My Morehouse line seems to descend through Daniel & Mary Morehouse, but I have not been able to prove the connection. That  Daniel was a Loyalist who served in the New York Volunteers, and settled in the York Co., NB. At the time of his will he was recorded as being in Queensbury Parish, and at the execution of the will it is stated he was of St. Marys Parish. Some researchers have listed the Daniel, who married Hannah Hanson, as being a grandson, and others have him listed as a great-grandson. The following seems to be the most prominent version, and may have come from a single source that is not now identified.

Theophilus, born in 1784, {the first ? child of Daniel and Mary} married Mary --(?)--.  Their child: Joshua, who died March 24, 1874, and was the husband of Jane Lawrence, who died the 8th of May, 1872. They had a son Jeremiah, born November 22, 1827, and died at Keswick on the 28th of September, 1911.  Jeremiah's children were Isaac, who married Martha Hanson, and Daniel, who married Hannah --(?)-- and had ten children.

This is incorrect in many ways. Shown by the birth date of 1805, for Daniel Morehouse (husband of Hannah) he could not be a son of someone b. in 1827.  Theophilus, was a veteran of the New York Volunteer's and received a land grant in their allotment at the same time as his father. It is possible that Jeremiah and Daniel were brothers rather than father and son. In one of the later census records there are two children living as children of Isaac² (s/o Daniel¹) and Elizabeth Skelton, one of which was a Jeremiah, which may indicate a close relationship. (He is possibly the Jeremiah who died in 1911.) These children were born past Skelton's childbearing age, so it is thought they were grandchildren. (This is the only time they were placed into this family unit.)

Only time, and new information will clarify this family connection, if indeed there is one. There are several other Loyalist settlers in New Brunswick of this surname, but none residing in the general area, except the Daniel and Jane (Gill) Morehouse, whose home is now part of the Kings Landing settlement. I have researched this line to some extent, and feel that mine does not connect to it here in NB. Perhaps it had in a pre-NB time.

NOTE: I have endeavored to delete all personal data for those who have been born after the early 1900, except where I have death dates. Plus, I have several generations for many lines that take us to this present day, these also have been deleted from these files.
    I would be happy to receive any corrections of additions, and will gladly correspond with anyone on any of these line. I do have more data that has not yet been entered, and the hunt goes on.
