      "The will of William Huston [1766-1838] of Lexington, Ky includes bequests only to the following beneficiaries: son William Huston, daughter Sarah Huston January, grandson George Huston Taylor, granddaughter Elizabeth Norton, and niece Elizabeth Christian. The will was written about July 2, 1835.

      In some other family papers I have seen there is a handwritten list of the children of William Huston and his wife, Elizabeth Bratton, my g-g-g-g-grandparents. The information in the list appears to have been copied from a family bible. The document lists a son of William and Elizabeth named James, born November 29, 1791 [10:00 in the morning], and died November 30, 1817, both in Lexington, Ky. There is no information about a spouse or any other information for this James."
