Elizabeth Young was born 1746, died 13 Apr. 1813. She married Joseph House (Jost Hauss) and resided
at the Geissenburg Settlement near Ft. Plain, NY. Her husband Joseph supported the Patriot cause during the
Revolution, and claimed the property of his father-in-law (Adam)) on Young's
Lake after the War.
L.H. Shultz suggests that Mary who md. Wm. Cunningham;
Abraham, b. 24 Mar 1795; and Margretha, b. 29 Dec. 1796, were children of Jost
Haus and Elizabeth (--). The dates of
birth make this seem unlikely. In addition,
Melvin R. Shaver records that Abram House who married Maria Smith was a son of
Major Joseph House and wife Elizabeth Young - however both resources provide
little information on the Joseph House line.
The prime resource for this branch of the family is Ken
Johnson formerly of Nebraska and Kansas, and now of Ft. Plain, NY.
