I'm looking for the parents of George HOUCK/HAUCK who was born 1782 in Emmitsburg, Frederick Co., MD and died 1862 in Clark Co., OH. He and his wife Mary/Polly SYNDER came to OH in 1836. His father is said to have been a John HOUCK/HAUCK of PA (possibly Franklin Co), but that's all I have. The family was supposed to have come from the province of Wuttemberg, Germany, in the late 1700s, but I have no details. George's son William became a prominent Springfield businessman according to the biography I have from a local history book.
