Over 20 years ago John G. Mainprize abstracted occurrences of individuals of the House surname from an index of deeds. The House family was one of the earliest in the Mohawk Valley and mention of members of the extended family appear on our surnames board and in articles within this site. If you see a deed listed below that is pertinent to your own family, contact the Montgomery County Department of History and Archives, as a copy of that deed probably still exists. Beginning genealogists - the word "liber" refers to the volume or book that the deed is recorded in. "This material was copied about 25 years ago when I was just starting in genealogy at the Buffalo and Erie County Public Library. All of the surnames on the grantees list were House. I am certain it was from the Montgomery County Deed Register Book Index, although I do not remember. The info is correct as copied and where I could not read the hand writing (mine or the originator's) I have tried to put underscore lines and a question mark." John G.

John's contribution is going to help many. We hope some of you can help John in his search:
"I am searching for George MAINPRIZE, born about 1830 in Woolneston,Yorkshire and came to Canada about 1840 with two other brothers. I also need info on my HOUSE line and am seeking more info on Capt. Christian House, who came to the Mohawk Valley in the 1760-70's with his father and brothers. I also need GRIFFITH from Durham, Quebec. William Henry Griffith moved to Tonawanda area about 1870."
