I want to add a note about your information on John Greathouse and Catharina Haack (Catherine Hague). You give a birth for John of about 1737 in Pennsylvania and a death on November 20, 1834, in Mt. Carmel, Wabash County, Illinois. I believe that you have two John Greathouses combined here. Heinrich/Henry's youngest son, John, was born about 1734 in PA, but he was undoubtedly the John who died in PA without a will in 1796. I believe that, that John was the father of the John who married Catherine Hague and the William who married Mary Ann Livingston (in 1782). Catherine's husband was probably born about 1756 in PA; was married to Catherine about 1777 in Shenandoah County, VA; and died in Wabash County, IL, in 1834.
