Michael Houck was son of Peter and Anna Maria Schwedener Hauch/Houck/Houk of Berks Co., PA Peter died there 1761 and Anna Maria m.(2) before 1764 to Thomas Winkler and the family was in Rowan, later Burke & Lincoln, now Catawba Co., NC by 1768. This is all proven by the Church records in Reading, PA. You have to look at the marriage record for Michael's sister, Anna Maria to Frederick Mauser in 1764 for proof and the 1768 Rowan Co., NC Tax list. Michael was not yet 16, but he had two brothers listed on the list. See "German Speaking People West of The catawba River in nC 1750-1800 for more on these families....The Hauch records in Europe is also available in one of Annette Burgert's books on European immigrants to America. I forget which one....
