John Houston + Mary Calhoun

ARHgenealogy — 10 Oct 2008 3:50:05 GMT

Ancestry.com lists a marriage in Abbeville between John Houston and Mary Calhoun, 1774-1890.

According to 1823 Delaware probate records, my 3G-Grandfather, John R. Huston/Houston was married to Polly Calhoun/Calhoon, daughter of Elisha and Alice (Alcey) Calhoon of Sussex County, Delaware. Other than the mention in Elisha Calhoun's probate administration of "John Houston and Polly his wife", I have found no reference to this marriage in either the Delaware or Maryland archives.

I'd like to pursue the Abbeville marriage, but the date is given only as 1774-1890. Does anyone have any information on the Abbeville marriage of John Houston and Mary Calhoun, or where I could go to nail down the date? Thank you!

Alexander Houston and William Houston of Ballemeanaghe & Cullybackey'

JimHouston49 — 7 Sep 2007 12:59:15 GMT

Shirley,

For some reason your message concerning the subject individuals was removed from the message boards. Or at least I couldn’t find it. However, I'll try to restate the question as I remember it, along with a response.

(Q1) Who was the father of the Alexander Houston of Ballemeachan who married Anna Edmonstone and was he living at the time of the marriage?

(R1) I believe the father of this Alexander Houston was WILLIAM HOUSTON 4th of Cotreoch, who was married to KATHERINE VAUS. WILLIAM HOUSTON 4th of Cotreoch died, I believe, between Bet. 08 Jul 1645 - 13 Jun 1655, so he was living at the time of the marriage in 1625.

(Q2) Who was William Houston of Ballemeanaghe & Cullybackey' and what was his relationship to Alexander Houston of Ballemeachan?

(R2) I am not absolutely sure about this but I believe that this William Houston of Ballemeanaghe & Cullybackey who was living at the time of the aforementioned 1625 marriage, may have been the son of WILLIAM HOUSTON, 3rd of Cotreoch, (Alexander Houston's grandfather) and Katherine McCulloch, Lady Jedburgh.

Captain Thomas Houston and Benedict Arnold, April 1779

JimHouston49 — 11 Sep 2008 10:59:30 GMT

Those who have Captain Thomas Houston of the Pennsylvania Navy in their family tree may be interested in a court case involving Captain Thomas Houston and Benedict Arnold in April 1779 documented in the Google Books on-line document titled, "Proceedings of a General Court Martial for the Trial of Major General Arnold", by Francis Suydam published in 1865 and available at http://books.google.com/books?id=pEgSAAAAYAAJ&pg=RA1-PA8...

I have not been able to tie my line of the Houstons with Captain Thomas Houston but I believe that his parents were Hugh Houston and Jean or Jane Ramsey both born in Scotland. Captain Thomas Houston was the father of Charles Houston a famous judge of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.

David Brown Houston Jr., 77,
dearly loved husband, father, friend and teacher and lifelong advocate of peace and social justice, died quietly at home in Churchill on Friday, April 4, 2008. He was born Dec. 21, 1930, in Philadelphia to David and Elizabeth Houston, graduated from the Wharton School and received his Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania. David began his career as a professor of insurance at the Wharton School and later held posts as professor of economics at the University of California, Los Angeles, and Pennsylvania State University. He then joined the department of economics at the University of Pittsburgh, where he touched the lives of many students over his lifetime as a teacher who connected economics with political decision-making and issues of social justice. In the early 1970s, he was a founder of Pitt's Alternative Curriculum. He was an active member of the Union of Radical Political Economists and became the managing editor of the Review of Radical Political Economics. Often contributing his voice and presence as an advocate for peace, he was active and outspoken about the evils of war. As a familiar friend among Pittsburgh's progressive community, he also was a founder of People's Oakland and a frequent contributor to many organizations seeking an equalizing of power in American society. He is survived by his wife, Janice L. Carlino, and children, Penelope, of Oakland, Calif., Mark, of Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, France, and Heidi and grandchild Laura, of Seattle. Visitation with the family will be from 3 to 8 p.m. Sunday and 2 to 8 p.m. Monday in the home. He will be buried in Middletown, N.Y.

Annie Houston, born 1904 Poplar, London. England

melpemberton — 19 Nov 2007 12:33:43 GMT

Annie Downs, nee Houston, was my maternal grandmother; she was tragically killed in the Blitz in WW2, along with her 3 youngest children (Derek, aged 4 years; Margaret Rose, aged 3 years, and Iris, just 1 year).

