General Notes: Husband - Col. William Houston

---

He served all through the Revolutionary war and remained in the army as an officer till his death. He and his wife moved to Virginia with the Kuhn family, but after his death his widow went to East Tennessee with her six sons and three daughters and settled there. Nothing more is recorded of the Houston family, except that the youngest of their six sons, Samuel (General Sam Houston) became prominent in the war between Texas and Mexico, which resulted in Texas becoming a republic and the election of Gen. Sam Houston as president. After the union of Texas with the United States he became United States Senator.

But other sources state that Gen. Sam Houston was the son of Samuel and Elizabeth (Paxton) Houston. Perhaps he was a grandson of Col. William Houston?
