The Children of Joseph Huston: James Huston

James Huston was one of my great grandfather Joseph Edgar Huston's uncles, and his children were great grandad's first cousins.

James Huston

James Huston, born 15 March, 1845 in LaChute, Quebec, and he died on 19, May, 1922, in Manitou, Manitoba. He and Hattie Andrews on 17 July, 1872. She was born on 29 May, 1849 in Ontario, and she died 29 March, 1911, apparently in Manitoba. Their children are listed below.
James married a second time to Betha Andrews on 15 June, 1915. I think they were probably a bit past more kids. At least, there is no record they had any.

James ran a shoe store and was postmaster. He served one term in parliament.


Charles Huston

Charles Andrew Huston, was born on 5 May, 1876, in Stratford, Ontario, and he died on 21 March, 1923 in Palo Alto, CA. He died unexpectedly at age 46. He married Margaret Davidson who was born in or close to 1882 in Ireland. No date of marriage is known at present (2010).

Pat Hewitt says that she heard James's son Charles was a law professor at Leland Stanford University. The Stanford law school historical web page indeed shows a Charles Andrews Huston was the third dean of the law school Charles Andrews Huston 1916-1923 and during World War I he was granted a leave of absence to "serve in Washington" See: http://www.law.stanford.edu/school/history/historysls.pdf See pp. 21 - 35.

Please contact me if these links are stale. In the past Stanford has re-organised their site without consulting me or even letting me know.
