Katherine Beauregard "Kitty" Houston was born on 18 Mar 1867 in Visalia, Tulare, California. Her parents were James H Houston (1810-1902) and Frances Seaborn Black (1821-1904). Katherine's father was born in Elizabethton, TN and in 1837 when he was 27 he married Katherine's mother(age 16) in Pochohontas, Arkansas. In 1860 they were living in Elkhorn, California. He had a farm there that was pretty good size, based on the value of the crops produced.
Katherine's mother was born near Little Rock, Arkansas in Rome, Ark. Her parents spent the rest of their lives living in Visalia, California. Katherine was the "baby" of the family, her being the youngest of 12 siblings. In 1900 her husband John was working as a Copper Miner.
