Hi Sharon, Stumbled over your post while looking for info on my great,great-grandfather William Rollen Houser. I believe that makes Rollen C my great uncle! The family mostly lived in Lewistown, Mifflin Co, PA.

Wm Rollen Houser married Ada (Annie) E Christ in 1897, hence the middle name I think!

I have some additional information. Contact me if you are interested

Sirs,

Im looking for childern of Houser family. They childern were all born and came from Bohemia ( = Czech = Czechoslowakia = Czech Republic ) from vilage Štětice ( = Stetice ), near city and county Pisek to Amerika.

They relatives their came to Amerika were children of Jan Houser and Barbora ( = also Barbara) Luskova.

They had 13 maybe more children and we have information, that min. 3 were going to Amerika.

Sometimes was also name Houser changed at Hauser.

Some information are, they were going to USA, probably to Chicago and Pisek in North Dacota.

All they children were born in Bohemia about year 1860 !! and after.

I know just some names of they children. In the area in Bohemia near town PISEK were many HOUSER families with many many children - what will maybe also confuse the searching.

PARENTS :

Jan (= John) Houser * 25. 5. 1839 † 14. 10. 1907

He was musician,from vilage Stetice 30 (near town Pisek) house Nr.12. One day his house burnt, later he worked as bugleman for the fire brigade.

Wife of him Barbora (= Barbara) ( born Luskova ) Houserova born 2.12.1840 - 17.12.1930 and she was from Razice house Nr. 7.

THEY PARENTS DIDN CAME TO AMERICA !! they lived and died in Bohemia (Czech = Czech Republic - Czechoslowakia).

CHILDREN :

Definitely Jan and Tomas (John and Thomas) left together to Amerika. They had some emigrant request papers until 23.5.1887 - so I gues - that 1887 they left from Bohemia.

Somebody from family said , some of the children were musician and they played in circus .. but maybe is this wrong !

Some HOUSER visited his relatives in Bohemia and lived in CHICAGO.

Also existed photo of some young lady from her confirmatio and there weere at the picture stamp of photostudio in CHICAGO. So maybe it was his daughter !

Jan = JOHN 5.9.1868 - left in age 19 to Amerika

Tomáš = THOMAS = THOM 10. or 15.11.1870 - ? ABOUT HIM I HAVE NOW NEW INFORMAITON - BIRTHDAY 1871 ..YOU CAN READ IN MY TEXT DOWN MOREThomas probably registrated him in Amerika into birth - death book in Dec, so there is registrated misitake like birthday on 21 Dec 1870 in Czechoslowakia, lived in place Cicero, Cook, Illinois.

Spouse Marin(aka Marie Jarolimek/Jarolimkova) mother of John Houser wife Rose (Rose married to Charles Kupka) and Marie (also called Mary) married to Joseph Zamis.
Marin(aka Marie Jarolimek/Jarolimkova) she had 5 grandchildren
and she had 4 greatgrandchildren

Jakub = JACOB or maybe also JAMES born 1884 came probably later to Amerika

Josef = JOSEPH * 30. 3. 1880 - † 7. 11. 1963, was later farmer in Chlum ( near Kremze) - my grandgranddad – lived in Czech, wife Johana (Joan)

Katerina = KATHERINE *1882 - † 31. 12. 1934,

Marie = Marry 1865 -1866 (…they are 2x Marie.. one died sooner as baby )

Marie - ..? - † 13.7. 1912 (maried Zacharova)

Anna - 27.6.1874 - ? (married Jedličkova)

Václav = Venceslaw 9.1872 - ?, - were smith in vilage Herman, married Marie Jungwirthova ( = Mary Jungwirth) 2 childern

Matěj = Matthew * 29. 1. 1876 - † 8. 10. 1961 worked in Razice

And other childer names....