Annie's widower, William Mark Downs, remarried in 1943, but this was not a happy outcome for my Mum and she left home when she was 16. I never knew any of my Mum's family, and have never even seen a picture of my grandmother or grandfather, so I am desperately seeking any relative (especially one who has any photos they would be happy to copy for me).

This is the first time that I have done any research into my grandparents, as the loss of her Mum and baby brother and sisters is something that is still, after 67 years, incredibly raw and painful for my Mum. She has never had a photo of her Mum and I would dearly love to find one for her. PLEASE HELP, if you can.

Many thanks

Ballyne-CABRAGH alias Ballyne-cabra.

There were townlands of "Cabragh" and "MONAGHAN"
in the Civil Parish of Kirkinriola, co. Antrim, Northern Ireland c.1830. Would these townlands be those above, near the Parish of Skerry ?

In 1630 there was an Alexander Houston tenant on lands of Robert Adair. Robert Adair's father, William Adair had married a Miss Houston.

There was a Captain Alexander Houston (a widower ?) who was killed by rebels at "Aubra" (possibly "Cabra") in 1641.
His (eldest ?) daughter, Janet Houston, and her younger brothers and sisters fled to Scotland -
refer "Records of the Synod of Lothian & Tweeddale", 1640-41.
Captain Alexander Houston appears to have been a younger son of William Houston who had one-quarter of lands with William Adair in County Antrim, N. Ireland.

DRILLING BEGINS AT CHANDLER

How a School Teacher Won a Free Trip to the World's Fair

Chandler: Drilling has commenced here on the first oil well to be prospected in this vicinity. The well has been christened "No. 1 of the Chandler Oil and Gas Company" by Miss Ethel Houston, a school teacher. She conceived the idea of taking her pupils to see the initial work of the drillers and before she left climbed the derrick and broke a bottle of wine on the upright. When the board of directors heard of her feat they voted to send her to the World's Fair this summer, to furnish a free pass and pay her expenses for thirty days while at the exposition.

Henry was married to Lucretia POOL (daughter of Ephraim and Lucretia POOL). Henry's mother's name is listed as Anna, (89 years of age and born in NC) on the 1860 Stewart Co., TN census. I do not have any sibling information for Henry HOUSTON, Sr.

Henry HOUSTON, Sr. and Lucretia had the following children:

Emily Margaret HOUSTON -- b. 1833 TN

RobertBettsnj — 21 Sep 2007 6:41:02 GMT

My great grandmother was Emily Margaret Houston, born 1833 in Maury Co. Tn. Her father was Richard Franklin Houston (some records have him as Franklin Richard Houston) b-1794 in Iredell Co., North Carolina. Family lore has maintained for a century and a half that her Houston line was closely related to Gen. Sam Houston, possibly a cousin. Emily married Elbert Green Betts (1821-1876) in DeSoto Parish, La. in Apr 1853. I have a copy of their marriage certificate. They eventually moved to leon. Co. Tx. where they had 9 children, six of whom lived to adult life, my grandfather, Franlin, being one of them. e believe Emily's grandfather to have been James Franklin Houston (1747-1819. Can you shed any more light on this "tradition" or help us put it to rest? Thank you, robertbettsnj@comcast.net

David & Mary HOUSTON of Rowan Co., NC

J7Y42 — 23 Jul 2005 10:55:20 GMT

"Hello Cousins!"

Am hoping that one or more of you may be familiar with the family of David and Mary (MORRISON) HOUSTON of Rowan Co., NC. David (1718-1762 NC) and Mary (1719-1781 NC) had a dau. Jean, who is referred to in her mother's will as Jean WATSON.

Might any of you know for a fact that Mary's estate packet has been searched and the identity of Jean (HOUSTON) WATSON's husband revealed? Some WATSON family researchers are most confident that Jean HOUSTON was the wife of James WATSON (1738-1802 SC), while at least one other researcher has stated that she married one David WATSON.

Who married Jean HOUSTON? James, David, or still another yet unidentified WATSON? Any and all assistance in resolving this question once and for all will be most appreciated!

Thank you "Cousins!"

