There are two sources which document John and Elizabeth's children:  
     (1) Strasburg Lutheran German Records, 1768-1829:  Strasburg, Virginia.  Transcribed and translated by George M. Smith and Klaus Wust.  Edited by Klaus Wust.  Shenandoah Genealogical Source Book No. 13.  Edinburg, VA:  Shenandoah History Publishers, 1997.  Page 18 gives the information for their daughter Anna Maria.  Page 19 gives the data for their son Johannes [and for John and Catherine Greathouse's daughter Elizabeth].  [Page 20 includes John and Catherine's son Isaac.]
     (2) Kentucky State Archives.  Union County Civil Case File, 1819, Box 10, Bundle 46, Accession No. A 1988-216.  A lawsuit filed in 1817 lists all the children except Anna Maria and gives the names of the husbands of the married daughters.  The children listed here are John and David Greathouse, being sued by Harmon, William, Daniel, and Jane Greathouse, Polly (Greathouse) and Charles Adams, and Rebecca (Greathouse) and Isaac Callinder.

Harmon Greathouse 1787 / Identifying Harmon's father
« on: February 02, 2005, 09:44:41 PM »
The information about Harmon gives his birth year as 1750.  Could he have been the son of Henry and Ann's son Peter, who had a son baptized on December 9, 1750?

John Greathouse and Catharina Haack / Revised thoughts on John's father
« on: February 02, 2005, 02:22:33 AM »
Please disregard the part of my 1999 letter in which I felt that John (husband of Catherine Hague) was a son of Johann and Amelia Grothaus.  I think now that John and William (husband of Mary Ann Livingston)were sons of John, the youngest son of Henry and Ann.  Henry's son John was born about 1734 and died in 1796 in Philadelphia.  John (husband of Catherine) was born about 1756 and died in Wabash County, IL, in 1834.

David Greathouse 1770 / Revised thoughts about David's parents
« on: February 02, 2005, 02:07:42 AM »
Please disregard the paragraph from my 1999 letter.  I now think that David, Samuel, and Elizabeth Greathouse were children of Eva Greathouse and her first husband, probably a son of Christian (son of Henry and Ann).
