From: http://familypedia.wikia.com/wiki/Ann_Houston_(c1705-c1765)

• Ann Houston (c1705-c1765),
  • is identified as the daughter of Christopher Houston (c1676-c1726) and Martha, of Mill Creek Hundred, New Castle Co., DE through a comparison of the wills of Christopher Houston and his son Samuel.
    • Heirs listed in both wills (e.g., wife Martha, sister Ann, etc) are consistent between both wills.
      • Christopher specifically identifies Ann and Samuel in his will, along with his mother Martha.
      • Ann later appears in Samuel's will of ????, where she is identified as "Anne Walker". This indicates that she had married John Walker by the time her brother's will was written in 1739. This is consistent with the 1734 DOM for Ann and John III as given by White 1902.
• Relatively few records survive that can be associated with Ann Houston. Most are in association with her husband John Walker. Those records normally identify her only a "wife Ann".
  • The wills for her father Christopher, and brother Samuel, are particularly significant because they help provide an interlocking evidentiary chain that allows us to be confident that "Ann, daughter of Christopher", is indeed the "Ann wife of John Walker".

Will of Samuel Houston, 1739, From Wills of Chester County, PA, extracts

• Will of Samuel Houston Chester CO., Pa, E. Nottingham farmer listing wife Esther, Mother Martha, with his personal estate later going to Robert, Christopher and James Houston, ANNE WALKER, Margaret Linn, Jennet Linn, and Martha Linn.

Commentary: This is from an extract of Chester County wills. [Check original, and add to references]. The Anne Walker mentioned is believed to be Anne Houston Walker, wife of John III. This seems to be the only record referring to any of the Wigton Walker line in this area.

From: http://familypedia.wikia.com/wiki/John_Walker_III_(1705-c1776)

• Date of Marriage: Mar 1734
• Ann was probably living with her brother Samuel Houston, who is described in the record of his will as a "farmer of East Nottingham".
• It is likely that the marriage either occurred in East Nottingham, in Old Chester Co, PA, or in adjacent West Nottingham, where the Nottingham Presbyterian Church was located near the modern community of Rising Sun, Cecil Co. MD.
