Descendants of Dr William Houston
First Generation
1. Dr William Houston [70]1 was born in 1710 in County Antrim, Northern Ireland 2 and died in 1792 in Sarecta,
Duplin Co., North Carolina 3 at age 82.
General Notes: About 1736, Dr. William HOUSTON arrived in New Hanover Co., NC from County
Antrim, Northern Ireland.
He came as trustee, land agent, and associate of his uncle, Henry McCULLOUGH (McCULLOCH ), Sr.
His Uncle Henry was a wealthy merchant from London, England who received a number of large land
grants directly from King George II. These grants may have been the largest colonization effort in the
Carolinas during the Colonial Period.
Per Charles Ingrahm, President of the Duplin County Historical Society (2006) - There were rumors in
colonial times that Dr. William Houston was the illegitimate son of King George II. I hope some of the
Houston Surname Males in our line take the DNA test to prove or quash this rumor.
Dr. William HOUSTON received a grant of eight sections making a total of one hundred thousand acres
of land.
He lived on a high bluff on the North East River, sixty miles north of Wilmington, NC on a farm. He
practiced his professions of physician, apothecary, and surgeon for over fifty years. He named his home
Sarecta, probably in honor of the site of the Temple of Apollo, an ancient Greek and Roman god of
medicine and healing.
He was a man of unusual ability and known to be an honorable man . He was active in all of the public
affairs in his community. Sarecta was one of the the first settlements in Duplin Co. and later was one of
the first established towns.
He was one of the first members of the Colonial Assembly of Duplin Co. and a Justice of the County
Court. In 1765, he was appointed Stamp Master for the Province of North Carolina. The Stamp Act was
extremely unpopular, and Dr. HOUSTON was subjected to considerable embarrassment. In various
places, he was hanged in effigy and burned. He claimed that he had not solicited the appointment and did
not even know of it until people were up in arms. Dr. HOUSTON quickly resigned his position and the
citizens of Duplin Co. gave him a large celebration. He was highly honored and respected by his fellow
citizens.
He was appointed Justice of the Peace in 1765, again in 1771, and in 1777, he was Chairman of the
"Court Marital" in Duplin County, whose duties were to hunt down Tories and deserters and bring them
to justice.
William Houston came to America with Henry McCulloch his uncle. William arrived in Georgia in 1733
according to Whyyte, Donald, A dictionary of Scottish Emigrants to the U.S.A. Page 60. William
Houston came from County Antrim, Northern Ireland. Henry McCulloch was a wealthy merchant from
London England. He recieved a large number of land grants directly from King George 11. Dr. William
Houston received a grant of eight section which make a total of one hundred thousand acres of land.
Dr. William Houston was a medical doctor according to the Document. William Houston and the
Houston family founded the town of Sarecta, NC. Sarecta is about 60 miles from Wilmington, it is on the
Northeast River. He name his town Sarecta, probably in honor of the site of the Temple of Apollo, an
ancient Greek and Roman god of medicine and healing.
According to the Colonial Record of Brunswick County in the year of 1766, an English sloop-of-wae the
"Diligence" is seen entering the harbor "The meteor flag of England flaunts proudly from her mast, and
her cannon loaded and ready, frowned upon the devoted towns. She sails gracefully into the harbor,
drops her anchor. Governor Tryon, Anxiously expecting her, announces her arrival by a proclamation
Descendants of Dr William Houston
dated 6th January 1766, and the reception of stamps and directs "all persons authorized to distribute
stamps to apply to the commander." But other eyes than Tryon`s were watching, Colonel Hugh Waddell
forthwith sent from Brunswick`s messenger to Ashe, announcing the arrival of the "Diligence" with
stamps; he immediately repairs to Brunswick. Now comes the tug of war. Will the arrogant Tryon`s with
his armed men, triumph, or will the daring Ashe. During this time William Houston had arrived in
Wilmington to collect his stamps, the towns people were angry and they wanted to prosecution him. He
flee to the resident of the Governor residence for protection. The whole town was wild with excitement
and was illuminated at night. The next morning Colonel Ashe, the head of the crowd of people went to
the house of the Governor and demanded the Stamp-master, which was William Houston had flee for
safety. The Governor refused to deliver him up, and forthwith preparations were made to suround and
burn the house in which was the Governor. Stamp-master and others. Terrified though a practiced solider
the Governor yields and Houston is delivered up. They do no act of bloodshed; but firmly conduct
Houston to the Market-house, where he makes a solemn pledge in writing "never to receive any stamped
paper which may arrive from England, nor officiate in any way in the distribution of stamps in the
Province of North Carolina."

Research Notes: In 1749 Duplin County was formed from the territory of New Hanover lying north of a
"Line beginning at the mouth of Rock Fish Creek, on the North-East River of Cape-Fear, running East to
Onslow County, and Westward, by a Straight line from the Mouth of the said Creek, to the Upper
Forks of Black River, where Cohecry and the Six Runs meet, thence up Cohecry to the Head thereof."
By this act, the same territory was erected into St. Gabriel Parish. John Sampson and Henry Hyrne were
directed to run the line. The justices of the peace were ordered to hold their first court at the house of
William McRee at Goshen, at which court they should select a site for the court house, prison, and
stocks. John Sampson, William McRee, Geo. Meares, Francis Brice, Wm. HOUSTON, Joseph Williams.
John Herring, Anthony Cox, Mark Phillips, John Turner, Thomas Suggs, and Charles Gavin were
appointed vestrymen of the parish. [North Carolina State Records, Vol XXIII, pp 342-343]
Extracts from the original 1749 act establishing Duplin County:
At a General Assembly, held at New Bern, the Seventeenth day of March, in the Year of Our Lord One
Thousand Seven Hundred and Forty Nine. Gabriel Johnston, Esq., Governor.
CHAPTER I.
An Act for Erecting the Upper Part of New-Hanover County into a County and Parish, by the Name of
Duplin County, and St. Gabriel Parish, and for appointing a Place for building a Court-house, Prison and
Stocks, in the said County.
CHAPTER VIII.
And be it further Enacted, by the Authority aforesaid, That Mr. John Sampson, Mr. William McRee,
Mr. George Meares, Mr. Francis Brice, Mr. William Houston, Mr. Joseph Williams, Mr. John Herring,
Mr. Anthony Cox, Mr. Mark Phillips, Mr. John Turner, Mr. Thomas Suggs, and Mr. Charles Gavin, be,
and are hereby appointed Vestrymen of St. Gabriel Parish aforesaid, until the General Election of
Vestrymen, according to law; and that the said Vestrymen shall be summoned by the Sheriff of the said
County of Duplin, to meet at the Place appointed by this Act where the Court is to be held, and qualify
themselves as a Vestry, and proceed to Parish Business. (Flashes of Duplin's History and Government,
pp 1-2)
William Houston also served along with other notables as a Justice in the Duplin Court of Pleas and
Descendants of Dr William Houston
Quarter Sessions. The court was held as directed, called the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sections, on the
18th day of October, 1784, the Justices present being William Houston, Sr., Col. James Kenan, Col.
Thomas Routledge. (Flashes of Duplin's History and Government, p 30) William Dickson in his 1810
history of Duplin County, NC, states: Soon after the County of Duplin was established and the
inhabitants became more numerous, most of the people and then the principal characters in the county
professed themselves to be members of the Episcopal Church of England, and readers were appointed to
read the morning service etc on every Sunday at different houses throughout the county and a tax laid by
the vestry to pay them. About the year 1760 or soon after; the Revd William Millar was invited by the
vestry to become the pastor of the church of St Gabriel's Parish in Duplin County, which he accepted,
and was accordingly inducted. . . . He soon became unpopular, charges of immorality, and practices in
life derogatory to the character of a preacher of the Gospel, were propagated against him which he cou'd
not or did not refute. . . . In 1763, Joseph Williams made complaint to the Council in behalf of the
inhabitants of St Gabriel's Parish, Duplin County, against Rev William Miller on account of "the
notorious immorality of his behavior." He was requested to appear before the Council in Wilmington in
Feb 1764, but did not appear. Mr Dickson goes on to say that his successor Rev Hobart Briggs, who
became minister at St Gabriel's in 1769, read all his sermons which he brought in manuscript from
England. He continued as pastor until the Revolution, when finding his annual salary was discontinued,
he disappeared without dismissal or formal leave taking. No Episcopal pastor came to Duplin county
between his departure and William Dickson's history in 1810. Dickson notes that those Episcopalians
who were disposed to be religious, joined either the Presbyterian, Baptist or Methodist churches.
From the comments of William Dickson and the State and Colonial Records for North Carolina. It would
appear that William Houston was a member of the Episcopalian Church when he first arrived in Duplin
County, since he was appointed a vestryman. As such he was probably one of the readers mentioned by
Dickson. After the departure of the last Episcopal pastor and the dissolution of St Gabriel's parish, it
would appear that William Houston and his family attended the Presbyterian Church. That would
account for his granddaughter Dorothy McGee's marriage to Thomas J Stanford, who was the son of
Presbyterian Pastor Samuel Stanford.
Previous to the Revolution, at the time when the Stamp Duty was attempted to be enforced by
Governor Tryon, (in North Carolina,) most of the Respectability of the County turned out volunteers,
Marched down to Wilmington with Capt. James Kenan, and joined Colo. John Ashe, to oppose the
Enforcement of the Stamp Duty. [William Dickson, History of Duplin County, Wilmington Star, 1810]
It is possible that William Dickson's memory of James Kenan and John Ashe being among the troops
who went to Wilmington to oppose the Stamp Act is in error. The State Records of North Carolina, Vol
XXII, p 330, records the following persons of interest among those who accompanied the Duplin militia:
John Dickson, Lt; Thos Kenan, James' father; Archd Houston, a brother (?) of William; Felix Kenan,
Thos' brother; Edwd Machet and John Machet, witnesses to Thomas Kenan's will; and George Miller,
the father of two of William Houston's daughters-in-law.
The Stamp Act received the royal assent in March, 1765, and was to become operative November 1. Dr.
William Houston of Duplin was appointed stamp master for North Carolina. On November 16, he was
constrained to resign by one of the several protesting assemblages of people from the Cape Fear section
which met in Wilmington in the fall of 1765. Early in 1766, the people of Onslow, Duplin, Bladen,
Brunswick, and New Hanover met at Wilmington and entered into an association to prevent the
operation of the Stamp Act. They seized Fort Johnston, compelled the release of two vessels seized and
detained by British men-of-war because their clearance papers were not duly stamped, took the
provincial officers from the residence of Governor Tryon and forced them to take an oath never to assist
in the execution of the Stamp Act, and thus annulled the Stamp Act in North Carolina. [S. A. Ashe,
History of North Carolina, I, 312-324; North Carolina Colonial Records, Vol VII, pp 125, 169-174.]
The following is a copy of the letter appointing William Houston Stamp Master:
Stamp-Office London, July 11th 1765.
Sir:
Descendants of Dr William Houston
I am ordered by the Commissioners, to acquaint you, the Lords Commissioners of his Majesty's
Treasury, have been pleased to appoint you to be Distributor of Stamps for North Carolina: you are
therefore on Receipt hereof to write to this Board to propose two responsible Persons in England to be
bound with you, in the Penalty of Two Thousand Pounds. As this Duty takes place on the first of
November next, and no Stamps can be sent you, until your Bond is executed, you are desired to be as
expeditious as possible.
I am your humble servant
JAMES BRETTELL, Secretary.

