Ok then, starting the Generator shouldn't have anything to do with the house batteries....as well as "cranking" the engine shouldn't have anything to do with them also. Therefore, I think the generator not starting is a separate issue from your house battery issue.
As far as your house batteries are concerned, I think that they are kaput and won't hold a charge. Running the engine for 30 minutes should have charged them up to a sufficient level that they will hold for quite a while. I think that by the time you "cranked" the engine a few times, it would be enough time for the house batteries to lose their charge.
Check their voltage after charging and monitor them for about 10 minutes. If the voltage drops off to less than 12.2 volts, you have a bad one and need to replace it. If you have multiple house batteries, it would be best if you replaced all at the same time.
Hope this helps
