I have several Benjamin Franklin Houston's in my family line. It would probably not be impossible that when the Houston line married into the Pennington line (my gg grandmother) that a Pennington was named this. But then again, it is a famous name. If anyone thinks this could be the case, I can share my family line that I have. Peggy Pound Group 8 ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