Government, pp 38-39)
A T Outlaw quotes in "Our Yesterdays", 31 Mar 1938, Duplin Times, Kenansville, NC, an article by J
O Carr, Esq, of Wilmington, NC, presented before the North Carolina Society of Colonial Dames about
1915:
"One hundred and fifty years have elapsed since the Houston episode, and it is not too early to begin to
do justice to the victim; nor will it detract from the heroism of the patriots of 1765, who were inspired
by a righteous indignation against every form of oppression.
"By careful, discriminating reading Of all the subject matter at our command, it will be easily seen that
the indignation of the people of 1765 was not directed against Houston, nor against any conduct of his,
but against the principle of the British stamp tax.
"In order to get a comprehensive view of Houston as a man it is necessary to consider him before 1765
and after 1765.
"William Houston did not live in Wilmington nor in Brunswick, but resided in Duplin County on the
Northeast River, about sixty miles north of Wilmington in a direct line. He was an associate of Henry
McCulloch in his attempt to colonize North Carolina, and was one of the original settlers who came to
this community some time between 1737 and 1748. This locality was then a part of the county of New
Hanover.
"Houston was a man of unusual ability and was known as an "honorable gentleman." By profession he
was a surgeon and apothecary. A tradition, too well founded in the community in which he lived to be
seriously disputed, at least forms the basis for a well-established belief that royal blood flowed in his
veins. The General Assembly of 1749 and 1750 established the county of Duplin and St. Gabriel's
[Episcopal] parish, and William Houston was named as a member of the vestry of that parish. From
1751 to 1761, inclusive, he was a member of the General Assembly from Duplin County, and following
that date was a justice of the peace, along with other leading citizens of his county; and in those days the
office of justice of the peace was a position of considerable importance.
"When he was appointed stamp agent for the port of Brunswick, he was residing on his farm in Duplin
County, on a high elevation on the Northeast River, at a place known as "Soracte" [now spelled Sarecta]
-- so called, no doubt, from the mountain by that name in Italy on which was built the ancient Temple of
Appollo (sic).
"On the 19th of October, 1765, after he had been appointed stamp agent and notice of such appointment
had reached Brunswick direct from England, Houston was hanged in effigy in the town of Wilmington,
the only reason given for such action being that the several hundred citizens who participated were
informed of his having several times expressed himself "much in favor of the stamp duty" -- and it is
possible that he honestly favored such a tax, but there is not evidence that he favored it without the
people's consent.
"Again, on the 31st of October, 1765, a large number of people met in Wilmington and placed an effigy
Descendants of Dr William Houston
in a coffin and moved under the beat of drums to the churchyard -- not doubt St Jame's Church -- where
the interment was to take place; but after feeling its pulse, decided that Liberty still survived, and not
burial took place. Also, Dr Houston was hanged in effigy at New Bern and at Fayetteville about the
same time.
"During all of these exhibitions of patriotism, Dr. Houston was pursuing his duties as surgeon and
apothecary at "Soracte", now known as "Sarecta," and he afterwards protested that he had not solicited
and did not even know of his appointment as stamp agent at the time of such demonstrations. It was not
until Saturday, the 16th day of November, nearly a month after his first hanging and demise, that Dr.
Houston came to town, where three hundred people, with drums beating and flags flying, proceeded to
his lodging place and inquired whether he intended to execute the office of stamp agent. Without
hesitation he informed them that he "should be sorry to execute any office disagreeable to the people of
the providence"; and as an exhibition of good faith voluntarily signed the famous promise, which was
done of his own free will and accord; and he was not even required to take an oath, as has been generally
believed. If this promise had been signed under force or duress, he would hardly have been given an
ovation; but after he had indicated his sentiments on the this matter there was a love feast and he was
put in an armchair and carried around the courthouse and around one of the chief squares of the city of
Wilmington and finally put down at his lodging place.
"A careful and discriminating reading of the entire story must convince the thinking man that instead of a
riot and a lynching in the city when Dr Houston came to town, there was something in the nature of a
banquet in his honor, on the discovery by the people that the sentiments of the man selected by the
Crown to sell stamps were in harmony with theirs; and no doubt Dr Houston enjoyed the eats and
drinks as much as any one, though the drought in those days around "Soracte" was doubtless not as
marked as it is today. [a reference to prohibition]
"The episode in Wilmington did not in any way affect the standing of Dr Houston in his own county,
where he was highly honored and respected by his fellow-citizens. In 1768, he was appointed a justice
of the peace in Duplin County, and likewise again in 1771. In 1777 he was chairman of the "Court
Martial" in Duplin County, whose duties were to hunt down Tories and deserters and to bring to justice
Americans who were not faithful to our cause; and together with James Kenan and Joseph Dickson, who
names were synonymous with patriotism in that community, he acted in this capacity, and as chairman
of the commission. He continued to serve his county for time thereafter. The time of his death can not be
stated with certainty, but it is thought that he was buried in the community in which he lived. His
descendants to this day have exhibited the same elements of brilliancy and patriotism seen in Dr
Houston."
Copy of Mr. Wm. Houston's Resignation of his Office of Stamp Distributor for the Province of North
Carolina.
I do hereby promise that I never will receive any stampt paper which may arrive from Europe in
consequence of any Act lately passed in the Parliament of Great Britain nor officiate in any means as
stamp Master or Distributor of the Stamps within the Province of North Carolina either directly or
indirectly and I do hereby notify all the Inhabitants of His Majesty's province of North Carolina
notwithstanding my having received information my being appointed to the said stamp office not to
apply hereafter for any stampt paper or to distribute the same until such time as it will be agreeable to
the Inhabitants of this Province: Hereby declaring that I do execute these presents of my own free Will
and Accord without any Equivocation or mental Reservation whatsoever.
In Witness hereof I have hereunto set my Hand this 16th Day of November 1765.
Wm. Houston.

FROM THE NORTH CAROLINA GAZETTE (WILMINGTON)
NOVEMBER 20, 1765.
Descendants of Dr William Houston
. . . On Saturday the 16th of this inst. William Houston Esq., Distributor of Stamps for this Province,
came to this town; upon which three or four Hundred People immediately gathered together, with drums
beating and Colours flying, & repaired to the House the said Stamp- Officer put up at, & insisted upon
knowing Whether he intended to execute his said Office, or not. He told them, "He should be very sorry
to execute any office disagreeable to the People of the Province." But they, not content with such a
Declaration, carried him into the Court House, where he signed a Resignation satisfactory to the Whole.
We hear from Newbern, that the Inhabitants of that Place, try'd, condemn'd, hang'd, and burn'd Doctor
William Houston, in effigy, during the Sitting of their Superior Court. Mr. Houston, however, thinks that
there was too much of the Star-Chamber Conduct made use of, in condemning him unheard; especially.
As he had never solicited the Office; nor had he then heard he was appointed Stamp-Officer. . . . At
Cross Creek, tis said, they hang'd his Effigy and M. Carter's together, (he who murder'd his Wife;) nor
have they spar'd him even in Duplin, the County where he lives. (Colonial Records, Vol. VII, Page 124.)
Dr. Houston's assertion that he was appointed Stamp Master without his knowledge seems by no means
improbable, when it is remembered, that Franklin, and other Provincial Agents in London, had at one
time so little hope of the repeal of the Stamp Act that they recommended their friends for positions
under it. (Colonial Records of North Carolina, Vol. VII, Pages IX & X.)

Letter from Governor Tryon, to the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury.
Brunswick 5th April 1766
I was honored with your Lordships Commands on the 25th of March last by the favor of Mr. Lownde's
letter of the 14th September 1765 requiring me to give my assistance to the Distributor of the Stamps in
the execution of his office. Some Stamps for this province arrived here from Virginia the 28th of
November last in the Diligence Sloop of War; but as Mr. Houston, Distributor of the Stamps, was
obliged publickly to resign his office in the Court House of Wilmington on the 16th of the same month, a
copy of which I enclose, I desired Capt. Phipps to keep the Stamps on board the Diligence. They were
lately removed into his Majesty's Sloop the Viper, Capt. Lobb, Commander, the Diligence having sailed
for England. My endeavors, my Lords, to promote the circulation of the Stamps in this province have
been accompanied with my warmest zeal, as I flatter my self the letter I wrote on that subject to Mr.
Conway one of his Majesty's principal Secretaries of State will testify. The ill success that has attended
this discharge of my duty, has given me real concern; since the riotous Assembly of men in Wilmington,
and Brunswick on the 19th 20th and 21st of February last, there has been no disturbances in this
province, the ports have never been shut and entries and clearances are made in the form that was
practiced before the Stamp Act was appointed by Parliament to take effect; I continue in my opinion
that these Southern provinces will regulate their further conduct, agreeable to the measures that are
adopted by the more formidable Colonies to the northward.
I am, My Lords, &c.

Letter from Dr. Houston (Stamp Agent) to Governor Tryon.
Soracte 21st April 1766
May it please your Excellency Sir:
Before this comes to hand you will be partly informed of the Transactions at Wilmington on Tuesday
the 15th inst. I make bold to acquaint you of a part which is to be depended upon,that the Sons of
Liberty never got into their hands. 'Tis a letter that Mr. Brettel Secretary to the Commissioners dated
from the Stamp Office Lincolns Inn London 13th of September 1765, which is in my Possession what
was took from me was the packet containing my Commission and my Deputation Instructions with a
Bond ready filled up to be executed before your Excellency. In Obedience to which I should have done
myself the honor to have waited on your Excellency and as affairs stand at present its impossible for me
to comply by the Information the Letter gives; Those Ships are not yet arrived on Board of which the
Stamps are for this Province under my care and when they arrive can I possibly take possession until the
Descendants of Dr William Houston
people are convinced when that is I am ready on notice. But for me who by the nature of my
Commission am hated, abhor'd detested. No friend to consult or assist, Even those that would or could
have not courage to do, is a great Hardship.
I beg and hope your Excellency will not expose this letter but after perusal commit it to the Flames.
Necessity which make me open my want of a Friendly advice I think Mr. John Moses De Rosset would
not refuse your excellency a Copy of a Bond, Instructions and Commission which is lodged in his hands
I most humbly desire your Excellencys Pardon for writing to you in this manner, my only hope is your
Excellencys Generous and Human Disposition for unfortunate Persons, of which I hardly know what I
do. Having Experienced the Mode of Base Persons in this Part of the World detaining of letters and even
destroying them make me send this by my son William who is going to Philadelphia with a small venture
of his Own.

Brunswick 17th June 1766
I am to acknowledge the favor of your letter giving me the intelligence of the repeal of the Stamp Act, as
also your letter delivered me by Lord Hope. It is with pleasure I congratulate you on the above event. I
trust the generosity and benevolence of his Majesty and his Parliament in their late conduct to the
British Colonies, will engrave such grateful impressions on the minds of the Americans, as neither
ambition, prejudice of education, or time will ever be able to efface. Their interest under their different
circumstances are certainly mutual, and reciprocal. I have received by way of New York dispatches from
the Secretary of State notifying the repeal of the Stamp Act, &c. I have inclosed the dispatches to the
Governors of the Southern provinces, to Mr. Barons a packet directed to Lord Charles Montagu makes
me imagine his Lordship may be arrived at his government.

A footnote to the History of Duplin County by William Dickson (1810) published in the North Carolina
Historical Review in 1928 indicates: Henry McCulloch, a merchant of London, in association with
Arthur Dobbs and others, received grants in 1735 for 60,000 acres on Black River (Duplin Co, NC) and
subsequently grants for more than a million acres in the back country of North Carolina, subject to
certain conditions as to settlement which were never carried out completely. The first settlement on the
McCulloch lands was made in 1736 in Duplin County. The earliest settlers of Duplin were Scotch Irish
and Swiss. In 1762, McCulloch claimed that he was entitled to 71,600 acres in Duplin County. The
McCulloch grants were the source of much dispute before the Revolution. Of these lands, 56,969 acres
were confiscated during the Revolution and sold by the State for 10,275 pounds 11 shillings and 10
pence. (North Carolina Colonial Records, Vol V, pp xxxii-xxxv, and Vol VI, p 773.
Apparently Dr William Houston was an land developer as well. He began selling lots for the town of
Sarecta on his land on the Northeast Cape Fear River. He had the General Assembly of North Carolina
adopt the law below to provide for much of the infrastructure required to establish and town and its
government. George Miller and John Machet who had been part of the militia opposed to William
Houston's appointment as Stamp Master together with William's son, Samuel, were appointed
commissioners to shepherd the layout and development of the town.
AN ACT TO ESTABLISH A TOWN ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE NORTHEAST OF CAPE FEAR

Descendants of Dr William Houston
White male between the age of 21 AND 60, 2 White males either below the age of 21 OR above the age
of 60, 2 White females, 2 Black slaves between the ages of 12 and 50, and 9 Black slaves either below the

From census records of Duplin Co., NC,:
1790 Edward Houston household has 1 male over 16, 4 males under 16, 1 female, 6 slaves - Edward
would have accounted for the Male over 16, His wife Mary the female - 4 sons under 16 Houston
household has 1 male over 16, 4 males under 16, 1 female, 6 slaves
A second 1790 census shows Edward Houston's household consists of 1 male over 16, 3 males under 16,
1 female, 6 slaves
1800 Census shows Edward Houston's household to consist of 2 males under 10, 1 male 10-15, 2 males
16-25, 1 male over 45, 2 females under 10, 1 female over 45 and 4 slaves. In conclusion Edward and
Mary at this point are over 45 and have 5 sons and 2 daughters still living with them.
1810 Census show's Edward Houston's household consisting of 3 males 16-25, 1 male over 45, 2 females
10-15, 1 female over 45 and 3 slaves
1820 Census with his household consisting of 2 males under 10 (James Lafayette 4 & Edward "Ned" 7),
1 male 26-45 (Edward E. age 32), male over 45 (Edward), 1 female under 10 (I do not have a record of
this child), 1 female 16-26 (This could be Winneford), 2 females between 26 & 45 (Possibly Rebecca and
Hannah). There is a mark for 1 person foreigners not naturalized. This could be a column error and
should have been for 1 female over 45 for Mary and 5 slaves. This appears to be a combined household
with Edward and Edward E.66
Edward married Mary Miller [64]4, 21, 22, 23 [MRIN: 17], daughter of George Miller [986] and Margaret
McCulloch [987], in 1771. Mary was born about 1750.21, 23, 67
Marriage Notes: This quite possibly was an arranged marriage, which was still common practice in this
time with prominent families. Dr. William Houston's uncle was Henry McCulloch. Margaret McCulloch
Miller (Mary miller's mother) was probably a sister or daughter to Henry. Mary Miller would have been a
3rd cousin to Edward. The only daughter of Dr. William Houston married Henry McCulloch probably a
son or grandson of his Uncle. Further research is necessary to prove this speculation.
Children from this marriage were:
32 M i. Stephen Houston [4620]68, 69, 70 was born about 1780 in Duplin Co., North Carolina.68, 69, 70
Research Notes: The 1810 Duplin Co., NC Census shows Stephen Houston to be between
26 and 44 yrs old and 2 females between 16-25 living with him. He also has 2 slaves.
Descendants of Dr William Houston
Stephen was found in the 1810 Census. I beleive him to be born before or after James. I did
not know of his existance. Edward's 1800 census shows 5 sons, 2 daughters. I only knew of 4
sons. I am guessing Stephen to be the 5th son - the 1810 census shows him living in a
seperate household between James and Edward.
1820 New Hanover Co., NC Census shows Steven between 26-45, 2 males under 10, 1
female under 10 and 1 female 26-45.
1830 Duplin Co., NC Census shows Stephen living back in Duplin Co. is 50-60, 2 males
under 5, 1 male 10-15, 1 female 5-10, 1 female 15-20, 1 female 30-40. It shows them as
neighbors of Harry 80-90 yrs and Henry Houston 40-50 yrs

Note Ezza was his nick name for his wife and daughter - both of them were named Isabella. This is how I
came up with the birth dates for Edward E. and James Houston. Edward E. was in Alabama when James
wrote this letter to "Ned".

Research Notes: 1820 Census Duplin Co., NC shows Edward Houston's household consiting of 2 males
under 10 (James Lafayette 4 & Edward "Ned" 7), 1 male 26-45 (Edward E. age 32), 1male over 45
(Edward), 1 female under 10 (I do not have a record of this child), 1 female 16-26 (This could be
Winneford), 2 females between 26 & 45 (Possibly Rebecca and Hannah. This appears to be a combined
household with his Edward and Edward E.
1830 Census shows Edward E. Houston household with 2 males under 5 (George Washington 2yrs &
John B newborn), 2 males 10-15 (James Lafayette 14), 2 15-20 (Edward Ned 17), 1 20-30 and 1 40-50
(Edward E. 42), 1 female 15-20 and 1 female 20-30 Sally may have had children by a previous marriage?)
I have no record of 1 male 10-15, 1 male 15-20, 1 male 20-30, the female with no record re-appears from
the 1820 Census female under 10 now shown 16-26.
By 1840 Edward E. has moved from Duplin County, NC to Barbour County, AL.
1840 Barbour Co., AL census shows Edward E. Houston's household to consist of 1 male under 5 (James
Thomas 1), 2 males 20-30 (Edward "Ned" 27 & James Lafayette 24), 1 female 5-10 (no record), 1 female
20-30 (Winford Wimberly - Edward "Ned"'s wife). I am guessing the younger sons and wife of Edward
E. were left in Duplin Co., NC and sent for at a later date.

dated November 6th, 1859
Alabama, Barbour Co., Nov 6th - 59
Dear Son,
I take this opportunity to inform you of events which have happened of late. Our health is good as
usual but we have all had a great deal of trouble in consequence of malice of our enemies and you will be
astonished to learn that some of them are our near neighbors, Harrall Reeves & David Bush are the cause
of our troubles. They provered a bill against myself Washington, John they had Stephen Hopkins (also
before the magistrate) for the murder of James Orr. They kept John in jail 6 months. The bill was filed
October 21\super st\nosupersub , 1859. Our Trial commenced on Monday the 31\super st\nosupersub of
October and continued until Thursday night 2 o'clock and we were acquitted - it cost us about 1500
dollars. Our intention now is to sell and leave the country. Our prosecution and trial has caused a great
excitement in the country but we have proved our innocence and made the malice of our enemies clearly
appear to their utter confusion and discomfiture. They hung a negro for shooting James Orr. This negro
was prompted to involve or implicate us in the crime, by stating in his confession that we were accessory
to murder and we believe that David Bush was his prompter - that the negro was incited by him while in
prison to impeach us through malicious design - they would have hung us or sent us to the penitentiary if
they could, but failing in that they have the gratification of breaking us up with the heavy expense of a
lawsuit and ruin our prospects for making a living. Our attorney fees was Eleven hundred dollars, the trial
being the firs court. They had five lawyers employed against us in behalf of the state, they were feed by
our prosecutors to the amount of 1000 dollars. Harrall Reeves paying 250 dollars for his part - We only
had two to defend us. We are determined to leave this country if we can conveniently do so. Although we
have so many enemies we have many friends who stood by us in the trying hour- They were mostly
people of wealth and high standing in society. We are all at home together once more and all out of law.
Our country appears to be infested with a considerable number of abolitionists. Tell James to cut off all
communication with his wife's connections here fro they have put his grayheaded father to shame by a
false charge of crime and imprisonment. They have also had Washington and Stephen both in jail.
Write soon nothing more at present only Remain your affectionate Father till death.
Edward Houston
Notes: James Lafayette Houston was married to Nancy Amanda Bush. This is the only reference to
Hopkins first name that I have seen- Stephen.

Edward married Hannah Player [49] [MRIN: 14], daughter of Thomas Player [532] and Rebecca
Williams [531], in 1805 in New Hanover or Duplin Co., NC. Hannah was born in 1783, died in 1816-1826 in
Duplin Co., North Carolina 78 at age 33, and was buried in Duplin Co., North Carolina.
Marriage Notes: Hannah Player was unknown - found at Rootsweb.com ID 1537854653 who was
shown to have married an unknown Houston. Part of the Bannerman family. A letter from Samuel
Player in Hanover Co, NC to Edward "Ned" Houston, in Bienville Parish, LA, dated 8/7/1853, showed
the Players, Bannermans and Houstons to be related. In the research notes of Billy Williamson, Sr. he
had come to the conclusion that Edward's wife might be a Bannerman. I believe he drew this conclusion
from the letter transcribed below. We now know the condolences were for the loss of Edward "Ned"'s
1st wife Winiford Wimberly given the date.

Yours Affectionately
Sam T. Player
I believe that Sam T. Player was the son of one of Hannah Player's brothers. I have been unable to
establish proof at this time.
There are other clues to her identity. If you will notice the name of James Lafayette's first daughter -
Hannah - named after his mother. Also notice one of Edward "Ned"'s sons named Edward Player - after
his father and mother.

The following biographical sketch was prepared by A T Outlaw to accompany a portrait of
William J Houston, which was hung in the Duplin County Courthouse 1 Sep 1913. It was
copied from "Flashes of Duplin's History", Faison Wells McGowen and Pearl Canady
McGowen, editors, 1971:
Captain William James Houston, son of Elizabeth Anne (Wilkinson) and Samuel Houston,
was born near Kenansville in the year 1828. After completing his education he read law, was
admitted to the bar, and commenced the practice of his profession in his home town about
1850. At April term, 1853, of the County Court, he was elected Solicitor of that Court for a
term of four years. At the July term, 1854, of this Court he resigned his pl ace as Solicitor
having been elected a member of the State House of Commons. He was a member of the
State Senate in 1856 and 1858. During the first of the year 1859, as shown by Superior
Court Minutes, he appeared and qualified as State Solicitor of the Second Judicial District
and in that capacity he served his State for a period of about two years, or until the
beginning of the Civil War. He entered the service of the Confederacy and served as Captain
of Company "I" of the Ninth Regiment of North Carolina Cavalry. While bravely serving in
that capacity, he was killed in battle near Ashby's Gap near Upperville in Virginia, on June
21, 1863. At the fall term 1863, of Duplin Superior Court, a lengthy resolution of regret
concerning his death and setting out in full his good and noble qualities and virtues, was
passed and ordered spread upon the Minutes of the Court.
The biography of William Anderson Allen prepared for the same purpose indicated that he
formed a law partnership with William James Houston.
Allen was the first Company Commander of Co C, 51st NC Inf and was succeeded by
Samuel McGee Stanford, a cousin of Houston, when Allen was appointed Lt Col, 51st NC
Inf. Allen resigned on 5 Jan 1863, "because of . . . Imputation[s] against my character" and
also because of "rheumatism." Lt C ol Allen was being court-martialed at the time for "com
[ing] into the camp of his Regt at Rockfish Church intoxicated" on the night of 30 Dec 1862;
for using "the most abusive and insulting language to Major Hector McKethan" on the same
occassion; and for challenging Major McKethan "to fight him with pistols." His resignation
was accepted on 19 Jan 1863; the same day Maj McKethan was appointed Col,
Commanding 51st NC Inf. ("North Carolina Troops 1861-1865, A Roster", Vol XII;
Weymouth T Jordan, Jr, Compiler; NC Office of Archives and History; Raleigh, NC, 2004)

General Notes: Thomas Jefferson Stanford as many of his family was involved in public service and
interested in education. In January 1839 the [North Carolina] General Assembly passed its first
statewide public school law. Under this law those counties voting for schools in August of that year were
to levy a tax of $20 for each school district, to be supplemented by twice this amount from the State
Literary Fund-the first state and local appropriation for public schools in the history of North Carolina.
(Flashes of Duplin's History and Government, p 115)
A commission was established to layout school districts for Duplin County. The commission designated
30 school districts and appointed three committeemen to oversee and represent each school district.
Thomas Stanford was selected as one of the committeemen for the 30th school district. His brother A T
Stanford was appointed committeeman for the 16th school district. The commission submitted its
nominees to the Justices of the Duplin Court of Pleas and Quartersessions in April 1841. Thomas
Stanford was one of the justices that reviewed the list of appointees. (Duplin County Court Minutes
1840 -1843, on file with State Department of Archives and History.)
The Court met in April, 1841, with the following named members present, to wit: Benjamin F. Grady,
Chairman, Cornelius McMillan, Nicholas Hall, Thomas Stanford and Jesse Swinson. A majority of the
Justices being present, it was ordered that a Board of Superintendents of Schools be appointed consisting
of the following named persons, to wit: John E. Hussey, Archibald Maxwell, David Sloan, Atlas J.
Grady, Joseph T. Rhodes, Benjamin Lanier, Daniel Jones, Cornelius McMillan and James G. Stokes.
Capt. David Sloan was made Chairman of the board and gave bond in the sum of $2500, with Owen R.
Kenan and Halstead Bourden as bondsmen. The first school tax was levied in January, 1841, at the rate of
five cents on the one hundred dollars valuation of property and ten cents on the poll. (Court Minutes;
from Flashes of Duplin's History and Government, pp 117-11 8)

Edward E. and James Lafayette are still in Alabama. The 1870 Census has every one except Martha living
at home out of Jane's children. There is one surprise - it shows a little girl by the name of Lucy age 6 - the
same age as George. there is no record in the Family Bible of her birth - I believe this was an error in the
census or possibly a cousin rather than a sibling. The only other explanation would be that they called
Martha "Lucy" who would have been 16 at the time rather than 6.

RHS Notes:
Captain Thomas C. Standifer recruited a company volunteers self styled the Arcadia
Invincibles from communities in Bienville Parish, Louisiana in July 1861. Arcadia was, and
still is, the parish seat. These volunteers traveled down the Red and Mississippi Rivers to
New Orleans, and then north by rail to Camp Moore in Tangipahoa Parish near the
Mississippi state line arriving July 24th according to Ezekiel's letter. Thomas C. Standifer
was officially commissioned Captain in the state militia on July 29, 1861. The company was
transferred from state volunteer service into Confederate service on August 13, 1861 at
Camp Moore to be part of the 12th Regiment Louisiana Volunteers (12th Louisiana
Infantry). The regimental organization was completed on August 18th with the addition of
three more companies bringing the total number to ten. Thomas M. Scott of Claiborne Parish
was elected Colonel of the regiment.
The regiment was ordered north to Lieutenant General Leonidas Polk's Confederate
Department No. 2 defending the upper reaches of the Mississippi River. They began
departing Camp Moore by company on August 24th traveling by rail to Union City,
Tennessee with the last of the regiment arriving on August 28th.
Union City is in Obion County, Tennessee. The Mobile & Ohio Railroad passed through the
town connecting Columbus, Kentucky with Mobile, Alabama. Columbus was 20 miles
north of Union City and a railhead and major port on the Mississippi River.
Camp Brown was described by one member of the regiment as "a beautiful camping ground
situated on a ridge covered with large poplars." Another member wrote home that "This is a
very rich country here. We could get milk, butter, eggs, chickens and plentifully, and in the
vegetable line anything we called for, and that very cheap."
Several new Confederate regiments arrived at Union City about the same time. Not all were
armed, or properly equipped. The 11th and 12th Louisiana Infantry regiments arrived from
Camp Moore fully armed and equipped, and these two regiments, accompanied by the 22nd
Tennessee Infantry regiment, were sent to occupy Columbus, Kentucky on September 3,
1861. Kentucky had declared itself neutral and this occupation of Columbus by Confederate
forces violated that neutrality creating a political firestorm. In fact, General Polk had simply
beaten Federal Brigadier General Ulysses S. Grant to the punch. Grant reacted by occupying
Paducah, Kentucky on September 6, 1861. The Tennessee River empties into the Ohio River
at Paducah. The stage was set for the eventual Federal capture of Fort Donelson on the
Cumberland River and Fort Henry on the Tennessee from the Confederates in early February
1862.
The Confederates remained at Columbus, Kentucky for approximately six months
entrenching and fortifying the bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River. When Grant
captured Forts Donelson and Henry, Columbus became vulnerable to attack overland from
the rear, and the Confederates abandoned the site on February 28, 1862.
Measles was a plague visited upon the new Confederate recruits at Camp Moore and it
accompanied them to Union City and Columbus. Several new recruits never made it beyond
Camp Moore. Measles often led to pneumonia, and many more died at Union City and
Columbus during the brutal winter to which they were not accustomed. The company
muster rolls covering November 1861 through April 1862 were lost or destroyed. Nearly 180
men who were enrolled at Camp Moore in August 1861 were not with the regiment when it
re-enrolled to serve for three years, or the duration of the war, at Camp Green near Fort
Pillow, Tennessee on May 10, 1862. The fate of these men is still being researched.
My notes extracted from the Compiled Military Service Records for the 12th Louisiana
Infantry regiment show the following service highlights for the men named by Ezekiel in his
letter home:
Jasper J. Holland - Enrolled in Confederate service at Camp Moore on August 13, 1861
and present for duty on October 31, 1861. He is among the 180+ missing men for whom I
have not yet found any further record.
Benjamin Fillingham - Enrolled in Confederate service at Camp Moore on August 13,
1861. Recovered from the measles and was present, or accounted for, with Company B until
Descendants of Dr William Houston
the end of the war. He was paroled under the Johnston/Sherman surrender agreement dated
April 26, 1865 at Greensboro, North Carolina.
"Jay" - I can't identify this man. This can't be a nickname for brother James T. Houston
because Ezekiel seems to be referring to him as being there at Camp Brown.
James T. Houston - Enrolled in Confederate service at Camp Moore on August 13, 1861.
He was present, or accounted for, with Company B until the end of the war. He was paroled
under the Johnston/Sherman surrender agreement dated April 26, 1865 at Greensboro, North
Carolina.
John E. Gloer - Enrolled in Confederate service at Camp Moore on August 13, 1861 and
present for duty with Company B until April 20, 1863 when he was sent sick to a
Confederate military hospital at Montgomery, Alabama. He died there of chronic diarrhea on
May 17, 1863.
John T. Mask - Enrolled in Confederate service at Camp Moore on August 13, 1861. On
October 31, 1861 he was noted to be absent on account of illness. He is among the 180+
missing men for whom I have not yet found any further record.
John T. Tyler - Enrolled in Confederate service at Camp Moore on August 13, 1861.
Discharged at Columbus, Kentucky on February 22, 1862 due to chronic illness.
"Jimtam" - This could be a nickname for James T. Houston.
Thomas C. Standifer - Elected Captain of the Arcadia Invincibles and commissioned by
Governor Thomas C. Moore in the Louisiana State Militia on July 29, 1861, he was
transferred into Confederate service as Captain of the company at Camp Moore. Captain
Standifer was re-elected company commander on May 10, 1862 when the regiment reorganized
to serve for three years, or the duration of the war, at Camp Green near Fort
Pillow, Tennessee. He was promoted to Major of the regiment in January 1863 and to
Lieutenant Colonel of the regiment on May 10, 1864. Colonel Standifer was sent home to
Louisiana in August 1864 under orders from the Secretary of War to round up the substantial
number of absentees from the regiment who were at home and forward them to the regiment
in Georgia. Although still absent in Louisiana at the end of the war, he was recognized as
Colonel of the 12th Louisiana Infantry regiment in the final re-organization dated April 9,
1865 at Smithfield, North Carolina.
12th Regiment Louisiana Volunteers
The 12th Regiment Louisiana Volunteers was formed at Camp Moore, Louisiana from ten
companies of volunteers from the northern Louisiana parishes of Bienville, Caldwell,
Claiborne, DeSoto, Jackson, Natchitoches, Sabine, Union, and Winn to serve as an infantry
regiment. These volunteers were enrolled for twelve months Confederate service on August
13, 1861 (3 companies enrolled late on August 18\super th\nosupersub ) at Camp Moore and
were sent north by rail to Union City, Tennessee. On September 3, 1861, they marched into
Columbus, Kentucky to begin a six month long Confederate occupation of that strategic site
overlooking the Mississippi River. Evacuated briefly to Island No. 10 on March 1, 1862, the
regiment was sent to reinforce the garrison at Fort Pillow, Tennessee. At Fort Pillow, the
regiment was re-organized and re-enrolled to serve for three years, or the duration of the war,
under the terms of the Confederate Conscription Act passed in April 1862. Two additional
companies were added and the 12\super th\nosupersub Louisiana Infantry regiment
contained 12 companies for the balance of the war. Withdrawn from Fort Pillow in early
June 1862, the regiment marched the length and breadth of the State of Mississippi ranging
from LaGrange, Tennessee to Baton Rouge and Port Hudson in Louisiana. The regiment's
first combat casualties occurred during the Battle of Corinth in the fall of 1862. After a brief
return to Port Hudson in the spring of 1863, the regiment fought in the Battle of Baker's
Creek (Champion Hill) and the Siege of Jackson in Mississippi. They remained in central
Mississippi until early 1864 when they were withdrawn into Alabama. In May 1864, they
were rushed north to join the Confederate Army of Tennessee and were engaged in the
defense of Atlanta from Resaca to Peachtree Creek to the final evacuation of the City of
Atlanta on the night of September 1, 1864. The regiment then marched north to Tennessee
and fought in the Battles of Franklin and Nashville at the end of 1864. In early 1865, the
regiment traveled by rail, steamboat, and on foot from northern Mississippi to North
Descendants of Dr William Houston
Carolina where they fought in the last battles of the war at Kinston and Bentonville. Still a
viable, stand-alone fighting unit, the regiment was surrendered on April 26, 1865 at
Greensboro, North Carolina. Nearly 300 men were accounted for as present with their
company, away on army details, or absent in North Carolina hospitals in the final surrender
muster rolls. Total enrollment from the beginning to the end of the war was 1,730 men.
Colonels of the regiment were Thomas M. Scott (1861-1864), Noel L. Nelson (1864), and
Thomas C. Standifer (1865).

Note by Transcriber:
He wrote this letter to Emily Louise "Eliza Jane" Hilbun Houston, his sister. After the death of her
husband Edward "Ned" Houston in 1883, Jane went to live with her son George Lafayette Houston.
This letter has great significance in the genealogical records of our family. We have so little information
on Jane's parents. The back of the original photo of Jane has written simply the word "Cherokee". If she
and her siblings were of mixed blood, "half breed" it wasn't something to brag about in those days. I have
found records on her father and other half brothers and sisters by their Father's first marriage. I have
found nothing on their Mother. Some genealogies of her family show the first wife as Nancy Bruce and a
second wife as Nancy? Marriage to "Indians" in those days were not legally recognized. Many of the
Descendants of Dr William Houston
Indian women taken in marriage by a White man were baptized and given Christian names. It may be
impossible to trace her Mother. I remember as a child my Father telling me we had a Cherokee bloodline,
but he couldn't tell me how. It was just an accepted fact in the family. I was happy to find the notation
on the picture, but sad to know I may not be able to trace it.
Jane named Stephen Frederick after her Father Frederick Hilbun. She also had an older half brother
named Stephen.
I have not been able to find exactly when Jane left Alabama and arrived in Louisiana or who she lived
with. I have found that some of her half brothers had migrated to Louisiana by 1850. She may have come
to live with one of her siblings.

Dear Brother,
I embrace the present opportunity to address you a few lines to inform you that we are all well. Yours
of the 28th, inst was received on the first of the present month, it was very afflicting to us to hear of
your bereavement and distrefs but hope you will be supported by the consolation of a Christian and that
from that source you will receive fortitude in your troubles. I am glad to hear of your rail road and hope
it will be a benefit to you when completed. The crops in this country are tolerably good. Cotton is from
8 & 1/8 to 8 & ¼ cts per lb. Pork is worth from 7 to 8 cts per lb. About the last of November we had the
greatest flood that has ever been here since Noah's if we judge by the destruction produced by it. Nearly
all the mills and bridges were wrecked and swept away and a great deal of corn and cotton destroyed on
the rivers. A great number of people have been married here Riz Ryan married Mifs Mun. Stokes
Williamson married Mifs Elizabeth Wise. There has been the greatest revival of religion in this country
that I have ever known. On the 19\super th\nosupersub of September 7 were baptized and in that
number was included Father & Mother and Washington and William. I was glad to hear of the revival in
that country and that David Wimberly has joined the church, was sorry to hear of his daughter Amanda
being sick and I give my best respects to him and family and all the old acquaintance & to James and his
family, am sorry that James cannot enjoy good health. Godwin has an account against him for 1 dol 25
cts for wool if he recollects anything about it Father will settle it. Moses Bush came here and never said
anything about when he was going to start back. Had we known when he was going we would have sent
the money. He was here about three days before he started and promised to let us know when he was
going but skipped off and let us know nothing about it. If Ezekiel Wimberly cannot find a girl good
enough for him in Louisiana and will come to old Barbour. I will divide with him. I think a man has a
right to be choice for I find it a hard matter to get a wife but a woman could be easily obtained. I have
been looking at a good many girls but have not made it out yet though I have one in view. There are some
good ones here and one is as much as I want. I wrote to you in September and have not heard whether or
Descendants of Dr William Houston
not you received the letter. Would be glad that you would write as soon as you get this. Tell James to
write. I would be glad to hear from them as soon as possible. I have nothing more of much importance to
write. We are all doing tolerably well in this country. I have been to school about five months and have
progressed as far as compound interest. We have opportunity to go this year. I reckon the worst of us
will go some part of the time. A man named Smithwick came here said he was from that comity
professed to teach the Arithmetic in 40 days he failed to get a school. Tell James Father will send the
money the first safe opportunity. We have had very little cold weather yet but it is now very cold.
People are moving to dale & Henry a good deal. We enjoyed ourselves very well on Christmas but there
were few parties about here. All fiddling and playing are done away in this country and religion and its
obligations are observed. We are many miles distant but the ties of nature and consanguinty are not the
less strong nor the less felt on that account our affections are as fresh and as strong as though you were
present and we sympathise with you and your misfortune but hope that you when you have filled your
destiny on earth will meet the departed one in a better world where parting will be no more. Nothing
more but remain your affectionate Brother till Death.

his name and there is an additional P.S. not included in this transcript. Also in writing at the bottom
"answered the last time July 11, 1853". Probably a note from Ned to remind himself as to when he

stimulate you to be good and if they were bad people it ought to make you good.
I have regretted very much of late years that I know so little of the history of my family, but having
moved from the old homestead to a new country when I was quite small, my chances of gathering family
history were small.
My Great Grand Father Stanford was a Presbyterian Preacher and left his native country, the High
Lands of Scotland , and came to America so me time before the Revolution and settled in Mecklinburg
County, N.C. and I have been told that he used both Bible and Musket in the war . He was evidently
among the first preachers of his sort in N.C. and a man of some note. My Grandfather was also a
Presbyterian Preacher , was a man of fine constitution and of considerable property, was a great friend
of the poor and the young people and therefore very popular, and to help him along he was fortunate in
marrying a woman in every way worthy of a noble husband. It was said of her that she was of
commanding form, red headed and high tempered, that she could ride with the best of them in a fox chase
, could lead in a ball room, and was not the least one in helping her husband along with his flock. They
moved from Mecklinburg to Duplin County in their young days , where my grandfather purchased a
large tract of land and engaged in farming. Six children were born to them, three boys and three girls, of
the girls I know but little save that one of them came to a strange end, she married a gentlemen (sic)
living in Tampa, Fla. and some few years after their marriage she with one child took passage on a boat
for Willingmington (sic), N.C. and that was the last ever heard of her. It was supposed that the vessel
went down in the Gulf or Atlantic. The other two married and lived to be over 80 years of age. Of the
boys I know more, Samual (sic), Alex and Thomas. Samual (sic) married and moved to Mississippi and
settled on a farm below Vicksburg where he was reasonably successful in the planting business and
raised a considerable family of children. Alex married and spent his days (91 years) on the old
homestead. Thos. Jefferson Stanford, my father was the third son, a man of fine presence, a little over
six feet high, straig ht as an arrow, deep blue eyes, dark brown hair inclined to curl, well educated and a
great talker , fond of books and perhaps would have made his mark as a professional man, but he
married young and having inherited a large tract of land, turned his attention farming, but the land being
poor and he with more love for books than crops a failure was the result , never like most men, laying all
the blame on the land when I the fourth child and son was about 7 years old sold out and came to Ala. to
engage in cotton growing, he bought a large tract of land on Choctaw Creek in Henry County and began
to open up a large farm, but died in the prime of manhood at 46 years old. I spent a good many years of
my boyhood there, sometimes going a short time to a piney woods school, but for the greater part of my
time was spent following the hounds. One of my brothers was my guardian. He was a lovable, easy
going good fellow and let me do as I pleased for a long time, and although after a while I went to a good
school and received a fair education, many of those old habits and inclinations have stuck to me all
through life. I had energy enough left to go to North Carolina and graduate in law and was doing a fair
practice when the war broke out when like most of the hot headed youth of the South I volunteered in
the first Company raised in my County and went i mmediately to the front. Capt. Keenan (sic), a
cousin of mine, got up the Company, the "Duplin Rifles". I was made 2nd Sargent. We got to Richman
(sic) Virginia the first of May 61 and were put in the 2nd N.C. Re g. I served there six months then got
up 25 men and was put in the 51st N .C. Reg. I served in that capacity a few months and was made
Capt. and commanded the Company until the latter part of September 64 when I had a long spell of
fever, and being unfit for service I resigned and came home where with good care I got able by the first of
February 65 to do duty again, my company having been killed and captured and naturally seeing the end
was close at hand I joined the 5th Fla. Battalion of Cavalry stationed in West Florida where I had a sort
of a military frolic until the 25 th of May 65 when we all came home.
Of my Great Grandfather McGee I know but little, only that report said he came to this country a
Priest, but having inherited a large fortune, he married and lived such a life as most of the wealthy of that
day lived . My Grandfather (Mother's Father) the only son, strange to say was a rather quiet man,
owned a large farm, loved fine horses and dogs, kept open-house, yet knew how to make a dollar make
another dollar, so he had a goodly sum to leave to his four children, the youngest of whom was my
mother. His wife, my grandmother, I knew but little of. I saw her once and had the misfortune of calling
Descendants of Dr William Houston
her "Old White Head", for which I got a sound spanking so I would hardly be a proper person to write
her "biography".
(Sam's grandmother McGee was actually his mother Dorothy's stepmother, Nancy Ann James,
Dorothy's mother, Nancy Ann Houston, having died in 1823 fifteen years before Sam's birth. See the
estate of Thomas McGee for the law suits arising from the dispute between the stepmother and
children.)

C.L. Stanford
National Archives Military Service Records indicate Samuel M Stanford was mustered into Company C,
51st NC Infantry on 8 Apr 1862 at Wilmington, NC, with the rank of 1st Lieutenant. He was enrolled
for servi ce on 11 Feb 1862, by Jno L Cantrell at Kenansville, NC. Company C was also known as
Capt William A Allen's Co, and the Duplin Stars.
He was born in Duplin Co, NC. He was 23 years old and gave his occupation as Lawyer. He was 5' 7
1/2" high.
He signed as: Samuel M Stanford.
Samuel was promoted to Capt on 30 April 1862. The State of North Carolina still owed him for his
first 8 days of service (8 to 15 Apr 1862) accor ding to muster and pay records dated 1 Jul 1862.
Samuel signed all muster rolls for Co C, 51st NC Inf from 1 Jul 1862 until his resignation in Sep 1864 as

tonsillitis on 3 May 1862, but returned to duty. In June 1862 he was reported as sick in Wilmington,
NC. In June of 1862, Samuel was reported sick in Wilmington, NC. On 9 Aug 1862, H M Kither (sp?)
C o[l] Cmdg, "Approved and forwarded with the request that it be accepted [Samuel's resignation]. This
officer is totally inefficient as a Company Commander --- in the interest of his Company and the good
of the service will be materially promoted by accepting his resignation." Apparently this resignation
was not accepted. [Note: TQ Stanford, Sam's brother, in a letter dated 22 Jul 1863 indicates that a
resignation or leave of absence was difficult to obtain. "the orders for men or officers getting leave of
absence is now allmo[s]t out of the Question. No one can leave unless it is recommended by the
Surgeon of the Brigade as being beneficial for his health &c neither can an office[r] resign unless he is
unfit for duty by reason of disability."]
Samuel was absent from the company between Apr to Jun 1863 while serving as an attorney on a Court
Martial in Wilmington, NC. He was present with the company from Jul 1863 to Aug 1863. He was
sick on furlough during the month of Oct 1863. Samuel was reported, apparently by himsel f, as
"Absent without leave from the 14th to the 27th Dec 1863 sick in Alabama & failed to report according
to Gen Order No 141."
Samuel's duty stations included: Camp Davis, May 1862; Wilmington, NC, Jun 1862; Kinston, Sep
1862; Camp Campbell, Oct 1862; Camp Whiting, Nov & Dec 1862; St Andrews Parish, Feb 1863 --

