Overview
From Source:White, 1902 quoting papers of Rev. Samuel Rutherford Houston:
"John Houston, my grandfather, came from Ireland with his family when my father was about nine years old, about 1735, bringing with him his mother and wife, who was a Miss Cunningham, and all of his children, excepting the oldest son, James, who died soon after the family left him. [2]

- ↑ Source:Houston, 1882:18 gives this a bit differently: A seventh [child], James Houston, was left in Ireland having qualified himself in the gospel ministry.
