Welcome:
After years of hitting road
block after road block from
this point back, I decided
the best thing for me to do
was to map every Houk I
could find starting in
Missouri. I think we are all
in agreement that the main
bulk of the Houk family
starts with George Houk and
his children.
In 1850 James is in
District no 23 in Cooper Co.
living with Father George
mother Catherine & brother
John 14.
After the death of his first
wife James Houk married Mary
Elizabeth Burton. They had 4
children, however the oldest
died as an infant.
