House Family of the Mohawk
By Melvin Rhodes Shaver Ransomville, N. Y. Chapter I
Descendants of Christian Hauss
(Continued from last week) It is also, stated that information which House gave Brandt regarding the strength and maneuvers of our people prevented an attack by Brandt and the Tories upon Clinton's army. Page 269, "The Old New York Frontiers" by Frances Whitney Hal- sey: "Chief Brandt's letter adds that on reaching Oghwaga he learned that General Sullivan perhaps by this time may be at Shimong where I have sent my party to remain until I joln them." He himself was just setting out with elght men for the Mohawk river in order to discover the ene- my's motions.
General Clinton was still at the foot of Otsego Lake with ten days longer to remain. Brandt proceeded up the Unadilla river to the Mohawk where they captured a man named John House.
House became lame from marching and the Indians prepared to kili him, but Brandt ordered that he be releas- ed on a promise of neutrality. One of General Clinton's scouts afterwards found House and the day before the departure from the lake brought him Into camp. House had particulars of the threatened invasion from' Cana- da by the way of Buck Island, Fort Schuyler was to be attacked. From John House's further activities In the Revolution It would not seem that he took his oath of neutrality serious- ly.', '
I will not dwell here longer on John House's Revolutionary record but will pass on to a later period in his- tory and take up his further mili- tary activities. I quote:
"Council of Appointments," New York State Military Records, years 1784-1821. Page 795, year 1805- "John House appointed Ensign, Vice John J. Fealing appointed Captain Vice Command Helager, moved." ! "Montgomery County 1805, Lt. Col. Andrew „Grsy's Regiment.".
In the same publication page 1182, Vol 2, year 1811: "Ensign John House appointed Lieutenant, Vice
whom was named Conrad. | There were without doubt others whom we have been unable to place. Conrad House and wife, together with James Woodard and wife ,are mentioned in the census of 1790, page 106 as living at Schuyler Lake in the town of Ger- man Flatts. These two families were either living together or on adjoining property.