I gues - if they boys married about 1895 ..that their children came to school around 1902...etc......Maybe

At the photo my GRANDGRANDDAD JOSEF HOUSER (Nr. 3) from Bohemia

And other photo is MY GRANDGRANDDAD JOSEF HOUSER WITH HIS WIFE JOHANA

AND THIS WAS THE COMENT - WHAT I TRY UNDERSTAND - BUT "AGE 49" ISNT AGE 58 WHAT IS WRITEN IN THE DEATH LIST ....I thing, this is othe HOUSER !!

This is probably the Tom Houser (age 49) and wife Mary and children John, Rosie, and

Marie on the 1920 census in Chicago (enum. district 627, page 1A). It shows he immigrated to the U.S. in 1890 and was naturalized in 1896. His occupation is listed as saloon keeper.

6 ) I gues - she could be related !

Some man from Bohemi who is also searching for other Houser family in Amerika is thinking, that my related were going first probably to Chicago, than Spillville Iowa and than North Dacota.

In the atachment is photo of "T.Houserová" ( = T. Houser), she could be daughter of my relateted. (In Czech country has the man name Houser, but the women name is than ending at "ova" ...so thats why is it at the picture writen like "Houserova").

This picture is from Septemeber 1925. After 50 yearsjubilee of first Czech (Bohemia) newspaper "Svornost" (= Concord) , organized this newspaper some beauty contest "miss choice " and T.Houser was number 3.

Maybe is she the some girl from the photo whot I describe before (what has somebody in my family at home) from confirmation ....

8) IM NOT SURE

http://www.encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org/pages/327.html

Congress of Racial Equality (CORE)

Roller Rink Demonstration, 1949

Black and white activists from the Christian pacifist movement, including James Farmer and George Houser, created the Chicago Committee of Racial Equality, the first chapter of CORE, in 1942. The interracial group advocated nonviolent direct action to address racial discrimination. Not a mass membership organization, CORE depended on a small group of disciplined activists to conduct their campaigns to desegregate public accommodations, workplaces, and housing. Pioneering the use of sit-ins and other civil disobedience for civil rights causes, the Chicago chapter reached a high point when the organization desegregated White City Roller Rink in 1946. After a failed employment campaign at a department store the following year, the chapter became inactive during the 1950s until its disaffiliation.

A reorganized Chicago chapter benefited from CORE's nationally prominent Freedom Rides through the South in 1961. Its efforts to desegregate Chicago public schools brought attention to enduring racial segregation in the North. The movement crested in 1963, when activists moved beyond picketing and petitioning and sat in at the Board of Education to protest the construction of mobile classrooms for overcrowded black schools. Their direct-action protest attracted more working-class blacks, leading the chapter to de-emphasize its Gandhian roots in nonviolence and interracialism. Chairman Robert Lucas, critical of the failure of the Martin Luther King–led open housing campaign to extract concrete concessions from Mayor Richard J. Daley, led a march in Cicero in 1966. The organization was in decline even before the ill-fated march and remained a paper organization through the rest of the 1960s. The Chicago chapter's efforts to address de facto segregation in schools, housing, and employment anticipated and typified the civil rights movement's difficulty in significantly altering entrenched patterns of racial subordination.

I dont know, how to do the next step

Where do I have to look ???

Maybe is possible also more find about the wife of Tomas Houser - Marie Jarolimkova = Marie Jarolimek = Marie Houser

Some man wrote me :

Maybe is also possible find more from census from Berwyn or Cicer where lived many Bohemian people .

Maybe is also possible find some names from 1930 and later...in phone books

Maybe is possible also find some information at Czech national cemetery.

I will be happy find any information about the history and also contact at the family who is alive . Email, skype etc.

Thank you very very much for your help and any idea.

Have a nice day

SEARCH for HOUSER from BOHEMIA ( = Czech Republic ) living in USA

Sirs,

Im looking for childern of Houser family. They childern were all born and came from Bohemia ( = Czech =Czech Republic ) from place Štětice ( = Stetice ) near city Pisek in to Amerika and they were children of Jan Houser and Barbora ( = also Barbara) Luskova. They had 13 maybe more and we have information, that 3 were going to Amerika. - and some of them were going to USA, probably to Chicago and Pisek in North Dacota.
All they children were born in Bohemia after year about 1860 !!
I know just some names of they children. In the area in Bohemia near town PISEK were many HOUSER families with many many children - what will maybe also confuse the searching.

