My line is thru thompson hatter and emma leona houston hatter I am trying to find Tranquilla's place of birth and her parents. I think she might be choctaw indian. they lived in the choctaw nation area now known as greene co. ala. william was born in green co. and they were married there. my grandmother told me when i was very young that i was part indian. i always thought it was on the houston side as sam houston is suppose to be our cousin. i haven't done much on the houstons but hope to soon. thanks mary l Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