Peter Houston -- Delivers Letter for Margaret Magaret Tudor Queen of Scotland, 1526

JimHouston49 — 30 Sep 2007 1:02:36 GMT

Houston Cousins,

On pages 5-10 of the Google On-Line book titled, "Letters of Royal and Illustrious Ladies of Great Britain"***, is a transcription of a letter from Margaret Tudor, Queen of Scotland, widow of James IV, to Cardinal Wolsey, dated 21 August 1526. On page 7 of the referenced document appears the following text;

“------------ and therefore this present bearer, master Peter Howstoun, shall declare you the same; to whom in these behalfa you please give firm credence.”

I believe that this Peter Houston is the brother of PATRICK HOUSTON of that Ilk who was killed with the Earl of Lennox about 04 Sep 1526 At Aven, Near Linlithgow (just a few days after this letter was written) attempting to rescue Margaret's son, James V from captivity (PATRICK HOUSTON of that Ilk MAY be my 13th great-grandfather).

Comments?

James Houston, Marksman at Siege of Londonderry

JimHouston49 — 1 Sep 2007 11:25:17 GMT

All,

In the book, "Christopher Houston, 1829-1892", Compiled by Kenneth Houston and published 1973 in Chicago by Adams Press, it is claimed that James Houston the marksman who killed the king's standard bearer during the siege of Londonderry in 1689 is the grandson of Anthony Houston of Drummaston and his wife Susan Murray. This Anthony Houston of Drummaston, son of WILLIAM HOUSTON, 4th of Cotreoch, and KATHERINE VAUS is, I believe, my 9th great-uncle.

Unfortunately, the author of the book did not provide any documentation validating a connection between Anthony Houston of Drummaston and this James Houston. Anyone out there have any documentation one way or the other on this connection?

Thankyou. Yes, there do appear to be some of my recent messages deleted for some reason - probably just a glitch in the system.

Galloway Charters GD138/1/207. 2 Sep 1592.
Instrument of Sasine. - Alexander Stewart now of Clarie was infeft as heir
to his deceased father ANTHONY Stewart of Clarie,
in the
10 merklands of Grange,
5 merkland of Clarie,
5 merkland of Over Bar,
5 merkland of Barlauchlene
5 merkland of Barquharrane
lying in the parish of Pennyinghame,
reserving to Barbara Gordon relict (widow) of said Anthony Stewart of Clarie
and now spouse of the said Alexander Agnew of Ardoch,
the liferent of Grange and Barlachlene and (widow’s) terce of the other lands.
To be held in chief of Alexander (..........) Bishop of Galloway
25 Sep 1592.

In 1621 Ludovic (Stewart) Duke of Lennox,

with the consent of Alexander Stewart of Clarie
(a cadet of the House of Garlies)

Perhaps Anthony Houston have been a descendant of

William Houston of Cotreoch, Notary Public for the Privy Council in 1585?

JimHouston49 — 7 Jun 2003 12:20:32 GMT

All,

Thought you all might find this transaction I found in the document, "Register Of The Great Seal Of Scotland", Vol III, 1578-1585 interesting. This is the second time that I have seen William Houston referenced as a notary public (the first may be found on page 19 of the document titled, "Scottish Record Society, Charter Chest of the Earldom of Wigtown, 1241-1681"). This document includes the notation, "Trottreoth (?Cottrouthe), like perhaps there was an transcription problem in the original record. This appears to me to be quite close to "Cottreoch" which is a common spelling of the manor which the Houstons of Cotreoch occupied in Whithorn (or Quitherne), Wigtownshire. So, what do you all think? Am I barking up the wrong tree or could this possibly be our William Houston of Cotreoch?

Frank HOUSTON/HUSTON possibly from OH died 1907

mrstkdsd — 8 Aug 2007 12:47:42 GMT

I am looking for information on a Frank HOUSTON, possibly/likely from OHIO. The only information I have is that he was married to my great-grandmother, Olive "Bessie" MARTIN, probably about 1905, probably in OHIO and that they had one son, LaDoit Marion HOUSTON b: 16 AUG 1906, possibly in VanWert Co., OH. According to information I have from another descendant, Frank died in 1907. My great-grandmother was born in 1888, so I am guessing he was born somewhere around that time. She was from the VanWert Co., OH area, although I have not been able to locate her on the 1900 census, so she could have been living somewhere else at that time. I believe her and her siblings were farmed out after their mother died in 1896.

Anyone have a Frank HOUSTON in their family tree that might be a connection?

