My husband's great grandmother was Mary Ann Houston, the daughter of Houston-McMillan marriage you mentioned. Our family still owns the old McMillan farm just NE of Houston. What info are you needing.

My grandmother is from Randolph county, her maiden name was Houston. There are McCormicks, Houstons, Bowles, Boling and Betts on her side of the family. I know some of them came from Ireland and some are cherokee. I do have a Margaret McCormick, and seem to recall the name McMillan but haven't linked that name yet. You may want to look in Sparta, ILL also and Caledonia Cemetery also, because the Irish were close knit.

I would love to chat with you and give you what I have as far as the story from My grandfather Elmore Van Houston. He is the son of Andrew Black Houston and Leona Iona DeWhitt. Andrew is the son of Thomas Houston and Nancy Black. Thomas is the son of William Houston, which I believe married mary McMillian. and is the brother of Mary, but i get really lost. there is so many whiliams, and Thomas's in the houston family in sparta and such. I need to find a way to talk to you and share and compare notes, letters etc. Would you be interested?
