WILLIAM HAUSE, JR. was born on 22 November 1781 in Warwick, Orange County, New York to Revolutionary War veteran WILLIAM E. HAUSE, SR., and his wife, MARTHA WOOD HAUSE.
William married ESTHER SANFORD on 7 Apr 1804. She was from a prominent local family who had been active in the revolution. The origin of the Sanford family is English, and the surname was first found in Shropshire, where they were seated from very early times and were granted lands by Duke William of Normandy, their liege Lord, for their distinguished assistance at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 A.D. The family Coat of Arms is Quarterly Blue and Ermine, and family motto translates as: "Neither rashly nor timidly."
Esther was born to EZRA SANFORD (1747-1822) and ANNATJE HOPPER (1753-1841), on 22 September 1785, in Warwick, Orange County, New York. Her family had lived in Warwick since 1764. Her father, Ezra, was christened on 5 Apr 1747 in No. Killingworth, Connecticutt, then moved with his father, DAVID SANFORD (1711/12 - 1767) to Warwick, and the family built a house on Cascade Road in 1765. The family lived at that home for four generations, before moving into the valley.
Ezra Sanford served in the Revolutionary War, along with his four brothers, and was a corporal in 4th Regiment out of Orange County. He lived in Warwick for the rest of his life, and had nine children with Ann, including Esther.¹

Soon after marrying, William and Esther moved with his parents to Wayne, Steuben County, New York. Esther's uncle, Rev. Ephraim Sanford, who had moved to Wayne in 1793, lived near them, as well. He was the leading Baptist Minister in Steuben and Allegany Counties. On April 16, 1822, William Jr. helped found the town of Tyrone, along with brothers Joseph and Morris Fant, and lived next door to his sister, Sarah, and brother-in-law, William Harris.
William Hause, Jr., died on the 2nd of January in 1825 in Tyrone Township, Steuben County, New York (Bath County Surrogates Office, Book 2, Page 16), and was buried on Hause Hill (his stone is gone, having crumbled away with time, along with his mother's and father's).
After William died, Esther followed some of her children to Michigan and died on 16 August 1850 in Reading Township, aged 64 years, 11 months. Interestingly, Esther's last name on the stone is spelled "Hawes," not Hause. She's buried in the North Reading Cemetery, Reading, Hillsdale County, Michigan (Plot: Row 1).
William and Esther had ten children and dozens of grandchildren, 17 of whom served the Union cause in the Civil War (four were wounded, one died). The names of those children were:
