Lieut.

Lieut. John Huston married Catherine Anderson, born November 4, 1748, died JuIy 1. 1822. She was a daughter of Eliakirn Anderson and a sister of Lieutenant-Governor George Anderson of Trenton, N. J.

Lieut. John Huston with his wife, Catherine and family moved from Trenton, N. I. to Hamilton Township, Northampton County, Pa., now, Monroe County, shortly after the close of the Revolutionary War, where he reared his family consisting of four sons and three daughters. They were among the first to be buried in the Shafer's School House Cemetery located about two miles West of Stroudsburg, in Stroud Township, Monroe County, Pa.
