Hey thanks, Paul, for that interesting information. Now it takes me into a somewhat different direction in finding this Joel House. By the way I meant to tell you that his name appears on at least three of the marriage bonds that relate to his sons. For instance, Martin House, age 30, son of Joel and Keziah House, married to Mary Heilig, age 30, daughter of Eliza and David Heilig. Also, as you know his name is also mentioned as Joseph. My connection is based on the fact that whether he is Joel or Joseph, the spouse he is with her name is Kaziah. Also, all of this is in Rowan County, Gold Hill and Providence Township, North Carolina. Again, Paul, thanks.
Joseph
