  From Rebecca Price Emmett (horsemom@@richmond.infi.net) 6 Aug 1997 -- "She was the ninth and last child of John Houston (one of the original 1735 immigrants). They were married in a fort, on the spot where Maryville, Blount Co., Tenn., now stands. They resided in Blount County until 1810 when they moved to the Southwest where they both died. She was about sixty-three years of age at her death, and died before her husband. Her son, Jno. H. Wallace, writes - 'She died enjoying a full confidence of her acceptance through the Redeemer. I speak assuredly, since I was with her day and night for six weeks before her departure. She selected a text from which she desired her funeral to be preached. My father, Joel Wallace, died at about eighty years of age. From my knowledge of him in early life I have satisfactory evidence to believe he was a true Christian.'
