Below is a quote from Thomas House's book.
"In the nearly four hundred years since Samuel House emigrated from England to Scituate in the Plymouth Colony, his descendants have grown in number to the tens of thousands. John Gerome House, who came to Kentucky in the late 1850's was the progenitor of more that 1,200 descendants in five generations. While the origin of this line of the family lies in tiny Colesburg, Kentucky, the family is now spread over most of the United States.
In the course of my research, I found that Samuel House was an interesting individual about whom much has been written. In England, he was persecuted, arrested and imprisoned for his religious beliefs. Samuel was steadfast in the support of his brother-in-law Rev. John Lothrop, and was on of Lothrop's followers who came to New England with him. In New England, Samuel House became a successful shipbuilder and real estate investor.
I have included stories about some of our ancestors that I found in my research, and which highlight details of their lives. For example, David and Nathaniel House, father and son, were Revolutionary War soldiers. Nathaniel House's pension application for service in the war depicts him as an elderly farmer in the process of losing his farm. Also highlighted is the volunteer service by Levi House with the 9th Kentucky Calvary in the American Civil War. While some of our ancestors distinguished themselves through military or public service, most were hardworking families making their way by farming."
