My earliest known paternal ancestor William Houston 1802-1847 was based at Back Park Farm, Carnstroan Townland adjacent to Slemish Co Antrim and who was married to Margaret Moorhead 1804-1890.
Their Son was John Houston 1836-1916 who went to Broughshane and married Margaret Mahood 1842-1905. Their Son was William Houston 1881-1972 who married Mary Ann Cumming 1880-1942.
I (James Houston) am a Grandson of William Houston 1881-1972.
Paternal gravestones and memorials are in Broughshane and Racavan Graveyards Co Antrim.

Hello, my brother Wayne Magee has a one step DNA match (according to FamilySearch results with a James Houston whose known ancestor is listed as William Houston b 1802 Northern Ireland d 1847. I am wondering if you have a tree posted anywhere or are aware of any Magee s or McGee s that married Houston s?
Our known ancestor is my ggg grandfather William Magee b Northern Ireland 1797/1798 who came to Canada circa 1818
With thanks for any leads you may have.
