Houston, as a member of Congress, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, Governor of Alabama, later U.S. Senator, she spent much time in our state and national capitals. She thus occupied prominent places in the social life of those great centers, becoming meanwhile an ardent and apt student of political history, state and national."

237	Notes for Russell Houston Attorney, Judge, chief counsel of the Louisville & Nashville RR (L&N) for over 25 years, later President of the same company. Also, later Judge, Supreme Court of TN Russell Houston from Lawyers and Lawmakers of Kentucky, pp. 190-191: Home More RUSSELL HOUSTON, one of the eminent law practitioners of Kentucky, was born in Williamson county, Tennessee, January 20, 1810, and died in Louisville October 1, 1895, The family of which he was a representative removed from South Carolina to Tennessee in 1795. Russell Houston was educated in Georgetown College, Kentucky, studied law under the direction of James Clark, in Nashville, Tennessee, and entered on the practice in 1835, at Columbia, Tennessee. He took an active part in the Indian war in Florida, and after returning therefrom in 1847, settled in Nashville, where he was associated in the active practice with Colonel Cahal, Judge A. O. P. Nicholson, Judge Nathaniel Baxter and Neil S. Brown, all distinguished members of that bar. He was without political ambition and filled but one office, that of representative in the Tennessee legislature in 1851-2 Mr. Houston took an active interest in the developments of his native state and in the building of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad, was one of the first directors of the company in Tennessee and was thenceforth continuously connected with the corporation. In 1864 be removed to Louisville and filled the office of vice-president of the road until the death of Hon. James Guthrie, when he became president. In the establishment of the law department as a separate branch of the railroad service he was tendered and accepted the position of chief counsel, which he held until his death. Mr. Houston was singularly vigorous in mind and body, was a dose observer of men and possessed a retentive memory and a genial temperament. He was a Unionist throughout the war and a stanch friend of Andrew Johnson in the administration of the affairs of his native state in the re-adjustment during the war. By the appointment of Mr. Johnson while governor of Tennessee, Mr. Houston filled a place on the bench of the supreme court d that state for a time, helping to bring order out of chaos. He refused to accept any salary for the time he served, his labors being freely given for the good of the commonwealth He held a commanding position at the bar and had the respect and confidence of the people. from Memorial History of Louisville, pp. 356-358: Home RUSSELL HOUSTON, eminent as a member of the Kentucky bar for more than twenty-five years, and for twenty-five years before that one of the leading members of the bar of Tennessee, was born in Williamson County, Tennessee January 20, 1810 and died in Louisville, full of years and honors October 1, 1895. His father, David Houston-who was a son of John Houston of South Carolina as a planter, and married Hannah Reagan, of that State, in 1795. Shortly after his marriage he moved to Tennessee, where he resided until the subject of this sketch was eight years of age at which time having purchased a large tract of land in Alabama, he moved his family, and settled in that State. As soon as they were settled in their new home, a teacher was engaged and his sons were there prepared for college. Russell Houston first attended college at Georgetown, Kentucky, but subsequently entered the University of Nashville, from which he graduated. He studied law with Mr. James Clark, a lawyer of high standing at the Nashville bar, and began the practice of his profession in 1835 at Columbia, Tennessee. Among his first friends and clients in his new home was ex-President James K. Polk, whose friendship and kindness to him on the threshold of his professional career was a recollection that he ever delighted to recall. The Florida Indian War breaking out shortly after he commenced the practice of his profession, he was one of the first volunteers from his State, enlisting in Colonel Cahal's regiment Colonel Cahal was so impressed by young Houston's character and mind during the months passed together in Florida that at the close of the war he tendered him a partnership, which was accepted. In 1844 he married Grizelda Polk, daughter of Dr. William J. Polk, who was a brother of Bishop Leonidas Polk, and in 1847 he moved to Nashville, where his reputation had preceded him. He soon took high rank at the bar, which at the time numbered among its members some of the ablest lawyers of the country. Besides Colonel Cahal, he had associated with him as partner in his practice in Tennessee Judge A. O. P. Nicholson, of Columbia, Governor Neil S. Brown and Judge Nathaniel Baxter, of Nashville, all of whom were lawyers of distinguished abilities. Judge Houston was wholly without political ambition and never offered for office but once. He took great interest in the development of his State, and to promote its development by assisting in securing liberal legislation, he was induced to offer for the Legislature, to which he was elected, serving in the sessions of 1851 and 1852. When the Louisville & Nashville Railroad was projected, he look an active interest in it, and contributed much toward achieving its successful consummation, taking a leading part in obtaining