In trying to locate the original homestead of Matthias House August 08, 1739 possibly Germany - October 20, 1829, which I had been led to believe was in the Shenadoah Valley, I ran across some Lutheran Church record for Frieden?s Church in Rockingham Co., Va. There is an entry for April 27, 1794 for Jacob Haus born June 12 1794 baptised April 27, 1794 son of Adam Haus and Chatrina . And a daughter Margreda born Jan 19 1798 baptised Sep 30 1798 daughter of of Adam Haus and Chatrina . Could this be the Adam Haus son of Matthais House (Haus)?
