I’m a native Houstonian and I think it’s fairly safe to say that many of us don’t have an opinion about the Houston Family. Texans learn a lot of Texas history growing up, so I think Sam Houston is viewed as just one of our founding fathers/heroes, along with the likes of Moses & Stephen F Austin, Crockett, Bowie, Lamar, etc.

I’m 76 and a Native Houstonian. I am the 1st Cousin to Sam Houston, 8 times removed. My 4th Great Grandfather, the Rev. Samuel Doak was married to two Houston women in East Tennessee. I knew Sam the 4th through the association of the San Jacinto chapter of the Sons of the Republic of Texas. Membership is granted exclusively (other than honorary members) to males who can trace their direct lineage to someone in Texas before or when Texas was a Republic. Sam IV was a beacon for us all, exemplifying all that is good about Texas. General Sam was shaped by many ideologies. One that I haven’t seen mentioned is that of his mother. Please think about this quote “I had rather all my sons should fill one honorable grave, than that one of them should turn his back on an enemy. Go, and remember , too, that while the door of my cottage is open to all brave men, it is always shut against cowards “.

Tejanos built Texas. Many Tejano families were in Texas before the anglos. They brought cattle and ranching as well as trade here. They layed the foundation for the families that latter arrived here. Tejanos don’t get the recognition they deserve and the school system doesn’t teach it as deeply as they should. I’m a proud Tejano and I descend from one of the first families that settled the Texas lands.

I am not a native Houstonian, but I am a native Texan that has lived most of my life in and around Houston. I am also a sixth generation Texan and the great, great, great grandson of Amos Christopher Columbus Bailey. Amos C. C. Bailey came to Texas from Ohio in early 1836 and served in Sam Houston’s Army becoming one of the original Texans. He was awarded a large track of land in northwest Texas for his service. All of which has been long gone from our family. Our family has been here since the beginning and my grandchildren are eight generation Texans. I grew up in the Texas Panhandle. I would never even consider leaving this great state!

All of this stems from a thing called the Great Awakening where George Whitfield preached that "ye must be Born Again!". That lead to people abandoning the Church of England in NC, then the 5 laws against the Baptists, and finally the Battle of Alamance. A contemporary, and possible participant in this was John Sevier, who was an obvious founder of the First Republic of North America of free White Men (Credit to Indian Confederations and Republic...Nations) at the Watauga Association. It was men from this Republic who were threatened by Major Ferguson at King's Mountain, who marched 183 mountain miles in 13 day to wipe him out in 2 charges in 52 minutes. Sevier was one of the Captains over the 1100 man force, which was partially relieved by citizens of Wilkes and Surrey Counties NC. Houston's school house is still present near Maryville TN, and about 5 or so miles away is the Marble Creek Plantation of John Sevier. This was a place where John Sevier met with his cousins multiple times, and those cousins were Houston, Austin, and Crockett. Stephen Austin apparently journeyed to this place east of the Tennessee River and the old Spanish outpost of what is now Knoxville. He came all the way down from a town on the New River, where he was born, where there was a shot tower making ammunition. The town he was from was obviously named Austinville. The connection between Houston, Austin, and Crockett as the same family does show that Texas, the Third Republic, was founded by one family. The connection between the 3 cousins to John Sevier connects the Family to the rescue of the Second Republic of North America, at the Battle of King's Mountain. The fact of the time period and Indian fighting of John Sevier as well as the location of Marble Creek not only well connects the Family to the Founding of the First Republic of North America, the long discarded Watauga Association, but also the impetus for its creation, and that is the 5 Laws against the Baptists (who stopped yielding to the governmental controls of the Church of England) and the ensuing Battle of Alamance 1771. (By the way, William Travis came to Texas from South Carolina in the region where some Baptists fled NC post Alamance.) One Family. Three Republics. All because of little George Whitfield preaching "ye must be Born Again!" shatters existing structures of authority defining Humanity and who is good who can go to Heaven and who is Evil who must be destroyed and sent to Hell. Harvard, Princeton, and Yale, as CoE, Presbyterian, and Episcopalian (US CoE Franchise) institutions can never write of the effect of the Wataugans for both the US and Texas. They can never talk of all of this being one single family that has nothing to do with the Puritans or the CoEers creating the 3 Republics. They can never talk of the Battle of Alamance and how Daniel Boone cut roads to help families escape the terror of William Tryon, the drawing of the 9 captives intestines into fire until they died and their bodies quartered. They cannot talk of the 5 laws against the Baptists, people liberated from the false statist church by Whitfield preaching the King James Bible. Pseudo Academia must forever fear that it was the GOSPEL and one family that hatched the 3 Republics, and the fact that their pseudo intellectual lawyer aristocracy has despoiled at every chance. America now faces the same right now. A false construct of civilization who violates its own laws and doctrines of the courts in destroying the citizens at will, claiming authority, and the people of the land meeting CHRIST and shattering the collapsing narratives of crumbling institutions claiming to have authority to define them.

Well, it’s worthy of pedestrian interest due to history, but that’s about it. All this overboard identity nonsense due to prior generations of people who came and went, and went here or there, is meaningless. Nobody in the living window of time we have really cares that much about such. It’s not an important consideration, let alone the most important consideration. I respect and am empathetic to “Native American” history and people, but the same thing goes really. They came from somewhere else as well before they were here. The main question for every person is, are you spiritually regenerated or not. Because without it, the Lord of the dead owns you and you have no future.
