I found this in Augusta Co., VA . I looked in every index in the court house and there was only one reference that was even close. It was for an Aron Huse and he purchase land in 1762. There is no mention of a wife but the time would be about right if Adam was born January 03, 1763.
Have you ever seen a middle inital for Mathais?

I found a record of Adam being a member of Frieden's Church in Rockingham Co. with his wife Catherine. That is in the area where I believe this land is located.

Aaron House Bible

The data below was obtained from an old HOUSE Bible by Mary Alice Cooper, a Great, Great, Great, Great Grandaughter of Aaron House, Son of Mathias House, who lived in "Happy Hollow" near Slate Mills, Va. Although the flyleaf was missing, the Bible was apparently printed in 1815, three years after Aaron and Phoebe Mitchell were married. Franklin Zirkle

. The initial page of the front cover on the old testament is missing. The title page for
the New Testament is Philadelphia Printed and Published by M. Carey, No.
121 Chesnut Street 1815.

The letter below was found in the old Aaron House Bible.
Culpeper County, Va. Sept. 21st, 1844

Dear Brother:

I take up my pen to inform you that we received a letter from you informing us that you were all enjoying the inestimable bleysing of health. God grant that you may continue to enjoy that bleysing I once knew what it was to enjoy health but now I am compelled to bear the rod of affliction as I have been confined to my bed fifteen months and for
six monoths I have not been able to feed myself. All the rest of my family are well at present. Ephriam House and Family are all well and wish to be remembered to you and your family, hoping these few lines may find you enjoying the same bleysing. Produce is very low at present, flour three dollars seventy five cents per barrel, wheat seventy five
cents per bushel, corn old crop two dollars per barrel, rye forty or fifty cents per bushel, bacon six or eight cents per pound,oats twenty five cents per bushel. We have a very dry spell of weather for some time which still continues. Crops of corn good but crops of wheat are only tolerable. Inasmuch as I am unable to write, I requested my Grandson,
Aaron M. House, to write this letter for me; times are very hard with the crops of wheat being sorry and the price too low makes money very scarce and keeps people in debt. May you all continue to enjoy the precious bleysing of health, the boon of which I have been so long deprived, and may the God of Isreal go with you through this life and save you is my sincere desire. Nothing more at present but remain your affectionate
brother until death.

Remarks: Aaron died the following year. Aaron M. House was eleven years
old when he wrote this letter for his Grandfather. We are unable to
determine which of his brothers Aaron was writing to. The flyleaf of
Aaron House's Bible has been found (loose ). It states that it was
published in Philadelphia by M. Carey, #121 Chesnut Stret 1814.
Franklin Zirkle
On another sheet of paper are many notations and scribbling. Aaron House
was written many times; another "to hire of waggon & geer"; "Maddison
County"; and "Aaron House his hand and pen, he will write better but God
knows when -July 22, 1809"; :Allamander Vawter February 15, 1813". On
another sheet the writing is in German on the upper half; the lower half
in English - "A man went out.... a hundred pounds (?) to buy cattle in
all one hundred head of some cows, sheep.....he give a pound for a head of cows , 1 pound for a head of.......,1 shilling for a head of sheep, now how many head of......" (This appears to be a math problem}. There are other sheets written in German.


Several more items found stuck in the old Aaron House Bible (1814).

At the top of this form it states: THE STATE OF OHIO, BUTLER COUNTY,ss.
To all to whom these Presents shall come, GREETING . WHEREAS Jacob House late of the county aforesaid deceased, did by his last will and testament in writing, make, ordain, constitute and appoint Susanna, his wife, and his son, Cornelius House executors of the same; and whereas, at a court of Common Pleas holden at Hamilton in the county aforesaid on the fifth day of November one thousand eight hundred and twenty seven before the Honorable Henry Wecerier (?), Daniel Millehein and John ????, Esquires, Associate Judges of our said court of Common Pleas, the said last will and Testament hath been exhibited and probate thereof pra-ed by the said Cornelius House the said executor the same being proved; Therefore be it known, that by the said court of common Pleas, administration of all and singular, the goods and chattels, rights and credits, which were of the said Jacob House, deceased at the time of his death, is hereby granted unto him the said Cornelius House, the Executor therein named as aforesaid, to be by him administered according to law, and agreeably to the tenor of the said last will and testament; Provided however, that it shall be the duty of the said Executor to have
all and singular, the said goods and chattels inventoried and appraised by Samuel Hindman, John Trim (?) and Urzal Edwards, householders of the county aforesaid, and the same inventory and appraisement with an accurate statement of the debts, which to the said deceased whilst living, and at the time of his death, did belong, to exhibit, or cause to be exhibited into the Clerk's Office of the said Court of Comon Pleas
within three months, and a just and true account of administration to render within eighteen months from the date hereof, or when thereto lawfully required.

