Thomas and Nancy Adair Houston
Thomas and Nancy were married in County Antrim, Ireland in June of
1832. They left very soon along with [we believe] his father John
Houston and mother, Mary McBroom and their
other children on the sailing ship The Clansman which left Belfast on
June 20 and arrived in Baltimore on August 20, 1832.
They traveled by wagon to Pittsburg, which, I believe, took them 12
weeks. They lived there until 1839 and then traveled to Findley Township
in Mercer County where they purchased a farm, which became the family homestead
and where they lived and raised their children until their deaths in 1898 and
1900.
They had 10 children in all, but only seven lived to adulthood. The
seven children were all present in 66th Wedding
Anniversary photo, we believe: Mary, John,
Robert, William, Hugh H., Thomas A. Jr., and James.
Thomas died in 1898 and Nancy died about a year and a half later in
1900. They are buried in Findley
Cemetery in Findley Township, as are several of their children.
Research submitted by Jean Todd, great
granddaughter of John Houston, and great-great granddaughter of Thomas and Nancy
Adair Houston.
