Notes:

When the Mexican War of 1846 broke out Houston left his wife, Thirsa, a nd little daughter Margaret, just seven years old, and his baby boy, Manford, in St. Josep h, Missouri, to go to fight for his country. He enrolled August 3, 1846 a t Keytesville, Missouri, and was mustered into service August 9, 1846 a t Fort Leavenworth as a private, 2nd Regiment, MTD Rifleman. He was hon orably discharged on September 25, 1847, at Fort Leavenworth, but no mo re is known. Transportation was slow and communication was poor. Eviden tly he was unable to come home to St. Joseph for some time. Perhaps Houston was so sick and injured that he was not able to get hom e to St. Joseph for a long time. Although Houston was released from the A rmy on September 25, l847, Thirsa didn't know it. Thirsa said she thoug ht he was dead. She married another, Elisha Brown, on October 15, 1847. N o one knows exactly how long it was until Houston came back to St. Jose ph to find her married, or about to be married. But when he arrived and f ound it out, he disappeared, and was never heard of again.

Notes:

After the death of her mother, Thirsa on the plains, little Margaret cared for her baby step-sister, Louisa (Brown), for about a year. A nipple could not be procured, so little ingenious Margaret fed the baby milk through a goose quill wrapped with a piece of cloth. They became very attached to each other. When they arrived in the Placerville area in California, Mr Brown, her step-father, went to the gold fields, taking his older son, Dan, with him. He left his older daughter, Linda, with the Anciel Twitchell family, who were members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He left Margaret and Louisa with the Ephraim Twitchell family, who were also members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
