From THE CHRISTIAN HUSS FAMILY TREE, by Fae Elaine Scott, 1972, Bodie Printing Company, Angla, Indiana:
NOAH HUSS
Clay Huss records that Noah Huss was born "Feb. 21, 1790 ... in Pennsylvania." Martha Malvina Huss Connelly records that Noah Huss was born "Feb. 21, 1791 ... in Pennsylvania." We believe that he was born Feb. 21, 1790. Noah's father was John Huss.
In 1810 we find John Huss living in Lower Chanceford Township, York Co., Pa. He and his wife are over 45 years of I age. Living with him, he has one son over 10 and under 16, two sons over 16 but under 26, two dau. over 10 and under 16, and one dau. over 16 but under 26.
Noah was the eldest son of John Huss who died before May 15, 1821. At the time of his death, John was living on 170 acres of unpatented land in Chanceford Township, County of York, Pennsylvania. His wife had preceded him in death. Some of his children may have been minors at this time. He did not leave a will.
On May 15, 1821, Noah, John's eldest son, petitioned the court to settle John's estate. John's heirs were listed as follows: Noah Huss; John Huss; James Huss; Jane who m. Stephen Owings; Mary, widow of James Wade; Agnes, widow of James Love; Margaret who m. John Marlin; Elizabeth Huss; Maria who md. Christian Burkholder; and Ellen who m. Jacob James.
John Huss was probably born between Noah's birthday and 1794. There is the possibility that John and Noah were twins, since there are twins in the Huss family.
James Huss was probably born in 1800.
Jane was probably born in 1784. Her husband, Stephen Owings (or Owing or Oweng), died between Sept. 14, 1824 and Nov. 3, 1827.
Agnes was probably born between 1780 and 1784.
Maria m. Christian Burkholder. We find Christian Burkholder who died Dec. 21, 1834, aged 34 years, 4 months, and 4 days, and who was buried in the Bethel Methodist Episcopal Cemetery, Chanceford Township, York Co., Pa. This may have been the husband of Maria Huss. In the Pa. Orphan's Court we find this record: Nov. 7, 1837, Maria Burgholder presented her account of the administration of Christian Burgholder's estate. Christian had lived in Lower Chanceford. Maria was the administratrix. On April 8, 1845, William Cowen was appointed the guardian of Christian H. Burkholder, 17 years of age, and George Washington Burkholder, under the age of 14, children of Christian and Maria Burkholder. Christian presented his petition and Maria presented George's petition.
This is all we know of Noah's brothers and sisters.
On Sept. 18, 1822 Noah Huss made an account of his administration of the estate of John Huss and asked to be dismissed. On Nov. 4, 1822, he reported his balance of $8.21. He had not disposed of the farm.
In the History of Sandusky Co., published by Williams and Bros. Co., Cleveland, 1882, we find that "Noah and Mary Huss came to Fairfield in 1822 and in 1825 to Green Creek Township", Sandusky Co., Ohio. Clay Huss related that Noah "came to Ohio over the Zane Trace, or trail, which was the main emigrant route westward from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to Ohio. He came to Green Creek Township, Sandusky Co., Ohio, in 1824, arriving late in the fall." Clay told Fae that Noah purchased 1,200 acres of land at $1.25 an acre and that Noah wrote his own deeds.
Clay Huss further states that "The family lived in their covered wagon until a log cabin was built in the woods in Section 18, on lands afterwards known as the Kernahan farm. This location is on the present State Route 19, north of Green Springs. The early life of this hardy pioneer was beset with hardship and grave responsibilities, clearing the land for cultivation, rescuing the small crops from the depredations of the wild life that resented intrusion, also, the fear of safety for the family from the members of the Seneca Indian Tribe which occupied lands in the vicinity.
"The Reservation was about one and one-half miles southward from their cabin, the Council House being at this location on the Reservation. At this date there has been erected by the Sandusky County Historical Society, a bronze tablet on a native boulder brought to this section by the huge glacier which covered this section thousands of years ago, marking the spot where one of the popular chiefs of the tribe was cruelly executed by some of his own tribesmen."
Noah Huss was a veteran of the War of 1812 from Maryland. He was probably a York Volunteer. The British had burned Washington, D. C. in August, 1814. This upset the Pennsylvania Dutch farmers. The British were getting too close to their lands and they didn't want their crops burned. Men from Lebanon, Bucks, Dauphin, Schuylkill, Lancaster, Berks, Chester, and York Counties gathered. They marched from York, Aug. 29, 1814. Noah joined them on Aug. 30, as they marched toward Baltimore, Maryland. When they arrived they joined the troops at North Point, overlooking Fort McHenry. The infantry defended this place during the battle. After the battle they were registered by the Maryland troops: thus we find his war record available through Maryland. Noah served in Lt. Col. Cobean's Battalion of Pa. Volunteer Infantry. He was a private in Capt. Robert Colvin's Company of Infantry. Capt. Colvin's Company was composed of 100 men from Fawn, Hopewell, and Chanceford Townships, York Co. Noah served from Aug. 30 to Sept. 16, 1814. He was in service until Sept. 18, 1814. Two days were allowed for his return home. Fort McHenry was bombarded Tues., Sept. 13, 1814. It looks like Noah was there when the "Star-Spangled Banner" was written.
Noah and Mary (Burkholder) Huss were m. May 14, 1811, as recorded by Martha Malvina Huss Connelly. Martha gives Mary's birth date as Jan. 27, 1789, in York Co., Pa. Clay states that Mary was b. Feb. 1, 1789. Mary d. at the age of 59 years, 11 months, and 12 days. Noah d. July 22, 1843, aged 53 years, 5 months, and 1 day. His grave is marked by a plaque of the War of 1812. They are buried at Bakertown Cemetery on the Clyde-Green Springs Road. Both graves are marked by headstones. Bakertown Cemetery is in Sandusky Co., O.
Noah and Mary Huss had 11 children.
Ellen (Eleanor), b. June 7, 1812 in York Co., Pa., m. David Hawk in 1829. They had 14 children. We have a record of 13: David of Green Creek Twp.; John of Calif.; Mary (Hutchins) of Ballville; Lewis, who was in Andersonville Prison and d. in Florence, South Carolina; Noah of Green Creek Twp.; Elizabeth (Parker) of Iowa; James of Green Creek Twp.; George of Green Creek Twp.; Eliza (Scholey) of Clyde; Clementine (Flora) of Green Creek Twp.; Clarissa (Moore) of Wood Co.; Cyrus of Green Creek Twp.; and Alice (Young) of Green Creek Twp. Clementine and Clarissa were twins.
John, b. Dec. 7, 1813, in York Co., Pa., m. Lany Guinall (or Gunell) on Oct. 23, 1833. They had James Guinell; Wesley (or J. W.); and Benjamin, d. at age 5. Lany died. John then married Margaret Hampshire on Oct. 14, 1842. They had Susan Harriet; Lucy O.; William O.; Jacob Noah (or Jacob Norton); Marvin Allen and Mary Alice, twins; Charles Albert; Sarah Ann Abigail;
