I think that this William is anther line than the one I am researching. I found some information this summer on my William HUSTON in a book about Lee Co VA. It said the following: Virginia, with his father WILLIAM HUSTON, from Frederick County, Virginia. He and his brother JOSEPH were located at Portsmouth, but WILLIAM HUSTON, their father went to Piqua and resided there until his death in 1822. "WILLIAM HUSTON'S wife name was SUSANNAH BOYD, born in Maryland. She came with her husband to Ohio in 1802. They erected a pole cabin, the fourth on the site of Portsmouth. Pages 144-145 Captain SAMUEL HUSTON, Sr.., was born at Winchester, VA., on Sept. 2, 1801. His father WILLIAM HUSTON, was one of the pioneers of Portsmouth and moved to Wayne township in 1802. When the township was organized in 1809. he (WILLIAM) was one of the trustees. In 1823 he married ELIZABETH LEONARD, daughter of ADAM LEONARD" the couple had 14 children. Perhaps your WILLIAM HOUSTON/HUSTON may be related here somewhere? CARPE DIEM Lori : ) in Arizona ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
