I stopped for dinner at the Mayflower Restaurant in Brayce (?), Va, re-read the Mayflower Compact, wondered whether the Virginia whither the Puritans meant to arrive was the same size as the current Virginia, and then found, attempting to answer the above question, that Sam Houston was born in Virginia.

A much younger Eliza lass.
She did not love Sam, and so he
Let divorce and loss come to pass.
Then went alone to Arkansas.
Tiana of Cherokee blood
Wedded Sam, but she mostly saw
A drunken, fighting mately dud.
She saw him no more when Sam went
To Texas and to a new bride.
And Margaret was heaven sent,
A happy marriage till Sam died.

States of matrimonial lives
Changed with Sam and each of his wives.
