1. Phillip Hulse (b. about 1515 in Kent, England. In about 1544, when Phillip was 29, he married Alice Corbett, in Kent, England (b. abt 1515 in Astley, Cheshire, England). They had one child: Thomas.
2. Thomas Howse / House / Hulse (b. 1545 in Moxbury, Kent, England. d. 1580, aged 35). In about 1574 when Thomas was 29, he married Alice Hinton, in Kent, England. (b. 1533 in Kent, England). They had one child: John.
3. Rev. John Howse (b. about 1575 in Eastwell, Kent, England. d. 30 Aug 1630 Eastwell, Kent, England. he was 55). Buried in 1630 in England. About 1592 when John was 17, he married Alice Lloyd, in England. (Alice was born abt 1572 in Eastwell, Kent, England, and died in Eastwell, Kent, England in Jul 1640; she was 68). Buried on 17 Jul 1640 in Eastwell, Kent, England. They had the ten children. NOTE- Source 2. Rev. John House was born at Cossington, Leicestershire, some 95 miles northwest of London, in 1564. After study at Cambridge University he was licensed to serve St. James, Egerton 1597, about 17 miles from Canterbury.
4. Samuel House (b.<1610 , d. 1661) Born before June 10,1610 in Eastwell, Kent, England, Samuel came to Boston from London with Rev. John Lothrop. One source I read claimed that Samuel House was the first shipbuilder in New England. His family was closely allied with that of the Rev. John Lothrop; his sister, Hannah House, was Rev. John's first wife. Samuel House lived in Scituate and Barnstable, MA. In 1634, he resided in Scituate near the harbour, southeast of Coleman's Hills, between the lots of Rev Lothrop and Richard Foxwell. In 1639 Samuel moved with John Lothrop to Barstable.
The inventory of the Estate of Samuel House Sr. who deceased the 12th day of Sept 1661: appraised at the request of Samuel House Jr. and Elizabeth House, children of the deceased by Timothy Hatherly, Nicholas Baker, Joseph Tilden and Isaac Chittenden. Among the items are the "The boat as she with the new sayle at Boston, and all belonging to it:" 80 lbs. The house and land at Scituate, 60 lbs.; His share of a parcel of land granted by the court, to the ancient freeman of Duxburrow, Scituate and Marshfield, 251 lbs. "These goods heer underwritten, not being here at Scituate, were appraised by Tristem Hull and John Chipman of Barnstable, because the goods were there." The property at Barnstable was all personal, including his wife's gown at 11 lbs 17s; His sonnes suite at 1 lbs. Samuel House Jr. was deposed to the truth of the above written inventory.
The Rawlinson Manuscript, A-128,in the Bodleian Library comprising records of the proceedings of the Court of High Commision (Ecclesiactical Division) 1632, gives an interesting account of the prosecution of Rev.John Lathrop and his flock of dissenters who met at a conventicle in the Black Friars, London. Among those arrested were Samuel Howes and his sister Penninah Howes who was a sister in law of Mr. Lathrop and their examination by the different members of the court is recorded as follows;
Register: "Samuel Howes,"saith the King's advocate,"you are required by your oath to answer to the articles."
Howes: "I have served the King both by sea and by land, and I had been at sea if this restraint had not been made upon me. My conversacon, I thank God, none can tax."
Register: "Will you take your oath?"
Howes: "I am a young man and doe not know what the oath is."
King's Advocate: "The King desires your service in obeying his laws."
Then Penninah Howes was called and required to take her oath but she refused.
London: "Will you trust Mr.Lathrop and believe him rather than the Church of England ?"
Penninah: "I referre myself to the word of God whether I maie take this oath or noe."
5. Samuel House (b. 1638) Shipbuilder on the North River. He succeeded his father-in-law, Thomas Nichols, at the shipyard called Hobart's Landing (later called Brigg's Yard) where he continued the building of ships. He resided a short distance northeast, near the yard.
6. Thomas Nichols - Shipbuilder on the North River in 1645, at Hobart's Landing.
7. Samuel House (b. 1665) lived in Hanover west of Third Herring Brook.
8. Joseph House (b. 1667) held as a tenant (shared) a tract of land in W. Hanover near a place called Drinkwater, the so-called Cornet Stetson Grant. This land extended from a mill at the Drinkwater River (near the intersection of Curtis St. and King St.) about a mile south, and bordered the town line (then Scituate) on the west. The property was later split amongst the co-owners; I am guessing that Joseph House owned land at the southern end of the Grant, near the Hanson town line. This is probably the same Joseph House that built the large white house on Main St in Hanover in 1712.