such legislation in Tennessee as was necessary to enable the Kentucky corporation to extend the line of its road into Nashville. He was one of the first directors of the company in the State of Tennessee, and was continuously connected with the corporation in different capacities from that time to the day of his death. In 1864 Judge Houston moved to the city of Louisville, and at the earnest solicitation of the Hon. James Guthrie--who was president of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad?accepted the vice-presidency of the company, which he held until Mr. Guthrie's death, whom he succeeded as president, filling out the former's term. Soon after this, the law department of the company was established, and Judge Houston was tendered and accepted the position of chief counsel, which he held continuously to the day of his death. In politics, Judge Houston affiliated with the Whig party as long as that party was in existence, and after the war with the Democratic party. When the dominant political issue became union or disunion he took a firm stand for the Union, a strong love and pride of country being one of his striking characteristics. His commanding position at the bar and his high character as a man gave him weight and influence with the military authorities in Nashville, which he exerted in behalf of his Southern friends, saving many from hardships and trials they would otherwise have been subjected to. When the Supreme Court of Tennessee was reorganized under the administration of Governor Andrew Johnson, he appointed Mr. Houston to a position on that bench, which the latter accepted at the urgent request of the governor consenting to serve only long enough to get the judicial machinery into satisfactory operation. When he had accomplished this he resigned the office and refused to accept any salary for his services. Johnson had the highest opinion of his ability as a lawyer and jurist, and after the former became President, he again manifested his high appreciation of Judge Houston by declaring it to be his purpose to tender him a position in the Supreme Court of the United States, should a vacancy on that bench occur during his administration. Vigorous physically and mentally far beyond the age at which most men succumb to the weight of years, he was a strikingly interesting man during the latter years of his life. Acute in his observations, rich in experiences and reminiscences, he was singularly attractive to the younger men of his profession, who entertained for him almost a filial regard. The esteem in which he was held by his fellow citizens was evidenced at the time of his death by the feeling tributes of respect paid his memory by the entire press of the city, and in an eloquent memorial by the bar. Judge Houston left surviving him a family consisting of Mrs. Houston and their four children, Mr. Allen P. Houston and Mrs. Lytle Buchanan of Louisville, Mrs. George H. Hull of New York, and Mrs. Joseph L. Ferrell of Philadelphia.	Houston, Russell (I1047)
238	Notes from Sheridan C. Randolph in May, 2000....... All the information except William Henry Robertson and his descendants came to me from a source that appeared to have access to a Bible record. The later deaths and marriages may not have come from that record. I do believe that this is a complete record of John Wilson's children. According to the family he (JWR) had feet so large that the CSA could not provide him shoes for a uniform and instead put him in charge of a salt (saltpeter?) mine during the War. I think he was living with his oldest daughter in Brundidge when he died. Aunt Mary Lee Robinson told me that because he had five daughters before he had a son, that they nearly starved to death since there was no one to help JWR on the farm. She was given to some drama in this regard, but I am sure that it was a struggle to support the family.[Rob12.FTW]	Robertson, John Wilson (I1742)
239	Notes: Sorry, I have had problems solving my password to be able to post on the forum. Finally got it solved. Yes, I do believe John Y. Huston was the father of Andrew J. Huston. I believe his wife was Elizabeth "Betsy" Maddox. Have found out that Thomas Trammell and wife Mary had grandchildren in Marion Co. AL was Andrew Houston, son of Elizabeth Houston, formerly Elizabeth Maddux, deceased, of Marion County AL. This was found in the Probate Minutes of Chambers Co. AL, 1850-51 page 392. Inabmorris@aol.com	Maddox, Elizabeth Betsy (I4608)
240	Occupation: nurse	Dunlop, Patti D'Lane (I5987)
241	Occupation: Farmer Lawrence and Alta lived in Williamson Co., TX their entire married lives until 1996, when they moved into Parkwood Healthcare Center in Bedford, TX. They drove from Williamson Co., TX to Bishop, TX in order to be married by their former pastor, Bro. Ramey. Allthough the marriage ceremony was conducted in Bishop, their marriage license is on file in Williamson Co. Lawrence served as a Deacon in the Andice Baptist Church for 60 years. He and Alta were married for 70 years.	Dunlop, Lawrence Inman (I5972)
242	Old Newspaper article with picture of PFC. HOUSTON states.... "Pfc. Lawrence H. Houston, USMC, son of Mrs. W. O. Houston, Maplesville, was reported killed in action on Iwo Jima, Feb. 24. Surviving, in addition to his mother, are two brothers, W. R. Houston, Ensley, and J. H. Houston, Georgia." My notes: Since my tree has the names Hardy and Hayward, both apparently middle names, I do not know if PFC. Lawrence H. Houston is "Hardy" or "Hayward". Also I do not know which year in WW II did his Feb 24 death date occur.	Houston, Lawrence Hardy (I0147)

