Michael had a wife named Rachel, but I have personally found no
documentation of their marriage date or of her last name. Information I have is primarily from others, not my personal research.
My notes say that Lila Greathouse Gold (I do not know this person) has a marriage date for Michael
Greathouse and Rachel Hustead of 12 Oct 1792, but doesn't say where they married. Also shown is
Michael born 1765 and Rachel 1773, dau of Moses and Sarah Goodwin Hustead/Husted.
Her information may have come from: Taylor Heritage Book page 234:
Michael Greathouse lived on Berry Run born ca 1765, married 12 Oct 1792 to
Rachel Hustead, b ca 1773, the dau of Moses and Sarah (Goodwin) Hustead
their dau Sarah b ca 1801 married Francis Goodwin

25 July 1791 Harrison Co, but WV History and Culture site shows John Beard
marrying Mary Unsil on 25 Dec 1791.
