I have a John Houstoun born 1765 Frome, Somerset, England who died about 1835 in Boston, Middlesex, Massachusetts. Wondered if it might be mine.

Thanks for looking Maddie, the bottom one is one of mine, he stole again after he was let out and ended up dying on a hospital ship after being on one of the hulks.Maybe one day I'll find more on my John Houstoun from Frome.
