I have just joined this list and I'm seeing mostly obituaries here. I apologize for posting here if this list is mainly for obituaries. Maybe someone can help me. Searching for descendants or relatives of James Decatur Houston, died Nov 5, 1889 at Mt. Magazine(?) in Logan County, Arkansas. His wife was Nancy Grider Mitchell. Also, Martha Ann Houston, b. 1817............ I have a letter from Oliver Houstons wife, (Oliver Houston, b. 1788 d. 1853 Coweta Co, GA) Martha Ann Houston (my great-grandparents) dated and postmarked April 22, 1892 at "Hurricane, Ark" to my grandfather J. C. Houston at Milltown, Alabama. I've always thought this was strange since I was not aware, neither was my mother, that any of our Houstons had moved to Arkansas. Hurricane, Ark, was located in "Selene County" (not sure of the spelling) and if I'm not mistaken, Hurricane no longer exists except as possibly a suburb of Little Rock, and I'm not sure of this. My tree says that James Decatur Houston and Oliver Houston were "1st cousins once removed". Any information on these relatives or descendants will be appreciated! Thanks, Dean Moore
