    Notes 

    • John House: George, Jr., married a Woodruff. She later died, and he married Fannie Newell. Their children were: Hiram, Vashta, Joel, and a daughter who married a Smith.
      [I think House has this wrong - George died and Fannie married Jacob Newell. At least the kids on the 1850 census fit!. . bb]
