General Notes for Child William T. (Jr.) Houser
see text file: wthouser.txt
William Houser son of Rachel Houser was 1 yr old and living with his mother (Rachel Downs) in the household of his Grandmother (Rachel Downs) at the time of the 1850 census in Washington Township, Coshocton County, Ohio.
From the History of Jay County: "William Houser, a well known and substantial farmer and landowner of Bearcreek township and proprieter of an excellent farm on rural mail route No. 1 out of Portland, where he makes his home, now living practically retired from the general labors of the farm, has been a resident of Jay county since the middle '70s and has developed a good piece of property at the place on which he settled upon coming over here from Ohio. Mr. Houser was born in the vicinity of Ft. Recovery, over in the neighboring county of Mercer, in Ohio, October 14, 1848, and is the posthumous son and only child of William and Rachel (Downs) Houser, both of whom also were born in Ohio. William Houser [Sr] was a blacksmith and had aquired a bit of land in the Ft. Recovery neighborhood. His widow married again and continued to make her home in Recovery township, in Mercer county, and it was there that her son by her first marriage, the subject of this sketch, grew to manhood. The junior William Houser remained with his mother and stepfather until after his marriage at the age of twenty-five, when he began farming for himself on a tract of eighty acres he had inherited from his father in the neighborhood of Ft. Recovery [Ohio]. Three years later he sold that place and came over into Jay county, April 4, 1876, and bought a tract of 120 acres in the woods in Bearcreek township, where he established his home and has since resided. The greater part of this tract was uncleared when Mr. Houser took possession, but he presently got the place under cultivation and as his affairs prospered added to his holdings by the purchase of an adjacent tract of 110 acres, thus having 233 acres, on which as the years passed he developed an admirable farm plant. ... It was on October 19, 1873, while living in Mercer county, that William Houser was united in marriage to Mary Menchoffer, of Washington township, that county, and to this union have been born six children, five of whom -- Rachel C., George, Caroline, Gomer, and Alice -- are living.