Samuel was leading Company C, 51st NC Infantry between 11 Jul 1863 and 25 Sep 1863 when it
participated in the defense of Charleston, SC. The company was at Fort Wagner on Morris Island on
the evening of 18 Jul 1863 when it was attacked by Federal troops spear-headed by the 54th
Massachusetts Infantry, a regiment of Black soldiers under Lt Col Robert Gould Shaw. The 54th MA
took severe casualties including the death of its commander, ultimately the Federal troops were beaten
back or captured. The bravery of the Black troops was the subject of a book, "One Gallant Rush:
Descendants of Dr William Houston
Robert Gould Shaw and his Brave Black Regiment" (1965), and the Academy Award winning movie,
"Glory" (1989).
On 6 Aug 1864 Samuel was reported as being sick at the hospital in Petersb urg, VA, from 12 Jul 1864.
On 4 Aug 1864, Samuel was admitted to General Hospital No 4, Richmond, VA, with chronic diarrhea.
The Richmond Medical Director furloughed him to Eufaula on 20 Aug 1864 for 30 days to recover.
Samuel again submitted his resignation on 8 Sep 1864. It was accepted and ordered to take effect on 19
Sep 1864 with Edward L Watson succeeding him to command of the company by paragraph 1, Special
Order 222 ABGO [ ?] dated 19 Sep 1864.

Research Notes: ARTICLE PUBLISHED IN THE ARIZONA DAILY STAR
DECEMBER 31, 1947
Each week, A. R. Buehman, pioneer Tucson photographer, will present in new pictures,
some outstanding Tucsonan. These views will be on display at the Buehman Studio on East
Broadway. As planned, this series will cover all spheres of local activity among Tucson
leaders and will become a weekly feature in The Arizona Daily Star.
An ardent sports-fan Clarence E. Houston, Tucson attorney, is serving as president of the
board of regents of the state university and colleges, having been named to that post last
January. He was appointed to the board in May, 1941, to fill a vacancy created by the
resignation of Evo de Concini. The native Louisianan, who began life on a farm near
Winfield, is an active member of Towncats, and says he "wouldn't miss the Rose Bowl game
for anything in the world."
Born June 28, 1891, Clarence Houston attended school at Louisiana College in Pineville and
Louisiana Polytechnic Institute in Ruston. His father, Will Houston, was a farmer who later
went to work for the railroad as foreman of a steel gang.
Sports in School
Houston began his interest in sports during his school years, playing baseball, basketball and
football at both of the institutions he attended in Louisiana.
But circumstances forced him to quit school and go to work for the Shreveport Drug
Company in Shreveport, where he studied pharmacy, his knowledge of which later enabled
him to set up a drugstore of his own.
When World War I came along, Houston was working in Shreveport. He joined the army and
went overseas with the 39\super th\nosupersub division, from Camp Beauregard, La.,
serving seven months in France with the 148\super th\nosupersub machine gun battalion.
On his return in 1919, he opened a drugstore in Shreveport. Weakened by the flu which he
contracted while overseas, and for which he was hospitalized in the Napoleon barracks in
Brest, France, he fell ill and was sent to the government hospital at Fort Baynard, New
Mexico in August of 1921.
Meets Future Wife
There he met his future wife Margery Niles, who was a dietitian at the hospital. During
the last two years of his stay there he served as pharmacist for the institution.
Descendants of Dr William Houston
In 1924 Houston came to Tuscon and entered the University of Arizona law school,
graduating in 1928 with his LL.B. as well as his B.A. and M.A. in education.
While still an undergraduate at the university, he was named county law librarian by then
judge of the superior court, Gerald Jones.
After his graduation Houston was named by Claude Smith, county attorney, to fill the
new1y created second deputyship in that office. The following year, 1930, William G. Hall,
county attorney, picked Houston as his chief deputy.
With those years in the county attorney's office behind him. Hous ran for the post in 1933
and was elected. Subsequently he was defeated for the post in 1934. A try at the attorney
general's office in 1936 was also unsuccessful.
Named to Regents
Governor Osborn appointed Houston to the board of regents in 1941, and he has since
served three years as treasurer of the board, as well as the year as president which will
expire in January, 1948.
During his legal career here, Houston has headed the Pima County Bar Association.
Active in veterans' organization, he is a member and former adjutant of the Morgan
McDermott post of the American Legion, a member of the Veterans of For Wars and a
member of the Disabled American Veterans.
Houston is also a Mason, a Shriner, a member of the Kiwanis Club and a life member of the
Order of the Eastern Star. He is active in the Baptist church.
All the children of Will and Rebecca Houston have since come to Tucson. One of Clarence
Houston's sisters, Mrs. Georgia Jenkins, is teaching at Amphitheater and Mrs. Annie
Bradford, is a beauty shop operator here. His brother John Houston, operates a
shoe shop.

Mrs G L [George Lafayette] Houston
Dear Sister,
I received your ever welcome letter some time back and was glad to hear that you were all
enjoying good health.
I am very sorry and candidly ashamed of not writing earlier, but I hope you will pardon me.
Pa'S case was tried and the Juror hung & never did agree eight for conviction & four for
acquittal. Afterwards the District Attorney (R M Milling) nollivased [nullified] the case. It is now
settled and you may realize how glad we are for we were expecting trouble out of it before it ended.
Lillian, I am so sorry that I could not come after you this Summer, but it was just out of the
question for me to come. We have had better protracted meeting this Summer than we have had in a
long time.
There was fourteen additions to old Mars Hill [church] 10 for baptism 4 by letter and the church
was brought nearer together than it has been for years.
Religion is reviving down here. Annie attended the meeting at Mars Hill from Saturday untill
Wednesday. Baptising was on Friday at 10 O"Clock. Oh! I would have given anything if you
could have been here. There is a little sicness among the connections none however very severe.
Crops are sorry & if it does not quit raining so much they will be sorrier.
Adas sister is visiting her. I think she will stay until Chrismas.
Will close hoping to hear from a sister soon.
I am as ever your Devoted Sister

CONFEDERATE LOUISIANA TROOPS
28th Regiment, Louisiana Infantry (Gray's)
28th Infantry Regiment was organized during the spring of 1862 at Camp Bisland, Louisiana. The men
were recruited in the parishes of Bienville, Winn, Ouachita, Jackson, Claiborne, and Calcasieu. For a
time it served in the Department of Mississippi and East Louisian, and in the fight at Chickasaw
Bayou it lost 9 killed, 25 wounded, and 9 missing. Later the unit was assigned to Mouton's and H.
Gray's Brigade, Trans-Mississippi Department. It was involved in the operations against Banks' Red
River Campaign and in numerous conflicts in Louisiana. In July, 1862, it contained 25 officers and 278
men, but few were present during the spring of 1865 when the unit disbanded. The field officers were
Colonels Henry Gray and Thomas W. Pool, and Lieutenant Colonel William Walker.

General Notes: Family history (from Marjorie Stephens Culpepper) has it that the Houston's opposed the
marriage of Elizabeth Houston to George W. Stephens. George had followed the Houstons from Barbour
Co., AL to north Louisiana. After she married him, her family was cool to Elizabeth's and George's
children while they treated the other grandchildren
better.
During the depression, son George Otis and family moved in with G.W. Stephens and Elizabeth. G.W.
also had some houses in Minden in which other family members moved into. The Allen's, who had a dry
cleaning business, moved into one of the homes. Thereafter, G.W. always got his suits
cleaned for free anytime he wanted.

General Notes: Reminiscence by Bob Epperson: In her later years Aunt Nan would come to
California to visit her sister Ellen Walker about once a year. One of her favorite pastimes
was playing Canasta with Ellen's grandchildren. She used an automatic card shuffler, which
she named "Old Pete", because her arthritis would not allow her to shuffle cards with her
hands. Aunt Nan did not like to be on the losing side of anything. If she got in a tight spot
in a game of Canasta, she would institute what the grandchildren referred to as an "Aunt
Nan" rule. It would apply only to her benefit in the particular situation in which she found
herself. For instance, if she had only two cards left and one of them played on the table, she
wou ld play it down and declare that she did not have to discard a card because she had only
one card left and could not go out. If the same rule worked to Aunt Nan's disadvantage, Aunt
Nan would declare it inapplicable under the particular circumstances.

