Samuel Morehouse belongs to one of the pioneer families of Wood county, and was born in Milton township, August 7, 1857.  His father, Savenus [Sylvanus] Morehouse, was born in Paulding county, Ohio, but the grandfather was a native of Pennsylvania; the former married Cynthia Fuller, and they became parents of the following named children--Leonard, a leading farmer of Milton township; Mary, wife of George Brant, of Toledo, Ohio; Silas, of Milton township; S. Jane, wife of John Finney, of Jackson township; Samuel, a farmer of Milton township; Rosina, wife of Wert Williams, of Jackson township; Anna, who died at the age of four years; and Ira, who died while
serving in the Union army as a member of Company I, 68th O.V.I.  The father, who was born July 1, 1816, died April 11, 1895, and the mother, who was born April 6, 1820, died Feburary 22, 1894.
  Our subject was reared on the old home farm, and at the age of eighteen started out to make his own living, being employed as a farm hand at $1 per day.  In 1876 he began farming with his brother Leonard, and the business relations between them still
exist.  He is a man of excellent business ability, enterprising and industrious, and the neat and thrifty appearance of his land indicates his careful supervision.
   Mr. Morehouse was married in Milton township, August 4, 1887, to Miss Annie Penterburg, a native of this locality, born December 17, 1869.  The children that grace this union are: Nellie May, born March 26, 1889; Pearl, born January 29, 1891; Earl Wayne, born January 7, 1893; and Hazel, born December 29, 1894.  Mr. Morehouse is a Republican in politics, and is deeply interested in the growth and successs of his party.  Socially, he is connected with the Odd Fellows Lodge of Milton Center.
  It will be interesting in this connection to note something more of the brother with which Mr. Morehouse is in business.  Leonard Morehouse is also a native of Milton township, his birth having occurred December 18, 1846.  He is indebted to the common schools for his educational privileges; at the age of fourteen years he began to earn his own living by working as a farm hand, a pursuit which he followed until twenty-eight years of age.  During the war he manifested his loyalty to the government by enlisting in Company I, 144th O.V.I., and continuing in the service until honorably discharged
in September, 1864.  On his return he resumed work as a farm hand, being thus emplyed until 1874, when he purchased forty acres of his presnet farm.  Now, in connection with his brother, he owns and operates 120 acres, and the two gentlemen are numbered among the leading agriculturists of the community.  His political support is also given the Republican party.  Socially he is a member of the I.O.O.F and G.A.R. Post at Weston.

.....
The family is of Scotch-English origin, the name first appearing soon after the year 1000 in North
England, where it was originally Moorhouse, from having built their "houses-upon-the-moors" or
"Moorhouses" as it is still used in Scotland and Yorkshire.
...
Thomas Morehouse, recognized as the emigrant ancestor of most of the American Morehouse
families, was in Watertown, Massachusetts, about 1635; at Wethersfield, Connecticut, 1640; at
Stamford, Connecticut, in 1641, where he was one of the original settlers who purchased the
townsite from the Indians for one hundred bushels of corn. He came from Yorkshire, England,
with the migration of Puritans conducted by Sir Richard Saltonstall. He settled permanently at
Fairfield, Connecticut, prior to 1653 and became prominent in its development--owning the
tide-water mill and being sent as a member to the General Court (Legislature) at Hartford. He left
four sons--Samuel, Thomas, Jonathan and John--who at an early date became the heads of the
numerous branches and descendants which settled in New York, New Jersey, Ohio and the West.'
Thomas Morehouse, the first, died at Fairfield in 1658, leaving a will. It is estimated that over two hundred of his descendants served in the Revolutionary war.

Goals:
Moorhouse, Morehous, Morehouse
(1) To confirm that descendants in various lines from 
Pierpont Morehouse (ca 1776-after 1837) of Bradford Co., Pennsylvania, share the same Y chromosome haplotype.
(2) Assuming objective #1 is achieved, to determine whether such Y chromosome haplotype is shared by descendants of Thomas Morehouse (to Wethersfield, Connecticut, by 1640) and by other Morehouse branches in North America not yet connected to the Thomas Morehouse family.
(3) To determine whether all persons named Morehouse (including persons now living in the United Kingdom) share a common ancestry, and to determine a likely place of origin for the surname.
