Biography
From the book"Descendants of John Houser 1709-1763" by Elmer A Houser Jr. published 1991: See page 15
John Houser 1747-1833 was about 17 years old when his father, John, died in 1763. Though the family received considerable help fro Uncle Jacob who lived nearby, it fell to John as the eldest son to take up major responsibility for the welfare of his mother (Mary E. George) and his six young brothers and sisters. He inherited several hundred acres from his father and with great determination, John turned to farming.
He grew to manhood and married Anna Maria Elizabeth Herleman about 1775. She was born on 5 Mar 1747 in New Providence Two. Montgomery Co, PA, the daughter of Sebastian and Maria Magdalena Herleman She was baptized on 31 March 1747 at Augustus churn in Montgomery Co.
In 1776, John Houser, Private in Capt. John Shyrer's Copany, 2nd Battalion of the York Co. Militia, marched to Perth Amboy, New Jersey. He also served under Captain George Gyselman, Pennsylvania Militia.
Elizabeth Herleman Houser died about 1790 and John remarried, Elizabeth Boytkin born about 1770, some 23 years younger than John. It is interesting to note that Sebastian Herleman's will, written in 1791 and probated in 1794 after his daughter's death, named John as one of his sons in law. While there is no certain explanation for this, it is likely that Sebastian simply wanted to pass part of his estate to his grandchildren and the fact that his daughter was dead and her husband had remarried, did not change that desire. I think he trusted his son in law. Contributor: Carolyn Shelhamer

John Houser was about 17 years old when his father died, according to Elmer A. Houser. John became the responsible member of the household (mother and six younger siblings). His uncle Jacob Houser helped out, but John inherited several hundred acres from his father, John Houser,
died and resorted to farming.

Emigrated from Lincoln County, NC to Knox County, TN.,

Excerpt from Elmer A. Houser:
"In 1795, after hearing glowing reports of life in Lincoln Co. North Carolina from his brother, Henry, John began buying land there and he and his brother Peter sold their land in York Co. and moved to Lincoln Co. John received 1,400 Pounds Sterling for his land. While 200 year extrapolations are highly unreliable, it is likely that 1,400 Pounds would be equivalent to about $5 million today. So, John was a wealthy man when he arrived in North Carolina. There is some basis for believing that John spent a short time in South Carolina with his brother, Henry, before settling in Lincoln Co.

"John lived in the Indian Creek/Howard Creek Communities of Lincoln Co., for approximately fifteen years. Several of his children grew to adulthood and married there. However, about 1812, John got word that his younger brother, George had come across an attractive situation in the
southeastern part of Knox Co. Tennessee, involving leasing large acreages from the Cherokee Indians at a very low cost.

"So, John packed up several members of his family and set off for East Tennessee. Though it was only about 150 miles 'as the crow flies,' it involved a much more circuitous route around the rugged 6600 foot Appalachian Mountains. Up the twisting valleys, steep slopes and through the mountain 'gaps' the total travel distance was probably 3-400 miles. About 1816, John moved almost his entire family to Knox Co."

and...."In accordance with treaties of the time, the land 'south-of-the-river,' (south of the Tennessee and French Broad Rivers) was a part of the Cherokee Nation. However, by 1812 a number of fierce 'Indian fighters' such as John Sevier and several Indian and white 'Agents' had made some land available for settlement under lease arrangements with the Cherokees. A few years later, new treaties were made with the Indians, and John and George obtained title to their land, George in 1816 and John in 1820.

"At any rate, John and George set about establishing a small German speaking community in the 'Stock Creek' region of southeast Knox Co. At first it was made up of about three dozen families, mostly children of John and George. (John and George each had 13 children.) They established their church. What was known as the German Lutheran Kirke of St. Paul's (later Zion Lutheran) held their first meetings in the homes of John and George Houser. By the spring of 1818, a log-block type church was erected on land donated by John near the site of the present Zion Lutheran Church.",

John Houser was about 17 years old when his father died, according to Elmer A. Houser. John became the responsible member of the household (mother and six younger siblings). His uncle Jacob Houser helped out, but John inherited several hundred acres from his father, John Houser,
died and resorted to farming.

Emigrated from Lincoln County, NC to Knox County, TN.,

Excerpt from Elmer A. Houser:
"In 1795, after hearing glowing reports of life in Lincoln Co. North Carolina from his brother, Henry, John began buying land there and he and his brother Peter sold their land in York Co. and moved to Lincoln Co. John received 1,400 Pounds Sterling for his land. While 200 year extrapolations are highly unreliable, it is likely that 1,400 Pounds would be equivalent to about $5 million today. So, John was a wealthy man when he arrived in North Carolina. There is some basis for believing that John spent a short time in South Carolina with his brother, Henry, before settling in Lincoln Co.

"John lived in the Indian Creek/Howard Creek Communities of Lincoln Co., for approximately fifteen years. Several of his children grew to adulthood and married there. However, about 1812, John got word that his younger brother, George had come across an attractive situation in the
southeastern part of Knox Co. Tennessee, involving leasing large acreages from the Cherokee Indians at a very low cost.

"So, John packed up several members of his family and set off for East Tennessee. Though it was only about 150 miles 'as the crow flies,' it involved a much more circuitous route around the rugged 6600 foot Appalachian Mountains. Up the twisting valleys, steep slopes and through the mountain 'gaps' the total travel distance was probably 3-400 miles. About 1816, John moved almost his entire family to Knox Co."

and...."In accordance with treaties of the time, the land 'south-of-the-river,' (south of the Tennessee and French Broad Rivers) was a part of the Cherokee Nation. However, by 1812 a number of fierce 'Indian fighters' such as John Sevier and several Indian and white 'Agents' had made some land available for settlement under lease arrangements with the Cherokees. A few years later, new treaties were made with the Indians, and John and George obtained title to their land, George in 1816 and John in 1820.

"At any rate, John and George set about establishing a small German speaking community in the 'Stock Creek' region of southeast Knox Co. At first it was made up of about three dozen families, mostly children of John and George. (John and George each had 13 children.) They established their church. What was known as the German Lutheran Kirke of St. Paul's (later Zion Lutheran) held their first meetings in the homes of John and George Houser. By the spring of 1818, a log-block type church was erected on land donated by John near the site of the present Zion Lutheran Church.",