Remarks: I don't know the legal term for the above document but it apparently is not a will - it appears to confirm, in court, who the executors of Jacob House's Estate are and gives the time in which the estate must be settled. The form does not give Jacob House, Son of Mathias House, death date but it had to be prior to 11-5-1827. If this is the case, then Jacob's Father and and all of his Brothers, except Mathias, Jr. were still living when Joacob died. Does someone have the verified date of Jacob's death ? Cornelius was the oldest son of Jacob House.

Margaret (Peggy) Shaddock Mitchell House
Possible Second wife of Matthias House

Matthias House married Margaret Shaddock Mitchell, widow of Mark Mitchell, on 3 January 1814 in Madison County, Virginia. Margaret was 44 years old when she married Matthias, a man of approximately 75 years of age. Margaret was the daughter of James and Hannah (Samuel) Shaddock.
After the death of Mark Mitchell in 1808, Margaret moved to Madison County, VA where William and Nancy (Mitchell) Henshaw had settled. Nancy Henshaw was the daughter of Mark and his supposed first wife whose name is unknown. This is about the time that Margaret met and subsequently married Matthias House.
On 10 July 1793 in Essex County, Virginia (WB15:140), Mark was mentioned in the will of James Shaddock as being a son-in-law and one of the executors. Therefore, he was married to Margaret Shaddock before this date. James Holbert, another son-in-law, settled the estate. In the Essex Will Book 16:238 and dated 15 September 1803, Mark Mitchell purchased articles twice from the estate of James Shaddock. Some articles he left with the widow Mrs. Shaddock (maiden name Hannah Samuel).
On 14 March 1803 in Caroline County, VA Mark Mitchell acted as security for his son Lovelace Mitchell to marry Mary Sally Mitchell.
Lovelace Mitchell was the administrator of Mark Mitchell dec’d on 19 September 1808 ( Essex WB 17:89). In Caroline County, VA (OB18:429) in March of 1809 the children of John Mitchell requested the division of his estate. Lovelace Mitchell received the legacy of Mark Mitchell deceased as his administrator.
In Madison County, VA on 26 November 1812 Lovelace Mitchell was made the guardian of John, Sally, and Betsy, orphans of Mark Mitchell. William Henshaw, Lovelace’s brother-in-law, acted as his security.
On 27 April 1854 in Madison County, the dower property of the widow of Mark Mitchell was sold and she received the money. Alfred Tanner was acting as administrator for Lovelace Mitchell deceased, who was administrator.


In Madison on 9 June 1881 there was a further settlement of the estate of William Mitchell, deceased, by cash received of Mark Mitchell’s estate from Alfred Tanner acting administrator. This William Mitchell was the son of Mark Mitchell and is the same William Mitchell who married Elizabeth Lipp.
William Henshaw paid out of the estate of Lovelace Mitchell the following:
• By cash paid Aaron House (Aaron married Phoeby Mitchell)
• By cash paid Jacob Lipp (who sold Lovelace land and is the father-in-law of William Mitchell)
• By cash paid Matthias House (married Margaret Mitchell, the widow of Mark Mitchell)
This was signed by Paschal Early, William Taylor (brother of James), and John Henshaw. It was ordered to be recorded 25 March 1824.

Children of Mark Mitchell and supposed first wife:
1. Nancy Mitchell born 1778 (1850 census) m. William Henshaw
2. Phoebe Mitchell born 1780 m. Aaron House
3. Lovelace Mitchell born 30 June 1783 m. Sara Sally Mitchell
4. William Mitchell born before 1787 m. Elizabeth Lipp

Children of Mark Mitchell and Margaret Shaddock
5. John Mitchell born 7 February 1794 m. Mahala House
6. Sally Mitchell born 1795 m. Rowland Yowell
7. Betsy Mitchell born 1795/6 m. James Taylor

In Sept 2003, I was in Augusta Co., VA. I was always curious as to where, when and why our Mathais House was in the valley. I looked in every index in the court house and there was only one reference that was even close. It was for an Aron Huse and he purchase land in 1762. There is no mention of a wife but the time would be about right if Adam was born January 03, 1763.
Have you ever seen a middle initial for Mathais?

