John Houston (1689 or 1690 – 1754), of Scottish-Irish heritage, immigrated from Ireland to Colonial America in the 1730s. During the voyage they learned that the ship's captain planned on robbing the wealthy passengers of their gold sovereigns. They took control of the vessel and sailed to Philadelphia. After living a number of years in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Houston moved his family and established a plantation in what is now Rockbridge County, Virginia. His great grandson was Sam Houston.
