Henry Clay Hamilton & Sarah (Mullins) Hamilton After his wife, the former Sarah M. Mullins, died, Henry Clay Hamilton moved his family to south Dallas County, Texas. The year was probably around 1895. His oldest daughter, Marietta, was already married to Henry Lee Ewing, and eventually headed for New Mexico where they lived for the rest of their lives. They first lived in Oklahoma, and moved to New Mexico around 1908. His third child, Henry Thomas Hamilton married his second cousin Virda May Hamilton, who was also from Pope County. My records do not reflect where they were married, but it was probably Texas. William Washington Hamilton married Mae King the same year that Henry married Virda Mae Hamilton, 1900. Martha Anna Hamilton married in 1896 to Henry Jordan Houston and these became my great-grandparents. In the family bible of Mrs. M. A. Houston (Martha Anna Hamilton), in the handwriting of Mary Eugenia Patterson (my mother) is the note: "Granddaddy H. C. Hamilton's great-grandmother was full blood Cherokee Indian". This would mean that one of the following four of his ancestors that were his great-grandmothers was a Cherokee: Margaret Traylor, Elizabeth (Brigance), Lucinda (Latimer) or (unknown) Hudson, all of whom we know absolutely nothing about. So much for family myths. From this point please reference the Houston ancestry.