Youngblood. He knew his birthday was an Easter Sunday, but didn't know the correct date
until he retired and the Social Security Service sorted out his name and birthdate. He went
by the name "John" since that was what he had been called by Youngblood. In 2003, his
son Thomas E Williford found two post cards both addressed to Leonard Youngblood. One
of them was signed Ed W and probably was sent by Ed Williford the father of E L "John"
Williford. The other was addressed to "Dear Uncle Len" and signed Mae Williford and sent
from Tushka or Pawhuska, OK. It could be that Len Youngblood was "John's" uncle and he
had a sister Mae.
According to a cousin, Lina Marcile Walker Epperson, "John" was at least part Indian. A
postcard from what used to be Indian Territory in Oklahoma may confirm this.

H C Stanford Answers Call, Prominent Pioneer Resident of Kissimmee Claimed by Death after Long
Illness.
Henry Clay Stanford, pioneer citizen of Kissimmee, who passed away early this morning at his residence
on Vernon Street, has been one of Kissimmee's best know citizens for the past forty years. He was born
in Lawrenceville, Alabama, June 1, 1857, of Scotch-Irish parentage. His father who served in the
Confederate Army was killing during the Civil War. Mr. Stanford came to Kissimmee in the month of
January, 1886, and has been prominently identified with the civic and fraternal life of the city since that
time. He has served on the city council as mayor and as representative of O ceola County in the Florida
Legislature. He was the first president of the State Board of Trade and also has been president of the
Kissimmee Chamber of Commerce. He is a member of the Methodist Church of the city and of the
Knights of Pythias, Orange Blossom Lodge No. 80, Royal Arch Chapter No. 10, Commander and Shrine.
Mr Stanford was one of the organizers of the Stanford-Carson-Graves Hardware Company which later
became the Osecola Hardware Company, of which he has been president for the past six years. For
many years he conducted the Stanford Dry Goods Company and for a time was engage in the real estate
and insurance business, in addition to being one of Osceola county['s] citrus growers.
Mr Stanford has always been recognized as a booster for all progressive movements, one of his chief
hobbies being good roads. His consistent fight for good roads in the State Legislature and in this county
was largely responsible for his being made president of the State Board of Trade. He continued his
activities in all public matters until his last illness.
Mr Stanford is survived by his widow, Mattie F Stanford, and two daughters, Miss Mattie E Stanford of
Kissimmee and Mrs Margaret Stanford Burdick of Hollywood, Calif, all of whom were with him at the
time of his death. A brother J Quincy Stanford, lives at Ocoee, Fla, and a sister Mrs D L Halladay, who
resides in Decatur, Georgia.
Funeral services will be held for the family only at the residence tomorrow at ten o'clock, after which
regular services will be conducted by the Masonic Lodge at Rose Hill Cemetery.
As a mark of the respect and high esteem in which he is held, the mayor of the city has requested that all
places of business in the city close from 10 am until 11 o'clock am tomorrow.
This notice is attached at the bottom of the article:
TO THE PEOPLE OF KISSIMMEE As most of you already know, Mr H C Stanford, who has lived in
Kissimmee, and has taken active parti in Kissimmee life and the development of this city and county of
Osceola in general, for the past thirty odd years, has been called by his Maker.

General Notes: According to the "History of Stewart County", Vol I, pp 79-80:
N W Halliday served as Stewart County Surveyor from 26 Feb 1891 to 15 Jan 1896.
Glenda Halliday wrote in a letter to Flo Young on 23 Oct 2000:
Nicholas Wylie [Halliday] was a farmer. He farmed in Stewart County, GA, and moved from there to
the Tifton area after Pee Wee [George M N Halliday] was killed. I don't know how long they lived
there, but Daddy went to college at Abraham Baldwin [Agricultural College, Tifton, Tift Co, GA], so I
assume they lived in the area around 10 years. When they left Tifton, they moved to Orlando, Florida,
where they owned a citrus grove and farm. Lake Underhill (see below) was on the property. About
1928, Uncle Nick brought them to Decatur, GA. [Probably as a result of the agricultural depression of
1923-1927, which followed the decline in food prices which had been highly inflated due to World War
I. It was this decline in world food prices which eventually precipitated the Great Depression of the
early 1930s.] Granddaddy sold the groves and retired. He was about 72 or 73. I have his death
certificate somewhere and will send you a copy along with some pictures of the Allen Halliday home in
Wilkes Co, GA. Fay and Pee Wee were buried in Tifton in the old section of Oak Ridge Cemetery in the
city of Tifton, Tift County, GA, Block 1 Lot 3 on the map or plat of said cemetery located in the office
of the city clerk. Lot being 39 by 39 feet. That is the description on the deed that we sold in 1970 to
Mildred Hudson Mulkey of Tifton. Excepted are the 2 grave s ites in the northwesterly corner marked
Halliday. Mrs Mulkey agreed to care for the grave sites as she tended her. All the heirs signed the
Warranty Deed; Thomas Dickerson, Nicholas Wylie, Jr, Sammie, Emmie, Nick, and Henry Clay, Jr. If
you would like, Nick can send you the information he used to join SAR [Sons of the American
Revolution]. Let us know if you need it.

NOTE: In 2005, Lake Underhill a lake of about 147 surface acres was located in an upscale area of
Orlando, Orange Co, FL, east of Orlando Executive Airport. Construction of Interstate 408, a loop
around Orlando, in 1974 resulted in pollution of the lake. Currently the lake is part of a water
management district for restoration. David Mizzell received the original land grant including Lake
Underhill on 1 Aug 1860. Mizell was killed in the line of duty in 1870, while serving as Sheriff of
Orange County. He is buried with several of the Mizzell family near Lake Underhill.

age 79.
General Notes: Florence Young's notes report: Florence once asked Mr. William, as he was
known, what the "I" stood for in his name. Ichabud, he said, she thought it very funny until
she realized he was serious. He said, "It's ICHABUD not Ichabod Crane (of the headless
horseman of Sleepy Hollow fame)! It's an old family name, Mr. William was named for one
of his Dad's brother s. They called him "Bud". Flo says, "Needless to say, I've never
laughed at anyone's name since."
W I Arnold served as a County Commissioner for the 777th Georgia Militia District,
Nochaway, Randolph Co, GA, from 3 May 1935 until January, 1953. He was a County
Commissioner when they formed the Hospital Authority of Randolph Co after the 1946 fire
that destroyed Patterson Hospital. When the Sumter County Rural Electrification
Authority (REA) installed electricity to the northern part of Randolph Co, W I Arnold was
elected to serve on the Board of Directors. He served as director on this board for many
years. Upon his retirement, his son James was elected to his position on the board.
In the fall of 1967, Mr William had caught a opossum and was going to fatten him for
Christmas dinner, he loved opossum. He kept the opossum under a wash tub for awhile,
would lift the tub up and feed the animal, the opossum bit Mr William on the right leg, right
above his high top shoe, right through his pants and sock. After that he put the opossum in
a pen. He did eat the opossum Christmas. Mr William's leg got infected and we thought for
a while he might lose his leg. He was taken to the doctor for a weekly visit, but the doctor
kept working with it. His leg was m uch better, but still sore when he died on 24 Aug 1968.
Obituary of W I Arnold:

"In Memorial" from the minutes of the Brooksville Baptist Church, Brooksville, [Randolph
Co, GA].
God in his infinite wisdom has truly chosen another beautiful one from our midst, Brother
William I Arnold, who passed away on August 24, 1968.
Brother William was born October 31, 1888, here in Randolph County, where he lived all his
life. He was the son of the late Brother Isaac V Arnold and the late Sister Minnie Chambless
Arnold.
Descendants of Dr William Houston
On April 21, 1912, he was married to Emmie Halliday. They were blessed with four sons:
George, Halliday, James and Stanford. Halliday and Stanford preceded in death. Stanford
passed in the year 1945 and Halliday passed in the year 1966. Brother Arnold is survived
by his wife, Mrs Emmie Halliday Arnold, two sons -- George Arnold, Atlanta, [Fulton Co],
GA. and James Arnold, Benevolence [Randolph Co], GA, four grand children and two
brothers.
Early in life he united with the Brooksville Baptist Church, a faithful member. During his
years of membership, he lived his belief that one is to be a servant to others in order to
render service to the Almighty. His life among us was a living testimony to his unselfish
love and devotion to God and to his work. He served his Lord through the church, serving
as a Deacon, teaching Sunday School Class for forty years, led in the singing and other
capacities. He was a pillar of strength to his church. In the past few years, because of
failing health, he had retired from farming, but his vital interest in the church never wavered
even though his attendance was of a necessity limited.
We shall continue to find Brother William's foot prints in his home, in the church and in his
community. His going has left us - that a great influence for good has gone out from his
community.
Therefore be it resolved: That though we mourn the passing of one we loved so dearly, we
are grateful to God for the Christian life he lived in our community: That we extend to his
family our deepest sympathy in the loss of their loved one: That a copy of this memorial be
placed on our church records and that a copy be sent to each member of his family.

Death of Geo Halliday Nov 18, 1911 (Tifton, GA) Young Man Accidentally Shoots Himself
While Hunting
One of the saddest accidents that has ever occurred in this community was the death of
Master George Halliday last Saturday. He with one or two other boys was out hunting, and
in getting over a log when in some unaccountable way the gun discharged, the whole load of
shot entering his body, making a fearful wound. It was about a mile from home where the
accident occurred, and he lived but a short time after he was carried home. He was a bright,
intelligent boy whom everyone loved who knew him; the idol of his parents and also of his
schoolmates. The sympathy of the whole community goes out in _____ condolence to the
bereaved family. Other testimony of his moral life and loveable character will be found in
this paper.
