This is the genealogy of the family of Johann Christian Haus (House) who came from the Alten Staden (Old Town) of Wettzlar in the Duchy of Solm located just west of the city of Giessen in present day Germany. He left for England in 1709 and arrived New York in 1710 as part of the Palatine immigration into New York State during the early part of the eighteenth century. The family was well established in the Mohawk Riover valley before the Revolutionary War, but that war tore apart the Haus family as it did so many others. This is the story of the early settlement of Haus family members and the inmpact of the war.

American Ambassador Lester DeWitt Ballor of UEL descent obtained a copy from The Royal Library of the Hague of Beschayving DerStad Dordrecht by Mattys Balen, Jans Zoon published in 1677. This information provided the first thirteen generations in Holland. He also received a 32-page copy of a lawsuit in 1684 by Jan DeWitt on behalf of his brother Tierck for rent owned by Pieter Janz, their sister Faelde's husband.
