Barnhouse is rather unusual name. In collateral line, I have an Arena Barnhouse birthplace unknown, date 1842. She married Gilbert Hazlett unknown place. They lived in Butler County, IA. I have several relatives who moved from Green County to Butler County sometime after 1872. Their names were McCauliff/McAuliff, Doyle and Briggs--all originating in Green County. There is also a Steven Strong in Honolulu researching the Barnhouse name. And someone in Butler County who has info on the Hazlett and Barnhouse lines. It might be wild goose chase but name is intriguing and unusual. Cathy Rossing