PARENTS :
Jan (= John) Houser * 25. 5. 1839 † 14. 10. 1907
He was musician,from vilage Stetice 30 (near town Pisek) house Nr.12. One day his house burnt, later he worked as bugleman for the fire brigade.
Wife of him Barbora (Barbara) Luskova born 2.12.1840 - 17.12.1930 and she was from Razice house Nr. 7.

THEY PARENTS DIDN CAME TO AMERICA !! they lived in Bohemia (Czech = Czech Republic - Czechoslowakia).

CHILDREN :
They - they names are in blue - were going 100 % to Amerika, maybe it was more children !!

Jan and Tomas (John and Thomas) left together to Amerika. Somebody from family said , they were musician and they played for circus and also at some boat, where they died. ..but this isnt sure Some also told about ship Carpathia - who helped Titanic...
Jan and Tomas (John and Thomas) had to left probably on 22. or 23.5.1887

Somebody also met some man who lived in CHICAGO and also existed photo of some young lady from CHICAGO.

Jan = JOHN 5.9.1868 - left in age 19 to Amerika probably on 22. or 23.5.1887

Tomáš = THOMAS 10.11.1870 - …?

Jakub = JACOB or maybe also JAMES born 1884

Josef = JOSEPH * 30. 3. 1880 - † 7. 11. 1963, was later farmer in Chlum ( near Kremze) - he was my grandgranddad – lived in Czech

Katerina = KATHERINE *1882 - † 31. 12. 1934,

Marie = Marry 1865 -1866 (…they are 2x Marie.. one died sooner as baby )
Marie - ..? - † 13.7. 1912 (maried Zacharova)

Anna - 1874 - ? (married Jedličkova)

Václav = Venceslaw 9.1872 - ? - were smith in vilage Herman, 2 childern

Matěj = Matthew * 29. 1. 1876 - † 8. 10. 1961 worked in Razice

and other children
….
….
........
Some of they childern (we dont know all they names) came to America, where reputedly had farm in Pisek in North Dacota

Some of Houser family, who visited later Bohemia told about it – when he visited Czech (Bohemia) family in Stetice...but we dont know who was it. To Amerika came also his other 2-3 brothers, some were as musician in circus, they families were in Chicago

I gues if the mother Barbora Houser birthday was in1840 than she had the first child was born about 1860 and around 1880 in their age 18...19...20 they children were going to Amerika

I dont know, how to do the next step and find the children of his children and his children an also existing relatives.. and emails and contact at tham...
Where do I have to look ???

Houser Family, Va and Pa

lwyatt07 — 2012-04-08 17:44:49Z

I am searching for the family of my Great Grandfather, Roger Houser(1915-1988). I know that he passed away in Hopewell, Va but I am not sure of his place of birth. It may have been Pennsylvania. I have his father as Andrew Houser born in 1892 in Pennsylvania, and his mother as Lottie, not sure of a maiden name. I have Andrew's parents as John W. Houser and Clara Kinsey. From there, it starts to get a bit confusing. Any information would be great!

John (Humrick) Houser and Maria Barbara Quickel

exbuckeye — 2012-04-04 20:53:17Z

Hi: I'm hoping someone can help me. I am trying to find "proof" of the marriage of Maria Barbara Quickel and John Humrickhouser. John Humrickhouser, later in life, changed his last name to Houser.

Maria Barbara was the daughter of Johan George Quickel and Maria Ursula Mueller.

I have seen in "print" on the internet that they were supposedly married about 1771 in Lancaster Co., PA. I have also seen that they were married in Germantown, Philadelphia PA.

