Mrs. Abram D. Smith of Newark N. Y. wrote, concerning her application for membership in the Daughters of the War of 1812 on Dec. 20, 1930, regarding the descendants of Major Joseph House:

"My mother was the daughter of Daniel Diefendorf and Katherine House, and the latter was the daughter of Abram House and Maria Smith. Abram House was the son of Major Joseph House and Elizabeth Young. I have the dates of their births and deaths. Both Abram and Joseph lived near Fort Plain, the latter at what was called Fort Plank in Dutchtown district. Abram House afterward lived on the farm of the Commander of Fort Plank and Joseph House was in charge during the absence from the fort of the Commander"

Early on in the Americam Revolution, Abraham's father Joseph House purchased the property of his father-in-law Johann Adam Young which encompassed approxiamtely 1730 acres located in several land patents. In 1803, Abraham's father purchased half of the estate of his mother in Lot Two of the Peter Waggoner Patent, and half of Frederick Blank's portion of Lot Two of the Hartman Windecker Patent.

The above has been verified through information on Ken D. Johnson's fort-plank.com website and "The Bloodied Mohawk: The American Revolution in the Words of Fort Plank's Defenders and Other Mohawk Valley Partisans," published by Picton Press in June of 2000.
