Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memories of Eighty Years It is in the eighty-third year of my life that I compile this account of my ancestry and these true stories of my own recollections. As far back as half a century ago I begun making written entries of all that I could learn of the Huston or Houston family, jotting down from time to time in a note book, which now lies before me, such facts as I deemed important or interesting. Of these most of those going beyond my recollection have been gathered from Mrs. Nancy Huston Spalding, my father´s sister, a woman of remarkable intelligence and wonderful memory, who lived to an advanced age with unimpaired faculties. The earliest accurate knowledge of my ancestors is of my great-great-grandfather, Robert Houston, for so the name was spelled up to the beginning of the last century, when, for some unknown reason, my grandfather altered the spelling to its present form. Robert Houston was born in Scotland about the year 1730, the youngest of three children. His father was wealthy, owning a large distillery, together with much other valuable property, and being ambitious for his children he gave each child a liberal education.
