Two books and numerous articles have been written about Temple Houston, the colorful youngest son of Sam Houston. But Temple had not been an only child.
The man who defeated Gen. Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna at San Jacinto and went on to become the first president of the Republic of Texas married Margaret Lea Power on May 9, 1840 in Marion, Ala.
