We welcome your continued interest, help and support as we strive to provide an excellent research tool through Greathouse Point, for all Greathouse kith and kin.

We encourage you to visit Greathouse Point often. But please don't just visit Greathouse Point and leave. We need your help. One way to help is through our Greathouse County project, http://greathouse.us/county.

By visiting libraries and courthouses in Greathouse counties and obtaining copies or extracts of records which our Greathouse or associated ancestors left behind, we can more accurately build our Greathouse family history. We are focusing on original documents which were created at or near the time of events which occurred in the lives of our ancestors, to build a firmer foundation for all our Greathouse or associated ancestors, particularly those of the 1700's or early 1800's. If you have copies of marriages, wills or other documents in your files, please share those also, by emailing a copy to: Research@Greathouse.us.

Y-DNA results for the 34th participant were posted on the results page in our Greathouse Y-DNA project. The participant descends through James Greathouse, b. Abt. 1830 in IL.

Based upon the evidence available, James Greathouse, b. Abt. 1830 in IL, was named in census records of Fulton County, IL between 1850 and 1880 and then Mason County, IL in 1900.

The participant's Y-DNA results support that James Greathouse, b. Abt. 1830 in IL, would have been a member of Haplogroup I1, generally from northern Europe. His Y-DNA results matched the baseline haplotype which has been established by 23 participants who represent Herman Grothaus. The participant does share a mismatch at DYS 456 with three other participants who are descended from Harman Greathouse, b. Abt. 1764 and Harman Greathouse, b. Abt. 1787, so this suggests that those participants represent a branch in the genetic Greathouse family of America.

Shortly after receiving the Y-DNA results for this participant, several researchers began working on compiling and analyzing available evidence from Tyler County, WV; Belmont County, OH; and Fulton County, IL:

  • Greathouse of Upper Saucon, Northampton County, PA [added "Abraham Peckman" to 2nd class of Capt. John Robert's Company, 1778 and "Abr'm (illegible)" to the 2nd class of Capt. John Stahl's Company, 1783. From the latter roll, in the 1960s, an index card transcribed for an Abr'm Grothauser appears to have been a transcription error.]