9. Joseph House (b. 1696) lived on Curtis St Hanover around 1727(?). NOTE- the book Shipbuilding on the North River, refers to a Joseph House who was a master carpenter at John Bailey's shipyard on the North River prior to the Revolutionary War. I am not clear which Joseph House is meant by this statement.
10. In the Hanover cemetery are the gravestones of Ann, wife of John House(b. 1709), their daughter Deborah, and their son Seth and his wife Bathsheba. It is possible that John House is also buried here, and the gravestone has disappeared.
11. David House (b. 1711) lived on Washington St, opposite the Jabez Studley place. His son, David House Jr. was a Revolutionary War private.
12. Samuel House (b.1741) was a carpenter who owned 1and at 232 King St, Hanson. Refered to in this receipt: "Hanover, July 12, 1777. Rec'd of Samuel House and Atherton Wales, £133 six shillings eight pence in full for one quarter part of ye sloop cal'd ye "Ranger" and one quarter of her cargo consisting of lumber now on a voyage to ye West Indies..."
13. Seth House (b. 1736) buried in Hanover cemetery, was a Revolutionary War private. In Feb 1776, under Capt. Nathaniel Winslow's company, he marched with troops from Hanover under John Bailey to Roxbury in preparation for the attempt to dislodge the British army from Boston. They later passed from camp at Roxbury to Dorchester "under great caution, under cover of the night", to reinforce entrenchments thrown up at Dorchester Heights. In all likelihood, Seth House also soon after participated in the evacuation of British troops from Boston.
14. Benjamin House Jr. (b. 1725) Shipbuilder. This receipt shows he entered at the port of Plymouth, MA from the North River: "Jan. 5 1774. Benj. House Jr., enters sch. "DEFIANCE," 25 tons, from Scituate, with 150 bbls. Mackerel and 3 cords of wood."
15. Samuel House (b. 1779) A farmer. He lived in the Amos Turner House at 562 King St, Hanover. Note - According to the 1855 Census, also living in the house at this time were William House (son of Julius House) and his wife Asenath and their 2 month old son William E.
16. Col. Amos Turner (b. 1741) - see page 2 notes.
17. Peleg House (b. 1754) - Revolutionary War.
18. Abner House (b. 1758) - Revolutionary War.
19. Benjamin House (b. 1761) - Revolutionary War.
20. Joseph House (b. 1762) - Revolutionary War.
21. Samuel House (b. 1823) A farmer. He appears in the 1855 and 1865 Census records for Hanson MA., living with Nabby C. (this is presumably Mary, his wife) and also Jacob Josselyn age 80, who is perhaps Mary's grandfather(?).
22. Julius House (b. 1802) Julius was the son of Sally (dr. of Samuel House and Hannah). She had Julius by H. Keen of Maine, but they were never married. Julius kept his mother's name (House). The 1855 Hanover Census has his place of birth as Vermont, so his birth record should be at the Vermont State Archives? He lived in the Stephen Bailey House on 408 King St, Hanover with his wife Ruth Bailey.
23. Harrison L. House (b. 1866) - civil engineer.
24. Lawrence Carlton House (b. 1898) - surveyor. Died in an automobile accident in Plymouth on Dec. 13 1953.
25. Royal Earl House (b 1814 Rockingham VT) Inventor of the first printing telegraph, which is in the Smithsonian (see http://www.telegraph-history.org/george-m-phelps/house.htm See also http://www.telegraph-history.org/george-m-phelps/index.html)
He "early displayed the inventive genius which, in later life, gave him so much distinction. He was accustomed to experiment in childhood. Once having caught a toad, he skinned it, placed a set of springs in the skin and made it hop."
"He early became interested in mechanics, chemistry and magnetism. The pacticality of the printing telegraph became manifest to him, and he invented a keyboard, a single line of insulated conductors, magnets, type wheels, automatic planters, and paper carriers for several stations adapted for transmitting and printing messages in Roman characters. This invention was first put in operation and exhibeted at the Mechanics Institute NY in 1844. Although the first of its kind, it attained a speed of transmission of over 50 words a minute. He has since made other important inventions in the art of telegraphy".
