Whenever I see any information about a HAUSER I wonder if my gggg/gm might
be related to that family. Does anyone have information on the Elizabeth
HAUSER listed below? I have not been able to discover the names of her
parents or the names of any siblings.

Toward the end of the Revolution/after the Iroqouis Indians had suffered
enough damage that they withdrew to the north (back to New York/Canada
-late 1780s), settlers began to move north along the Susquehanna River. A
major Brethren settlement was in Penn Valley (including Brush Valley) in
Northumberland Co PA, now far eastern Centre Co. Some of these families
moved on to Kentucky and were early in Ohio (c1800).

I've flown over these valleys -they have a tilted cap H shape -toward the
NE-SW, with ridges to both sides, and a broken lower ridge down the center
-with the headwaters of Penn Creek cutting through the center ridge and
going on east clear to the Susquehanna below Lewisburg. It is a very
fertile looking valley, with many dairy farms.

At the Tates Creek Church, west toward Wilmore KY was an early Brethren
Church under Elders Abraham Houser and Jacob Rohrer, of Antietam MD. Elder
Abraham Houser moved on to the Olive Branch Church (Ohio River on Bullskin
Creek, near Felicity OH) about 1802.
