I also am searching the right Samuel T. Houston.
What I have may help you.
There were three Samuel Houstons in Georgia at this time.
Samuel T. Houston, Sr was born on 26 April 1811 in Duplin County, North Carolina. (Samuel T. and Esther Houston's Family Bible Records published in DAR , Georgia Chapters, Vol. IV, OLD BIBLE RECORDS AND LAND GRANTS.)
Houston Bible Records give Florida as the birth place of Samuel T. Houston. All census records, 1850 and later, reported North Carolina as place of birth. All reported place of birth Duplin County, North Carolina. 1880 he reported both parents born in North Carolina. Baptized 25 Sept. 1839, Randolph Co., GA (Bethel Mission, Baptist Chapel) Died 4 March 1881 in Sarepta, Webster Parish, Louisianna. Buried in Sarepta, LA at Missionary Baptist Church Cemetary.
Easter Martin(born 14 FEB 1819 in Union Co, South Carolina) Married Samuel T. in Randolph County and resided there in 1836, just prior to them showing up in Early County, GA. Before 1850 they returned to Randolph County to live.
September 25, 1839, Samuel Houston, Crawford Martin and Isaac T. Houston Called for their letters of dismissal to join another church, November 1839.
These three probably relocated to Early Co., GA together.
Isaac T. Houston is presumed to be a brother of Samuel T. Houston.

Hope you can use some of this.
I'm searching Samuel T. Houston, father of Louiza Jane Houston, mother of Lassie Lee Barrow b.1895, (married Andress) let me know if you find Samuel coming this way.
If you don't have early history of Houstons, let me know. Be glad to share.
