Info on Jonathon Morehouse
« on: Saturday 12 May 18 07:15 BST (UK) »
Looking for information on Jonathon Morehouse. The only information i have on him is his family was originally from Ireland, may have served for the crown during the american revolutionary war and settled in Nova Scotia in 1784 after the Americans gained Independence.

His fathers name was Isaac and his grandfathers name was Samuel. Any info would be nice, i'd love to know were in Ireland we are from.

There is a baptism in Dublin of Isaac Morehouse here

Father has been transcribed as ‘Page’ but the record looks to read ‘of age’ I think.
I am not sure whether that fits into your timeline. Where do you have Samuel as Isaac’s father?

That's what I'm trying to find out. Short version of Family story that was passed to me.

 We travelled to the new world from Ireland, survived and lived in the united stated for a couple generations. Fought for the loyalists and then moved to Canada when they lost.

I can get as far back as Abraham Morehouse but he is still in the U.S

Samuel was born 1724 in US so you have a difficult task.
