"The Black Hawk War was a brief conflict between the United States and Native Americans led by Black Hawk, a Sauk leader. The war erupted soon after Black Hawk and a group of other tribes, known as the ""British Band"", crossed the Mississippi River, into Illinois, from Iowa Indian Territory in April 1832. Black Hawk's motives were ambiguous, but records show that he was hoping to avoid bloodshed while resettling on tribal land that had been given to the United States in the 1804 Treaty of St. Louis."
Americanized form of German Hauser or its Dutch equivalents Huijser, Huiser and Huizer.
English (Middlesex): perhaps an occupational name from Middle English housere ‘builder’, though no medieval bearers have been found, and so in Britain the name may alternatively be exclusively of German and Jewish (Ashkenazic) origin (see Hauser , compare 1 above).
