Welcome:
 
 After years of hitting road
 block afer 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.
 This extensive research
 taught me to be a pro at
 finging the impossible. 

 As it turns out most start
 from George Houk. James
 was born in Moniteau Couunty
 Missouri 
 His wife gave birth to 9
 children. He worked as a
 farmer. He died in Washington
 Township Vernon Co Missouri
 of arterio Sclerosis.
 He is buried in Clinton.
