Submitted by: Martha Glenn Stephens Cofield

Births of coulored people belong to A. Houston May 29th 1837 Hannah Born in the year---------1802 Her children Addaline born September 1830 Tilly born August 1832 Ben Sikes born July 1834 Died July 1894 Ellon Born 3 February 1836 Died 24 June 1845 Amos Born 14th of May 1838 Alaxandrew Calvin Born September 29th 1845 Jane Born August 11th 1847 Easther Luransa Born 19th May 1849 Tilla her children Blan was Born Aug 12th 1849 Willson was Born May 24th 1857 Juda was Born April 1853 Entries made by Aaron Houston most likely until 1845. Aaron died in 1845. I have tried to copy exactly as written which includes some probable misspelling. I have been told that Alexandrew, Jane, and Easther are full brother and sister. Also it has been said that the father was an Indian. The white Houston family came to MS from South Carolina in 1840. They were farming land in the Catawba Indian Land in Lancaster Co having moved there from Mecklenberg Co NC about 1822. We can assume that the black Houston slaves were with the white family for lack of other information. .......................................
