n/a         Notes:  1. I marked my known ancestors in blue and references to any Peter House clues in red for my own reference.  2. Where there are differences between Jones and Shaver, I included both entries. See samples at 8 Nov 1737 and 18 Nov 1737.  
n/a     Hause, Hausen, Hausz, Haussz, Haussen, Hausszen, Hauszen   Various possible Dutch spellings for son of Haus, based on my speculations from reading Van Slyke Family history. Don't really know how the "Van" part got in there. Apparently it means from the village of or from the town of or area of…  but again that is my guess. Is or was there a village of Haus in the Netherlands?  Or Aas or Aus ?

The St. Lawrence River was in early times known as the Chelogua or Hochelaga (or Ochelaga) River; named by Cartier. The village of Hochelaga is where Montreal exists now.  Cartier built a fort at the harbor of Ste. Croix.  Canada = north of St. Lawrence River & "Norumbega" = south of St. Lawrence River. ""Canada" derives from Cannata, Iroquois-Huron word meaning a collection of buildings or a town. Quebec = Kebec "where the stream is obstructed"  Mont Royal = Montreal. French fort built on a mountain.  Other place names: Montmorency & Chambriant, both between Montreal & Quebec on the south shore of St. Lawrence. Honguedo on the south shore.
