      John House "Pioneers of Jackson Co"
      He brought the first circular sawmill to Middle Mill Creek Valley, but never got it in running order, having the misfortune to cut off his fingers, which threw him into the lockjaw, and killed him. He lived on the farm immediately west of Ripley, on Mill Creek.
      Mrs Colonel Ben William (Margaret) and Ann Smith, wife of George W Smith were his children.
