Hello ~ interesting! I’m researching Heuston/Hueston myself. My grgrgrandfather was William Heuston m. Almira Hatch Barber. Their children were: Theodore, Ebenezer and Jerome DeWitt. This Heuston family migrated from IN>IL>KS between 1850 and 1870. Would love to find Wiliam’s parents/sibling info. Any shared info or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Sherre
Sherre,
Was your Heuston family originally from Ireland?
I’m sorry, I have no information on any Heustons in the U.S. other than my own. My Elizabeth Bridger Hueston’s father was Patrick Hueston and they immigrated to St. Louis, Missouri from Ireland in about 1863.

Good luck in your search!
