At this time, we do not know who Elizabeth Houston/Huston's parents were.
I need help with research.... There are clues:
- She named a son Thomas Wilson Neeley. There is a Agnes Wilson married to James Houston. This family also has ties to the Bakers. Two of Elizabeth's daughter's married Bakers. There were Houstons living in Sangamon Co near Phoebe Neeley Baker on the 1850 census. I haven't checked earlier.
- Sangamon Co., Ill - need to check Probate Case for John Huston Jan 31, 1842.. Estate # 477 and a Jacob Neely 1833 # 136 Illinois Regional Archives Depository Lib 144, University of Illinois at Springfield, One University Plaza, MSBRK 140 Springfield, Illinois 62703-5407; phone 217-206-6520
- Elizabeth's son Houston Neeley had lived in MO. where there were other Houston relations.... need to check St. Claire and other counties in MO.
- There were some Houstons in the Pike Co., ILL area... such as Sangamon Co, Ill.
- Alexander Neeley had land transactions with a Robert Houston on the New River (VA)... I believe he also had land transactions with a William Houston?
- A Neely female married a Houston at Manskers Fort, TN.
