The mother was Mary Elizabeth Shearn. The 1860 census shows TW House with wife Mary and the following sons: William, John, Charles, James, George and Edward. It appears this family was orginally Dutch with the name spelling of HUIS. I think the family had holdings in Monadale, TX. Thomas seems to have died abt 1880. Hope this helps.

In the 1850 census Houston Census . It shows T.W. 33,Mary 24 another Mary 9, Charles J 6,Thom W. 5, J.H. 3 looks like David R. 6/12 and a Edmund Mather 21 living with them. ----- Original Message ----- From: houseno@aol.com<mailto:houseno@aol.com> To: HOUSE-L@rootsweb.com<mailto:HOUSE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, November 11, 2006 7:08 AM Subject: Re: [HOUSE] Lost in House ancestry This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.