Send off for John Houston of that Ilk, Late Provost of Glasgow, circa 1610

JimHouston49 — 8 Jul 2007 10:09:29 GMT

Page 29 of the Google online book titled, "Memorials of the Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow, 1599-1850" (http://books.google.com/books?id=xU8BAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA29&am... ) , describes an elaborate and expensive send off for John Houston of that Ilk who took his own life circa 1609 (brief abstract included below). The word "bowelling" below apparently describes the embalming process performed on John Houston. Embalming was unusual at this time and one wonders if the embalming process was required because John had committed suicide.

Jim Houston

29

“Two years later we come on a minute regarding him, dated 26th May, 1610, which need not be quoted in full, but the essential part is here given. “The said James Braidwod debursit and gaif furth the said sowme [‘fourtie poundis money’] to maister Petir Low, pairtlie for his fey and pairtlie for the expensis maid be him in bowelling of the lard of Howstoun, lait provest; thairfoir the said James be this present act is dischargit of the said sowrne resauit be him as said is, and siklyke ordanis ane warrand to be direct to Robert Hogisyard, thesaurer, vnder subscriptioun of the clerk, to ansuer Mareoun Steward of the sowme of xxxvij ii xs as for wyne and vthir expenssis furnist and maid be hir the tyme of the said provestis bowelling.” The minute requires a word of explanation. Why it was that the defunct Sir John Houston, late Provost of Glasgow, was not allowed to sleep with his fathers without being subjected to the procedure of “bowelling”; in what that process consisted; and why in connection therewith there was incurred such a considerable bill for wine and other et cetras, as if the occasion had been something of a gaudeamus or an Irish wake—these are points on which the minute quoted throws no light.”

Cicero 'Irvin' HOUSTON m. Martilla WARREN -- GA > TX

CameronAshley — 17 Jun 2007 2:31:15 GMT

Seeking more information on this family and contact with living descendants to exchange information. (I am from the Warren line).

She was 17 and he was 21 when they were first farming in Franklin and Enon Grove, Heard Co. GA. As of June 1870 they had no children yet. ‘Irvin’ Houston was the son of Samuel F. Houston (1821 GA) and his wife Frances Houston (b.1829 GA daughter of Oliver Houston and Cynthia Flournoy. They were cousins.) Samuel Houston, Irvin’s father, was first in 1850 in Coweta Co. GA. Then he is found in 1860 working as an ‘Overseer’. By 1870 he is farming in Heard Co. GA. He later moves to Meriwether Co.

Martilla (Warren) Houston lived with her husband in Georgia where a number of their children were born, but by Nov 1885 they had moved their family to Panola County, Texas and were farming. Their last child was born 1897 and Martilla’s husband C.I.‘Irvin’ Houston died on 27 Aug 1899. He is buried in the Williamson Cemetery in Panola County, TX. It is on a list of ‘lost’ cemeteries as it is very small and mostly comprised of Williamson family members. (Directions to this little-known cemetery were: From Carthage go westbound on State Highway 315 for 13.2 miles to the intersection with FM 348. Turn right on to FM 348 and travel northbound for 2.8 miles, going through downtown Longbranch, to the point where Panola County Road 152 intersects to the right. Turn right on to CR 152 and travel 1.5 miles to the point where a Lone Star Gas Pipeline crosses the county road. The cemetery will be located on the west side of the pipeline right-of-way and north of the county road.)

James Houston -- Siege of Londonderry (1689)

JimHouston49 — 13 Jun 2007 11:56:55 GMT

I Found this text on page 378 on the book, “A History of the Irish Presbyterians”, by William Thomas Latimer published in 1902

“The Rev James Houston of Ballindrait received his training in this seminary [academy at Strabane]. Mr. Houston was descended from James Houston a celebrated marksman, who killed the standard-bearer of King James as His Majesty approached the walls of Londonderry. Mr. Houston’s son Christopher, a boy of nine years old, was with him during the siege. That boy, afterwards became the father of three sons; one of these was the grandfather of the Rev. James Houston, Ballindrait; another was grandfather of Messrs. Ross Houston, Edergole, James Houston, Lifford, John Houston, Ballynahatty, and Patrick Houston, Beragh; and the third was the great-grandfather of the Rev. John Houston, Ballynahatty. “

Anybody have additional information on this James Houston, his ancestors or descendants?