"Royal Earl House, inventor of the first telegraph printer, was born on September 9, 1814, in Rockland, Vermont. [...] Around 1840, he went to Buffalo, New York to live with relatives and attend law school in that town. However, he read a work on electricity which so inspired him that he decided to give up law, and study and experiment with electricity. His first major invention was the House Telegraph Printer, which printed the message rather than copying it in dots and dashed. The printer could copy and print out up to 2,000 words per hour. Royal House died in Bridgeport, Connecticut at the age of eighty on February 25, 1895."
"By 1846, the Morse telegraph service was operational between Washington, DC, and New York, and new horses were beginning to join what looked to become a very lucrative race. One of these was the Vermont inventor Royal Earl House, who patented a printing telegraph that same year. What House did was link two 28-key piano-style keyboards by wire. Each piano key represented a letter of the alphabet, and, when depressed, caused the corresponding letter to print at the receiving end. A "shift" key gave each main key two optional values. The working principle of the machine was that the rotation of a 56-character typewheel at the sending end was synchronised (no longer an impossibility, given Bain's work with the linked pendulums) to coincide with a similar wheel at the receiving end. If the key corresponding to a particular character was depressed at the home station, it actuated the typewheel at the distant station just as the same character moved into the printing position [readers familiar with the "daisywheel" word processors of the 1970s will recognise this layout immediately]. It was thus an example of a "synchronous" data transmission system. House's equipment could transmit around 40 instantly readable words per minute, but was difficult to manufacture in bulk."
"The House system was closely followed in 1847 by the Siemens automatic dial telegraph [picture], and in 1848 by the operational version of Bain's chemical telegraph (see above) and by a similar system developed by Frederick Bakewell. Bakewell's approach to full page scanning involved electrically insulating areas on a piece of flexible metal foil using shellac as ink. The prepared foil was then wrapped around a rotating cylinder, and a metal stylus tracked slowly around and along it, transmitting when it crossed a bared metal area and not transmitting when it crossed the shellac. A similar drum at the receiving end carried a sheet of impregnated paper, to receive the image. Bakewell demonstrated this system at the 1851 World's Fair in London, but for one reason or another it was another fifty years before there was much of a market for facsimile technology of this sort."
26. James Alford House (b NYC 1838) Educated as an architect, but his taste was for invention, and in 1864 he became the mechanical engineer of the Wheeler and Wilson Mfg. Co. The button hole machine made by this corporation was invented by him in 1862, and the button hole attachment for their family sewing machine was patented by him in 1866. He has also invented an India rubber trunk shield and several sewing machine improvements, etc.
28.Edward H House 1836-1901 Journalist, publicist for Japan etc. Wrote Yone Santo (see http://www.clas.ufl.edu/users/jshoaf/Jdolls/jdollwestern/yone.html) born in Boston MA, son of Timothy & Ellen Maria Child.
29. Henry Alonzo House (1840-1930) inventor. Perfected button attachment for sewing machine with his brother James (see 26 above). Among other inventions (he had about 300 patents) he invented horseless carriage, a "flying machine", a machine for baking Shredded Wheat, a felt hat making machine, a technique for making paper plates, etc. Click Here to read his full biography.
30. David House (b. 1709) Feltmaker.
31. James House James House was a Major of a Company at Fort William Henry from Nov.27, 1755 to Mar.24, 1756. James House of Hanover was Captain of a Co.on the expedition to Crown Point from Mar.29 to Sept.8, 1756.On the back of the instrument he is called Major James House. Cooms House, Seth Witherall and David Gannett were in his Co. James House was Captain in Thomas Clapp's Regt. which marched for the relief of Fort William Henry in August 1757. Index of Obituaries in the Boston Newspapers 1704-1800 James House Esq. of Hanover, at Plymouth, had an Ensigns Commission against the Eastern Indians in Governor Dummers administration, was a Major in the expedition against Crown Point and was in the famous battle at Lake George in September 1755. He died in Hanover Oct.29, 1767.
32. Coombs House (b. 1730) Coombs House was a member of Captain James House' Co. from Hanover on the expedition to Crown Point from Mar.29 to Sept.8, 1756.Coombs House purchased land in Springfield, Vt. Aug.8 1773 and continued to reside in the Town until his death some 20 years later.
