Surnames: House Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/SFk.2ACIB/1315 Message Board Post: Looking for information on Esther House who is my great grandmother. She married Quartus Andrews in 1849 or 1850 and they lived in Pearl City area, Stephenson County, IL with Quartus's brother Thomas J. Andrews. I have found that during the 1845-1850 era there were several Andrew and House families who purchased land in the Pearl City area. I am looking for information on both Esther and Quartus' family members and where they came from. Esther claimed she was born in Canada, May 1833. Quartus born in Ohio, 1826.
