Notes

*The name of John's spouse is given with considerable variation. WHile her last name is consistently given as "Jones" her given name appears in numerouos combinations of "Mary", "Sallie", "Martha", and "Elizabeth". This probably indicates a "blend", combining data for two (ore more) people. This interpretation is reinforced by the wide variation in DOM's for this couple: 1754, 1772, and 1793. One possibility is that there was a "John Houston" who married "Mary Jones" in 1772, while another "John Houston" married "Elizabeth Jones" on 11 July 1793. Marriage records for Washington County, VA give a marriage between a John Huston and Elizabeth Jones dated 11 July 1793, by the Reverend Cummings. (See Transcript:Houston marriages in Craig and Scott, 1994, as well as Source:Summers, 1929:1263]]). Some Ancestry Public Member Trees that give this data sometimes also assign the name "Elizabeth" to John's spouse, but often give and in some cases, rather than giving his parents as usual "Samuel Houston and Elizabeth McCroskey" instead identify them "John Houston and Mary Todd" . The latter couple is a known family identified in Source:Houston, 1882 (See:Person:John Houston (16), and would seem to be a different couple altogether.
