Welcome:
After years of hitting road
block afer road block from
this point back, I decided
the best thing for me to do
was to map every Houk I
could find starting in
Missouri.
This extensive research
taught me to be a pro at
finding the impossible.
The death record shows
that William was born in
Cooper Co Missouri in
July 1829 and the
1830 census shows the
only Houk family in
cooper Co. is George Houk
and there is a male
child between 1 and 4.
As hits go I'd say this is a
pretty good bet that
William's father is
George Houk
