ROUSE families in Phelps Co, MO in 1870s

I learned recently that the John H. Rouse in St. James Twp, Phelps Co, MO, between at least 1860 and 1880 was NOT Spaulding's son (though he had one by that name).This John Rouse was b. ca. 1810 in NY (per 1880 census).His wife was Lydia aka Nettie, and children may have includedOren S. Rouse and Mary J. Rouse.Can anyone identify this man?I believe he was related to Spaulding and was the reason the latter and his sons decided to homestead in St. James.
