Elias may have been one of the first six and Peter by the second In order to find the progenitor of the House lines who live in or have marriage. We have no proof that Ellas was a son of Christian, but from the early date of the above - (To be continued) descended from the Mohawk Valley transaction we might safely say that families, we must go back to the he was. perlod of 1708-1709. Among the Pala- tinate refugees who came from Eng- land to America with the Rev. Josh- ua Kocherthal was one . Christlan Hauss. We find also in the church records of the Rev. Kocherthal the following: Married Sept. 27, 1710, Christian Hauss, widower, a carpen- ter of Alten-Staden, near Welzlar in
ine, widow of the late Johann Beck- er of Durnberg, near Deitz In the sovereignty of Schomberg.
It is supposed that Christian
Hauss' first wife as well as Johann Becker died on the voyage over, or soon after reaching these shores, as history of that, period tells us that sickness and privations took many lives, both on the voyage over and the winter following. In the census of 1713-1714"it is shown that Chris- tian Hauss and wife Maria Catherina I also am looking for proof that Joel's wife was Rhoda Stone and together with eight children are liv- ing at Neu-Heesburg on the Hudson would like full list of their children. Elijah and Abigail Carey were River. It can be easily seen that most of these children were by the married 1803. Did they have fam- ly? She must have been his second wife as in 1790 census his family was 1-0-1. first wife and bears out a tradition in the House family, "that six broth- ers came from Engiand to America together." The names of these six I would like to correspond with any one who has any information about these families. \ . sons of Christian House will be given later in this writing. There is a re- cord of Christian Houys being nat- Mrs. F. A. Tiedgen, uralized October 11, 1715. At the present time we have been unable to Highland Park 3, Mich. learn whether Christian Hauss left any children by his second marriage and we are sorry to say we have Wanted any information of James Strong born Feb. 16, 1765 and 0 been unable to find a record of the name of his first wife, the mother of Catherine Howard, married in York the children he brought to America with him.
In Governor Hunter's iist of Pal- atines who received assistance (ra- tion list) was the name of John Christian Hauss, identical with the Christian Hauss mentioned above as the given names John and Christian were many times coupled together and have so come down through the generations
In the year 1725 on August 26, we find in the Albany County records 'a transfer executed by Harmonas Wen- dell of a parcel of land, being part of Harrison's Patent and lying near the mouth of Little Canada Creek, to Christian Haus and Hendrick Klock, Albany County deeds, Book 7, page 87, etc .The record of this transac- tion was taken from the St. Johns- ville Reformed Church Book .
Of course Christian Hauss may, and probably did, have children by his second wife, as we have drawn from the records the names of six sons and two daughters and the name of one other male whom we have been unable to place. The names of these six sons are as follows: Reinhard, Johannes, George, Har- monas, Conrad and Peter. The two

House Family of the Mohawk
By Melvin Rhodes Shaver Ransomville, N. Y. Chapter I
Reinhard married Anna Elizabeth and we find a record of two children, Johann Henrick, born No- vember 5, 1715 at Yonkers, N. Y .; and Christian, born August 2, 1722 at Tappan, N. Y. A Johannes Haus was naturalized August 27, 1721 and we have no further record of him. Neither have we any record of Har- monas, Conrad and Peter, but we do know that from the Hudson the Pal- atines emigrated to other points, some to Connecticut, some to Penn- sylvania and other parts, it Is fair
usually termed the Mohawk Valley. It is a little confusing to connect the genealogical lines from the time the Palatines came to America to the time of the American Revolution, as the records are incomplete. During that period the familles, and different branches thereof moved to other lo- calities and settled. Moreover the different branches of families used the same names for their children and at times we may find several Georges or other given names / at- tached to one surname and perhaps all of about the same age and in the
ters were generally sponsored by the grandparents or a brother or sister, sometimes by a neighbor .or friend and given the name of the sponsor, In that way the name is spread throughout the family '.
It Is to be assumed that the chil- dren who came to America with Christian Hauss soon became of mar-
sponsors, George Zimer, Johannes
Layer (Lawyer), Maria Eliza Zimer and Elizabeth Layer."
Also the following: "Elizabeth Schaffer died March 28, 1749 aged 85 years. Census of Palatines on the Hudson river 1713-1714; Elizabeth Schaeffer, widow with three children lived at Queensburg.
"Parents, Conrad Rickert and wife Elizabeth Haus; child, Christian born April 25, 1736; sponsors Nor- man Haus and Barbara Warner."

"Parents, George Hauss and wife Maria Catherina; child, Maria Eliza- beth; baptized, . October 30, 1734; sponsors, Maria Elizabeth and Her- man' Haus.
"Parents Jurrian Hauss and wife, Catherine Earhart; child, Maria Dor- othea, baptized, January 7, 1736; sponsors, Hendrick Kneskern and Maria Dorothea Warner.
"Parents Jurrian Haus and Cather- ine Earhart; child, Johan George, baptized .November 8, 1737; sponsors John Juria Ecker and Elizabeth Mar- garet Warner."
The names Jurrian and Jurrie are George. We find no House record at Schoharie after 1737.
Stone Arabia Reformed Church: "Married January 20, 1761 George House, George House's single son to Maria, James Gamel's'single daugh- ter"
Our line of the House family as we believe prior to the American Revo- lutlon, although we are lacking in some church records, is as follows: Christian (1) and first wife, name unknown.
George (2) and Maria Catherine Ecker.
Conrad (3) and Engeiga (last
name unknown.) Johnathan (4) and Lena · · Van Slyke. 1