I found a record of Adam being a member of Frieden's Church in Rockingham Co. ( have some info on this church) with his wife Catherine. That is in the area where I believe this land is located.

If he used Aron maybe that is why it has been so hard to find any accurate marriage records.

Let me know what you think.

In trying to locate the original homestead of Matthias House August 08, 1739 possibly Germany - October 20, 1829, which I had been led to believe was in the Shenadoah Valley, I ran across some Lutheran Church record for Frieden?s Church in Rockingham Co., Va.

There is an entry for April 27, 1794 for Jacob Haus born June 12 1794 baptised April 27, 1794 son of Adam Haus and Chatrina .
And a daughter Margreda born Jan 19 1798 baptised Sep 30 1798 daughter of of Adam Haus and Chatrina .
Could this be the Adam Haus son of Matthais House (Haus)?

A Second entry is for St. Michael?s Union Church for Susanna Hause born Sep 10 1800 baptised July 19 1801 daught of Philip and Barbara Haus.
Does anyone know who they are??

Michael House January 03, 1764-September 26, 1839 (brother of Adam House 1763 - 1852 son of Matthias House ) daughter Elizabeth House October 01, 1790-September 27, 1872 married Lewis Utz abt 1792-September 23, 1823 and their children were born in Rockingham Co., Va.

I would be most interested in sharing House (Haus) information with anyone researching this family.
Thanks.

The response:: "John Blankenbaker"
The seventeen hundred and twenty-ninth note in a series on the Germanna Colonies

Nancy House Perry asks a question about Adam House and wife Catharine in
the Shenandoah Valley. In particular, she asks if this could be the
Adam House in the family of the Robinson River Valley Matthais House family.
I think the answer is that it well could be.
Adam House himself was confirmed at the German Lutheran Church in 1782
at age 18. In 1785, he is a communicant with this added notation after his
name, "wife confirmed." In the list of people being confirmed that
Sunday, there are these House family members, all of them believed to be
siblings of Adam: Matthias (age 19), Eva (age 17), and Margaret House (age 16).

There is one more House, namely Catherine (age 18) whose maiden name is
given almost illegibly. It is about eight letters long and the last
part does seem to be "bach." It also seems that the initial letter is "F."
Between these parts, it is a guess. Eisenberg thought it was, in total,
Farnbach. Andreas Mielke and I looked at in the microfilm and in the
original and we could not say anything with certainty. George M. Smith
took the easy way out and gave it as ? for which he may deserve an A for
honesty. I tried to see if the name could be read as Fischbach as being
the only name I knew that would fit what we could approximately see. It did
not look like Fischbach to me.

Probably the marriage of Adam and Catherine took place shortly before
her confirmation when she was 18. Nancy House Perry gave children as born
in 1786, 1788, 1794, and on to 1809. These would certainly be consistent
with the Adam and Catherine that I have been describing.

There is another point worth mentioning. After 1785, Adam House
disappears
from the Robinson River Valley. Though his father and his younger
brother
Michael are in the 1787 private property tax list for (old) Culpeper
County, Adam is not present. Adam never appears in the communion lists
after the case in 1785 above. Nor is this Adam ever present in the
baptismal records as a parent or as a sponsor where the family is
moderately active.

I would say that the appearance in the Shenandoah Valley of an Adam
House with wife Catherine having children starting in 1786 and running to
1809 would be very consistent with the Adam House and Catherine who are in
the 1785 communion list at the German Lutheran Church (Hebron) in the
Robinson River Valley. I feel terrible that the name of Catherine could not be
read with some certainty.

I have recently run across family genealogy sites that list the son of Valentine Bunger as John House Bunger. This would be the John Bunger who married Eva House, daughter of Matthias. Does any one have proof that John Bunger's middle name was House?

Secondly, I ran across a site that said the first wife of Matthias House was Mary Margaret Kintner. That is the first time I have seen this and it certainly made my ears (or eyes) perk up. Matthias did have some connections with the Kintner family as seen in the deed which he witnessed for Conrad Lamb. Conrad daughters married the Kintner brothers.

Any thoughts?
