Moses House, ca 1790 SC; Wm House, 1828 AL

I'm looking for information on Moses House born about 1790 in Spartanburg SC, son of Thomas House, Jr., and Amelia.He is found on the 1810 & 1820 Spartanburg census, the 1840 Lauderdale AL census, the 1850 Hardeman TN census with wife Elizabeth, and daughter Nancy.Nancy married JD Clifton in TN.Moses is found on the 1860 Conway Co. AR census, and living close by is daughter Nancy Clifton with children but no husband.Moses married Melissa (Shaw) McGinty in AR in 1853.No record of Moses after 1860.

The 1820 census indicates Moses House had several children whose names are unknown to me.I think he had at least one other, William House, born in AL in 1828.In the 1850 Giles TN census, William is living with David Waldrop and wife Rachel Hoover House.In 1860 William is in Maury Co. TN with wife Mary Keltner and daughters Margaret and Rachel Isabella.In the 1880 census, William House is living with the Gilford Tidwell family in AR.Lastly, in 1900 William House is living with his son-in-law Henry Bailey in Kaufman Co. TX.

If anyone can add anything at all to the above (children's names, wife's name, etc.) I will be very grateful.These guys didn't leave much of a paper trail that I can find, and what is printed here is about allI have.

Many thanks,
Jerry
