That is it is the family of my mom Felicia House. She was born in Rowan Count, Gold Hill, N.C. in 1899 to John House and Martha Crowell. John House was born in 1860, the youngest of four sons born to Joel and Kaziah House. They lived in Providence Township, Rowan County, according to 1870 census for Rowan County. Martha Crowell was one of five born to Andrew Crowell and a Cherokee named Rachael. Martha and John married in 1886, and lived in Gold Hill where they had my m om and five other children. Meanwhile Joel House is listed in Cabarrus County, N.C. census of 1850 and 1860 as a free person of color. If you feel that you are related to the House family, please let me know because I have been into this research for a long time and have found a lot of people that may be related to you. Here is what I got: Joel and Kaziah House had four sons:Josiah, Monroe, Martin,and Jackson or John. Josiah married Elizabeth Shad in 1873; Martin married Mary Heilig in 1888 and had four children: Lonnie House, Lillian House, and Mildred House, and Walter Heilig. John and Martha had six: Fred House who married a Fannie Miller of Rockwell; Eugene House, Maggie House who married John Heilig, Felicia House who was with John Evans and Jerome Belser, Theola House with Lee Morgan, and Frankie House married to James Barnhardt. So there you are. Please let me know. Joseph Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
