    NOTE 2./ See letter .jpeg image:

    Edward E Houston and sons Stephen Hopkins, George Washington and John B Houston were accused and tried for the murder of James Orr. James Orr was a brother-in-law of Nancy Amanda Bush Houston, wife of Edward "Ned" brother James Lafayette. David Bush one of the accusers was her brother. He instructs Edward "Ned" at the end of the letter to tell James to cease all communication with his wife's family

    NOTE 3./ Edward E Houston – had 12 children with 3 wives. The oldest 2 sons were Edward “Ned” and James Lafayette. They were 12 to 15 years older than the next set of siblings. They as far as I can tell were the first to leave Barbour Co.. Ned settled in Bienville Parish in 1845 and made trips to Scout the area as early as 1843. James Lafayette followed in 1851. Other families came with them from Barbour Co. such as Holland, Wimberly, Bush, Sims (to name a few I know of so far) – in Wagon Trains using overland routes – The Kings Highway passes through Winn Parish, LA., which is due south of Bienville. The Kings Highway was the main wagon train route that lead west to California. They could also have used another route – going along the gulf coast and ferrying up the Mississippi.

    There are 3 more siblings that followed – Stephen Hopkins Houston, John B Houston and Mary W. Houston Sims. All of them stopped in Bienville Parish before going on to Texas, whether it was to spend the winter, restock provisions and rest or just visit family and it may have been for all of those reasons. John B came before the Civil War – He joined an LA Confederate Infantry unit. More of the siblings may have followed but I have not researched all of them yet to be able to tell you.
