The goal of this project is to clarify the family and connect the descendants of brothers Joseph Percy Huston (1784-1865 Saline County, Missouri) and Benjamin J Huston (1786-1868 Saline County, Missouri), and see how they fit into the Houston/Huston family of Paisley, Scotland.

Right now this project just has one member, me. I am Dave Cushing and Benjamin J Huston is my maternal great-great-great-great grandfather.

Here are some of the tasks that I think need to be done. I'll be working on them, and could use your help.

  • Learn how to offer a financial incentive to have the Y chromosome DNA of a direct male descendant tested and the discovered haplogroup identity shared.

Will you join me? Please post a comment here on this page, in G2G using the project tag, or send me a private message. Thanks!

Visited Arrow Rock, and the Saline County Missouri county clerk and registrar of deeds, in 2006 to research primary sources and experience the area the Huston brothers helped settle in 1819 before the Missouri Territory became a state in 1821. Charming and fascinating!

Hi Dave,

It sounds like you'd benefit from a one name study. Have you checked out our One Name Studies Project: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/One_Name_Studies One Name Studies Project? They have a great FAQ page here: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:One_Name_Studies_FAQ_Page and the current leaders are Doug Lockwood http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Lockwood-1016 and Alison Andrus: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Andrus-373. They'd be wonderful to talk with about your study.Thanks for starting it!