While I have no doubt that they were married I am still trying to locate some type of documentation which confirms the Quickel Houser relationship.

I find John and Barbara in York Co., PA living across the Little Conewago Creek from Quickel's Church. Many of the birth dates of their children are recorded at Quickel Church. They moved to Shenandoah Co., VA before 1790. And in 1817 John is buying land in Fairfield Co., OH which is where he died in 1831.

If anyone can help me or give me any ideas as to where I should be looking for confirmation of this union I would definitely appreciate it.

Thanks...

Lawrence Houser (1844-1927) son of Peter Houser(?); Indiana

LaDonnaPafford44 — 2012-03-26 22:50:16Z

I am looking for information about my great great grandfather, Lawrence HOUSER, his parents, and/or siblings. I have that he was born in Shelbyville, Shelby County, Indiana on December 25, 1844 and died in Coburg, Montgomery County, Iowa on February 16, 1927. I have seen his father listed as Peter HOUSER (b. 1789 in Pennsylvania; d 1879) and his mother as Mary Magdalen WERKHEISER (b. 1792 in Pennsylvania). This would have made Mary 52 years old when Lawrence was born. So, I am not sure if his father was really Peter HOUSER or if it was a different Peter HOUSER. Another source states that Lawrence was actually born with the surname of RENN and his name was changed when he was "adopted". Can anyone help me clear up this discrepancy?

John Houser, York Pennsylvania

lwyatt07 — 2012-03-24 17:10:11Z

Trying to find some information on my GGGrandfather. His name was John Houser and I believe lived in York, Pennsylvania. I have his wife as Clara, but I am not sure of a maiden name. Possible parents are Andrew and Martha J. Houser. John also had a son named Andrew. Sometime then ended up moving to Prince George, Va. Anybody have any connections or information?

I don't know if I can help, but I'm trying to see if James connects also to the Houser line I'm working with. I research the Homrighausen lineage which originates in Hesse Darmstadt (Nordrhein Westphalia) Germany. One group immigrated 1748. One son stayed in Maryland and spelled it Humrichouse. Two sons eventually passed through VA before settling in Fairfield Co, Ohio, next door to Muskingum. They spelled it Houser. I've seen James's name show up, but can't connect him. James' descendants show up in the same area (Jay and Randolph counties in Indiana) as Jonathan Houser who is from one of the FF county lines. Jonathan is buried in the same cemetery as James. I have no further info up James's line, and am hoping we can work to share some info.

You may have found this by now, Christopher L Houser and Mellie married in Champaign Co., IL on 18 Dec 1884. (Volume 4; page 165; license # 00002412) I am trying to find death dates for them. The Houser line, as well as Dillman, Rhorer and Hoover lines are all collateral for me.

Mellie's name is incorrect, I think, as Reedin, in this marriage record, but Christopher's is correct.

Re: Houser Family (about 1700-1820)

Stephen_Houser — 2011-10-03 14:39:37Z

Hi Carrie,

The John Houser in my tree was born 29 Jan 1808 in Frederick County, VA and died 18 Dec 1891 in Wood County, WV. He and his family moved to Wood County sometime in the 1840s and he lived there the rest of his life. His father was Frederick who lived in Frederick (later Warren) County in the early 1800s. He and his wife Mary had seven children, including John.

There maybe some family connection here but the two Johns don't match up.

Thanks for the note.

Hi:

Quite some time ago I saw a will on the internet for Peter (Humrick) Houser.

A few months ago I sent for a copy of this will from Licking Co., OH but was told it was not available due to a fire that transpired in the 1800's.

I would truly like to have a copy of his will if anyone happens to have a copy of it. It was supposedly 1864 Type E Case 3833 AND 1864 Type P Book PB 10-1

New Holland is indeed on the boundary of Pickaway and Fayette Counties. However, you also need to search in Ross County,Ohio...lots of Housers there. Looks like she lived in Perry Twp., Pickaway Co., in 1910 and then moved to Ross Co. Do you have a married name for her?

