Bayard Houston, farmer and stock raiser, section 19, owes his nativity to 
Delaware, where he was born September 7, 1834. His father, Jacob Houston, was 
a native of the same state, while his mother, whose maiden name was Sarah A. 
Taylor, came originally from Maryland. Jacob Houston died in 1838. Bayard spent 
his youth on a farm in Delaware and received a common school education. In 1856 
he removed to Missouri and located in Henry County, purchasing the farm where 
he now resides, containing 240 acres. Mr. Houston was married in Henry County, 
July 1, 1858, to Miss Catherine Jane Adamson, a daughter of William and Frances 
Adamson. She was born in Bates County, Missouri, but was reared in Henry County. 
They have nine children: Alice (wife of James Spangler), William, Frances (wife 
of L. Spangler), Thomas, Berry, John, Eliza, Bayard T. and Hattie. They have also 
lost two children, who died in infancy. Mr. Houston is a thrifty, enterprising man, 
and one of the substantial citizens of the county.
