During his life time, David researched the history of several Decatur and Henderson County families. His research provides important basic research on the history of families that now live or have lived in these two counties. Like all research, it is not perfect and is known to contain both errors and omissions. By policy, David's original research will not be updated to correct these errors but will be maintained in the state left by David. However, we are happy to publish the family research of any families connected with Decatur or Henderson County. We will also publish comments as notes to David's research. Please email me your comments and/or family research that you would like posted to this web site to Jerry L. Butler at jlb30504@gmail.com.

  1. John Gray[1] Houston. Born, circa 1780, in NC. Died, before 1830.

    He married, first, Martha Wilson, 23 Oct 1802, in Lincoln Co., NC. Born, after 1776. Died, circa 1804, in Lincoln Co., NC. Children:

    1. William Wilson[2] Houston. Born, circa 1804, in NC. He married, first, Mary Emmaline (Molly) Watlington, 1837, in Henderson Co., TN?. He married, second, Margaret (Peggy) Walker, before 1850, in Henderson Co., TN?.

    He married, second, Jane D. Patton, 28 Oct 1805, in Lincoln Co., NC. Born, circa 1785, in NC. Died, after 1850, in Henderson Co., TN. Census: 1830, in Henderson Co., TN. Census: 1850, in Henderson Co., TN. The family of Jane D. Houston is very difficult to interpret. The family first appears in the 1830 census of Henderson County where Jane Houston is head of a household. Her household is recorded between the households of James B. Houston and Joseph Bradford. Census data: Jane Houston 001001-0112011; James B. Houston, 00001-10001; Joseph Bradford, 100001-00001. Jane Houston is again head of a household in the 1840 census in Henderson County. Census data: 0-010100001. Jane D. Houston again appears as head of a household in the 1850 census. Her age is listed as 50 but she must be older because she was recorded as 40-50 in 1830 and 60-70 in 1840. In her household are Emeline Houston (28), Eliza Houston (9) and Jane Houston (8). (In 1860 they are Emeline Houston, Jane Bradford, and Eliza Bradford.) In the interest of tying this family together, Emeline is coded in this database as daughter of Jane Houston. She might well he a daughter-in-law or some other relationship. Emeline is head of this household at the time of the 1860 census. Children:

    1. Martin P. Houston. Born, circa 1806, in NC. Died, circa 1845, in Madison Co., TN. He married Eliza Drucilla Garnett. Wilson P. Houston has many descendants in Madison County, Tennessee and in Texas.
    2. James B. Houston. Born, circa 1808. Census: 1830, in Henderson Co., TN.
    3. Emeline Houston.

  2. Emeline[2] Houston (John Gray, 1). Born, circa 1822, in NC. Died, after 1870. Census: 1860, in Lexington, Henderson Co., TN. Census: 1870, in 14th District, Henderson Co., TN. Occupation: Seamstress. Emeline Houston (38) is head of the a household in the 1860 census of Henderson County. The household includes Jane Bradford (18), Eliza Bradford (18), Rufus Jowers (5) Areny Jowers (male) (4), C. O. Bradford (male) (1), B. F. Bradford (male) (1/12), and M. E. Jowers (female) (1/12). It is difficult to determine relationships in this household. In order for a descendant printout to work, Eliza Bradford, Jane Bradford, and the Jowers children in Emeline's household are coded here as Emeline's natural children. The Jowers children appear in Emeline's household again in 1870 with the last name Houston. Emeline could be natural mother or grandmother of the Bradfords.

    She married an unknown man. Children:

    1. Eliza [Bradford][3] Houston. Born, circa 1841. Census: 1860, in Henderson Co., TN.
    2. Jane [Bradford] Houston.
    3. Rufus G. [Jowers] Houston.
    4. Areny/Churchwell [Jowers] Houston.
    5. M. E./Sarah E. [Jowers] Houston.
  3. Jane [Bradford][3] Houston. Born, circa 1842. Census: 1860, in Henderson Co., TN. Census: 1870, in Henderson Co., TN. She appears as Jane Houston (8) in the 1850 census and as Jane Bradford (18) in the 1860 census. In the 1870 census she is living as Jane Houston in the household of James J. Moore in Henderson Co. This household includes James J. Moore (20), Martha Moore (28), Jane Houston (26), Claudis Houston (10), Safrona F. Houston (5), Mary Houston (4), Reubin Houston (4/12), Johnny Houston (8), and Mary E. Houston (5). For convenience, all of these children are coded as natural children of Jane. It is probably that some are nieces and nephews, especially if Martha Moore is Jane's sister Eliza.

    She married an unknown man. Children:

    1. Claud D. [Bradford][4] Houston.
    2. B. F. Bradford. Born, 1860. Died, before 1870. Census: 1860, in Henderson Co., TN.