My gggrandmother was Mary(Mollie)Houser Stout. Lived in Pickaway county after moving there from Berks County, PA, in the early 1800's. Would appreciate any info you find about her.

Re: David Houser

Re: Houser's from Ohio

weigand3 — 2011-07-03 15:57:11Z

I'm looking for Mary (Mollie) Houser who married Jacob Stout, probably in Berks Co., PA. They moved to Pickaway County, OH, next door to Fairfield. She may have had a sister Catherine Margaret who also married a Jacob Stout and lived in Pickaway County at the same time. A son of Mary was married at the home of a son of Catherine Margaret. Anything familiar?

Female Housers in Pickaway County Ohio

weigand3 — 2011-07-02 00:10:30Z

My gggrandmother was Mary (Mollie) Houser Stout, wife of Jacob Stout. At the same time they were living in Pickaway County (Mid 1800's), there was another Jacob Stout apparently married to Catherine Margaret Houser, who also lived in the county. My great-grandfather, Jeremiah Stout, son of Jacob and Mollie, was married at the home of Solomon Stout, son of Jacob and Catherine. I cannot establish a relationship through the Stout family. Am thinking that Mollie and Catherine might have been sisters. Does ANYONE know the parents of EITHER Houser lady?

Re: Looking for info on Mariel Christoff

mlreed123 — 2011-04-22 23:56:32Z

I guess I worded it wrong. I know that Robert didn't write his own obit. But we're just not sure where the name Mariel Christoff came from.

Robert Houser DOB: July 17, 1929 (This is the date, we as a family, were always told. However, his social security records list his date as July 12, 1929. Not sure why and he never explained.) I'm not sure where he was born, but a 1930 census that I found, and believe to be his family, was from Springfield, Clark, Ohio. Which would have made him only a few months old. He died in April 2007.

My grandfather did mention that he had a brother, George. And I believe other siblings as well. But I don't know their names. He also told us that his father committed suicide. I found a newspaper article for a Silvester Housier from Portsmouth, Ohio who committed suicide. The date of the newspaper is a little difficult to read, but I think it says May 1937. And this article is linked to Maud.

Possibly born in the early 1900's. My grandfather, Robert Houser, lists her as his mother on his obituary, yet our family never heard of her. His father was Sylvester Houser, born around 1901. The family is from Ohio and West Virginia.

There's a lot of mystery surrounding my grandfather. He never spoke much about his past. And what he did tell us, we're not sure if it's all true. Here's what I've been told:

He served in WWII. He said that he had to lie about his age to join.
His father, Sylvester, died when my grandfather was young.
He mentioned that he was of Cherokee decent. I'm guessing that was his mother's side. We don't know her name.
He had siblings. One was named George.
He was with my grandmother, Betty Jane Guenther. I can't find any evidence that they were legally married.

Willard Houser (or Howsare) is the brother of my great-grandmother Eveline Virginia (who maried Benjamin F Davis). Wilson was the son of Andrew Jackson Howsare (alt spelling) and Margaret Mills. Andrew was the son of Jacob Howsare, who was the son of Christian Howsare. All lived in Bedford Co, VA. If you would like more information, let me know.

Willard and Eveline had other siblings (Joseph W, Mary Eve, Murray B, Florence Agnes, Allie J, and Huldah).

A lot of these names are known by different spellings, or first/middle names inverted and sometimes incorrect. So I hope this information is accurate.

Re: Houser's from Ohio

ghumerickhouse — 2010-11-21 06:54:48Z

These Housers are all related to Homrighausens that settled in York County, PA in 1748, and their families eventually moved west to Fairfield Co, Ohio. The 1820 census records have some with an H. Houser for a middle and last name. Many branches of the family settled in the state-Tuscarawas, Coshocton, Wayne, Holmes, Darke, Ashland counties among others. This line is not related to the Houser families from Miami, Clermont and other counties, that were originally from Pennsylvania
