Hi, Larry D. - thanks for writing.Thomas Lewis Heston's father was John A. Heston, b. 01Mar1860, Jay Co, IN; d 23Dec1941; m 29Nov1898, Mancy Elizabeth Green, b 1877; d 15Nov1908.John A.'s father was Benjamin Heston, b 1828, Columbiana Co, OH; d 1860, Jay Co, IN; m Jay Co, IN, 22Dec1850, who m(2nd) Jay Co, IN, 27Apr1859, Elizabeth Cookerly.Elizabeth was living with John H. and Anna Cookerly in the 1870 census of Jackson Twp., Jay Co, IN after Benjamin's early death.She also had a daughter with Benjamin named Elmira, but no further information is known.Benjamin's father was Zebulon Heston, b 1802, PA; bur Stratton Cemetery, N of Como, IN; m Columbiana Co, OH, 22May1822, Elizabeth Stackhouse, b. 1803, Hanover, Columbiana Co, OH; d AFT1870, Jay Co, IN; dau of Benjamin Stackhouse and Martha Saxton.Zebulon was the son of John Heston, b 15Sep1768; d 01May1866; m 1792, Elizabeth Randall, b. 1768, Bucks Co, PA; d Aug1842, Columbiana Co, OH.John was the son of Zebulon Heston, III and Sarah Burgess and back to Zebulon Heston, Jr and Elizabeth Buckman and back to Zebulon Heston and Dorothy Hutchinson.The Heston Historians were done in the late 1950s and early 1960s by my father and are no longer in print.We hope to post them 1 or 2 at a time soon on the Heston Family Website (Barney Heston's), as they have been converted to use on the Web by Bruce Knipe (also a descendant of Zebulon's).The logistics just have to be worked out.Pat Heston Horn