245	One finds several spellings of our ancestors named Hughston such as: Hughston, Houstoun, Houstown, Hewston, Huston, Hueston, Huson, Heuston, Houston Pronunciation: HUGH-ston and HOUSE-ton. It seems the HOUSE-ton pronunciation was most frequently connected to English nobility or very affluent British families. Houston information from home page of Mark Freeman................ 668.

Was her father's name David Ross of Ireland? Children of John Houston and Mary Ross are: i. Margaret Houston, born Aft. 1752 in Ireland; married James McCracken. Notes for James McCracken: One James McCracken is listed in the DAR records: James McCracken (1750-1802) served as private in Colonel Polk's regiment, General Sumter's brigade, North Carolina Line. He died in Mecklenburg County, N. C. His wife is not named; his son James McCracken, Jr. married Elizabeth Davidson James Jr.'s daughter Margaret McCracken married Azariah Alexander. ii.

Notes for John Houston, Jr.: served as Private in SC Troops during Revolutionary War served over 31 mos on nine tours 1776-1782 served under Gen. Sumter, taken prisoner, injured According to one account, he was the first-born and never married. "By right of primogeniture, he was entitled to an estate valued at $50,000; but it was never obtained, in consequence of neglect or unskillful management. The family records were in his possession when they left Ireland. Where he made his home is not now (1877) known." Biographical Skectches, Etc. of the Houston Family, p. 287. by Rutherford 1882. Note that in that account, John Houston was the first-born; by information collected from more recent sources and not verified, he was born after the emigration and is the only child with a specific birth date recorded. It is possible that this John Houston is mis-placed here. John Houston, Jr. was born April 10, 1760 in Ireland, according to his pension records. The names of his parents were not mentioned in the records, but descendants state they were John and Mary Ross Houston.

It is known that in 1836 she received $80.00 per annum pension. About 1801 he moved to Jasper County, Georgia, and by 1827 he is found in the tax records of Fayette County, Georgia. In 1833, he is living in Coweta County, Georgia where by sworn statement he made application on November 15 for his pension.

Frederick Co., VA. She was the daughter of 1342. [Uncertain] [Which] Pugh. Notes for Reason Reagan: It seems extremely likely to the compiler of this file that Rezen Ragan / Reason Reagan is descended from Timothy Ragan / Mary Lary who are also in this file, who have at least three other Reason / Rezen / Rezin grandsons. However, most of the possible candidates have been studied, and they are shown with spouses other than the known spouse of my ancestor. Thomas Reagan married Hannah, the widow of a Mr. Reagan - and this now is my best bet for the right ancestor, the deceased first husband of Hannah Pugh. Notes for Hannah Pugh: Hannah Pugh's family likely moved to Ohio from South Carolina. Originally Welsh. Evidence and proximity lead me to believe she is of the family of Azariah Pugh, and she is likely his niece or cousin once removed. WFT 14 indicates that Azariah Pugh, Sr.'s daughter Hannah Pugh married James Coppock. Their first child together was when she was 29 years old. She may have married Reason Reagan first, and he may have died young. Another theory is that a different Hannah Pugh was the first wife of Reason Reagan that married Connell, and that she died young. It is also possible that Reason Reagan died early after the marriage, after the birth of the first child, and that she remarried to Thomas Reagan in Newberry Co., SC. His marriage record indiates that he married Mrs. Hannah Reagan. Child of Reason Reagan and Hannah Pugh is: 335 i. Hannah Pugh Reagan, born Abt. 1776 in SC; died 01 Dec 1847 in Lauderdale Co., AL; married David Ross Houston Bef. 1796 in Newberry Dist., SC. Ancient Houston History.... Descendants of Scotland & Ulster, Houston, Huston, Hewston, Heuston, Houstoun, and others are septs of the Scottish Clan Donald , sometimes called Clan McDonald. Regardless of the spelling, families with the name are descended from the same medieval ancestry. Beginnings of the Huston/Houston Clan During the reign of Malcom IV, a man named Hugh removed from the County of Paduinan and took over the lands near present-day Paisley in Renfrewshire. The year was 1160, and official records concerning the man listed his place of origin as a means of identification: Anglicized as Hugo de Paduinan . He built a fortification for himself there, and those Scots who kept their primitive homes nearby began to seek the protection of his castle during the raids of neighboring lairds -- a somewhat frequent occurance. References to the origin of Houston generally ascribe it to Hugh's + tun, which was the word of the time that described an enclosure or place of safety. In feudal times, a parcel of land on which a fortified structure or castle was located was known as a barony. The laird -- sometimes called Lord by the peasants within the barony -- did not carry a title of nobility as might be implied by the term baronet. Tradition says he married the daughter of a Scottish chieftain, although no record exists. According to historian Amelia Williams, quoted in the book Bold Legacy by Cleburne Huston (Texian Press 1968), Hugh led fifty of his men in the rescue of King Malcom, and bore him to safety, for which he was bestowed the rank of Scottish knight and the estate in Renfrewshire. Public records indicate the land was transferred from Baldwin of Biggar, viscount of Lanarkshire, to Hugh, and later came to be called the parish of Houston. The earliest recorded documentation of Hugh is circa 1160, as a witness to the signature of Walter Fitz-Allan, holder of the lands of Strathgryffe in the valley of Clyde. There is also literature that indicates that Hugh of Paduinan was the son of Baldwin, viscount of Lanarkshire. William Hamilton wrote in Sherifdoms of Lanark and Renfrew (compiled circa 1710, printed Glasgow 1831, page 100) of the Houstons: "This family is come from Baldwin de Bigeris." Baldwin's landholdings included the parish of Kilpeter, which was later deeded to Hugh.
