           The surname Maynard was first found in Suffolk where they were seated from early times and their first records appeared on the early census rolls taken by the early Kings of Britain to determine the rate of taxation of their subjects. The family's oldest Coat of Arms is Silver with a chevron between three red hands, and the family motto Translates as: "A just hand is a precious ointment."
           Polly was descended from FRANCIS KENDALL, who was born in 1480 in Westmoreland, England. She and Cyrus traveled from Massachusetts to Steuben County with her parents in 1812, with everything they owned loaded into two lumber wagons.

    Elmer and Emma Hause
       Their son ELMER KENDALL HAUSE was born on 7 Apr 1848 in Hayden, Jennings County, Indiana, one of ten children. Elmer became a carpenter, plasterer and housebuilder. Elmer married EMMA ELVIRA GROSS (1 Mar 1853 - 7 Dec 1937), daughter of MARTIN GROSS and LOVINA RAUSON, in Hayden, Indiana. The Gross surname was first found in Norfolk where they were seated from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D. The family's earliest Coat of Arms is Black with a fess on which there are three red crosses between three silver stars.
           Elmer and Emma were married by Elmer's father Harris, the Justice of the Peace in that area. He tried farming with two of his brothers, which lasted a year. He then decided to move to Clyde, Kansas, where Emma's father Martin Gross lived. When Martin died, they headed back towards Hayden, but one of their sons became ill, and he turned his wagon to Clinton, Missouri, where a sister lived. (Uncle Lyman Maynard also served as a doctor in the area.)
       Elmer was elected Justice of the Peace in Westport, Indiana, and built a home there. But eventually he sold it and moved to Oklahoma, where he planted crops, but the venture failed. Altogether, Elmer followed his trade in five states before settling in Blaine Co., Oklahoma, in 1902. He lived in Blaine until his death. The children of ELMER and EMMA were:

The family's earliest Coat of Arms is a green shield with a gold saltire between three hunting horns. The family motto translates as: "Boldly and earnestly."

       BOBBY RAY HAUSE was born on 11 Aug 1936 in Geary, Blaine County, Oklahoma. He married SHIRLEY JANE WHITE (b. 29 Jul 1932), daughter of WILLIAM J. WHITE and EMMA J. CLIFTON on 10 Jun 1956 in Hutchinson, Reno County, Kansas. The White surname is from the British Isles. A Scottish line can be traced to Coldingham, where "Uuiaett Hwite" witnessed King Eadgar's charter of Coldingham sometime between the years 1097 and 1107. Another line was traced to Ireland after the Anglo-Norman invasion of the 12th century, when Walter Whyte is known to have come to Ireland with 'Strongbow'. An early English line with the White surname was first found in Durham, where the white family held a seat from very early times (pictured at right). Another was found in Gloucestershire where they were anciently seated as Lords of the Manor. An early family Coat of Arms shows a red shield with a chevron vair between three gold lions rampant. The family motto is "Loyal unto death."

       Bob and Shirley retired a few years ago and began their pursuit of genealogy, teaming up with a cousin named CHARLES HAUSE, who had begun researching William Hause Sr. and other ancestors in New York in the late 1960's. Their work has been invaluable to this site, and I'm proud to call Bob and Shirley my cousins (Charles passed away a few years ago). They found this genealogy site on the Internet, and out of the kindness of their hearts have sent in massive amounts of photos and information. Bob and Shirley have been married over fifty years, and these are their children:
