekiel House. For several months he has been in failing health, and his death was expected by his relatives. In the death of Ezekiel House, the county, and especially the southern portion, loses one of its earliest settlers. Some time ago Mr. House gave the editor of the ADVOCATE a brief synopsis of his early life in California, in the Hot Springs district. He was probably the first white settler in this district, for it was no uncommon occurrence in those days for him to go out in the morning with his trusty ride, and bring home a grizzly bear before noon. He has a fund of "bar" (bear) stories which he delighted in recounting to his friends. For many years Zeke roamed the Eastern hills, and was virtually monarch of all he surveyed, for the land was then government land. He sold his ranch in the Hot Springs district and removed to a small tract on Casey lane, where he passed his last days. His children are; Mrs. Sarah Costigan of Milpitas, Mrs. Ellen Bradford of Kingsburg, Mrs. Tweet Merritt of Ripon, Mrs. Bud House of Soledad, Mrs. Emma Gentry of San Jose, Mrs. Carrie Heslin and Miss Lucy House of Gilroy; Frank of Newman, James of Los Banos, John of Merced, and Son of Chowchilla. The funeral will be held this Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock from his late residence. DIED HOUSE In Gilroy, March 6, 1898, Caroline House, beloved wife of Ezekiel House, aged 55 years, 7 mos. and 6 days. Another early pioneer of the State passed away on Sunday last in the person of Mrs. Caroline House, wife of Ezekiel House of Hot Springs district. Mrs. House came to California in 1846 with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Patterson, just ahead of the noted Donner party. Her father died on the summit of the Sierras. She proceeded to Sacramento where she married Ezekiel House, May 13th, 1858. Since that time she has resided in the Hot Springs district near Gilroy. She was a hard working woman, devoting her entire time to her household duties. Of twelve children born to them, eleven survive her. She has three brothers living in Oregon and one at Huron, Cal. Mrs. House has not been in good health since an accident a few years since, in which she and her husband were thrown over the grade. About a week before her death she was brought to town to be near medical attention. The funeral occurred on Tuesday from the Warthon residence and a large number of sorrowing relatives and friends were present. Rev. Buie conducted th e services. The remains were interred in the Odd Fellows and Masonic cemetery. The sympathy of all is with "Uncle Zeke" in the loss of his life's companion in his old age.

This is no joke! My Miss Poor married Mr. House! They were originally from Connecticut, then moved to Ohio. Some of their families eventually moved to Virginia, and apparently there is some connection between the "Poor" family and the family of Jesse James. Any light on any of this would be extremely appreciated!! Thank you and best regards, Sarah hawkmoon15@earthlink.net
