I appreciate your input on this article. I'm always open to new information. However, what's there now is based on a good secondary source (Houston, 1882). While he himself probably did not have personal knowledge about this person, we at least know that Houston was collecting information from people who did (they knew her, or of her from family and friends. Rootsweb is a good source of iinformation to be followed up, but it does not make a good source for citation, as there's no reasonable expectation that the information is accurate.  This is particular true when the only reference is to "Rootsweb"---Rootsweb is a mighty big place, and I'm sure the information you are pointing to is there somewhere, but without a better reference, its not really re-locatable.  If it can't be relocated it cant be checked and verified. If you can find a primary source that shows her name was Ann, by all means, add that information---but you do need a good source.
