Discussion

Most of these Houston marriages are believed to involve members of General Sam Houston Lineage. See:Register. Houstons in Old Augusta for a thumbnail outline of early members of this family. There appear to be two separate sources mixed into this data. Evidence for this is the fact that some of the marriages appear twice. For example, a "J A Houston" is shown as marrying a "Mary J Mcreynolds" on 16 Sep 1856, but on the same date there is a nearly identical entry for "J A Houston" marrying "M I Mcreynolds". Clearly these are duplicate entries, albeit with some degree of typographical error with regard to the name of the wife. Perhaps these differences come from different records: e.g., a ministers returns, and a list of marriage licenses. Since the original microfilm apparently does not identify the specific source of the information for each record, we are left largely to our own devices.
