I am looking for information on Squire Moorehouse/Morehouse who was born about 1826 in Washington County, NY. I don't know if his real first name was Squire or if that is a nickname. He married Amanda Daniels, probably in Hebron, NY about 1849. Can anyone give me any information on this family? Thank you for any help. Eileen

Hi, Eileen, I found Squire Morehouse in the 1850 census in Hebron, Washington Co., NY. It is possible he is a son/grandson of another Squire Morehouse. Here's the listing: Squire Morehouse, age 81, $100 real estate, born in NY Eliza Morehouse, age 37 [according to the index by Ancestry, unreadable for me], born NY Squire Morehouse, age 23, born NY Amanda, age 17, born NY Charlotte, age one month, born NY In 1860 still living in Hebron: Squire Morehouse, age 35, farmer, $400 real estate, $400 personal property, born NY Amanda, age 27, born NY Cornelia, age 10, born NY [is this the same as Charlotte?] William, age 8, born NY Anna, age 5, born NY Dilbert, age 1, born NY In 1870 in Hebron: Squire Morehouse, age 43, farmer, $1,500 real estate, born NY Amanda, age 36, keeping house, born NY Cornelia, age 19, keeping house, born NY William, age 17, farmer, born NY Anna, age 14, born NY Debert[sic], age 11, born NY Mary, age 5, born NY Infant [female], age one month, born May, in NY In 1880 in Hebron: Square[sic] Morehouse, age 55, works on farm, he and parents born NY Amanda, wife, age 47, born NY, parents born VT In 1900 in Granville, Washington Co., NY: Jesse G.
