I find myself coming to your group from a different direction, now in my fourth year of research so please bare with me.
Has anyone experienced any connection to the assassination from the Famous Sam Houston and familly.

Welcome to the forum!

I am not sure that I am tracking what you are saying. Are you saying that there is a connection between Sam Houston and/or his family with the JW Booth conspiracy of April 1865? If so, I would be interested to know exactly what the connection is. That Sam and JWB's father, Junius Brutus Booth, were acquainted and were known to enjoy a beverage or five together has been fairly well established (as previously pointed out, most notably by Nora Titone), but Junius died in 1852 and Sam died in July 1863, so I am not seeing the link here. So, I am quite curious, what are you seeing that I obviously am not.
