Houston Street

[Grant Barrett]

New York University Press claims this:

Houston Street: For William Houstoun, 1757-1812, of a prominent Georgia
family, who married a daughter of Manhattan landowner Nicholas Bayard
III. The Georgia provenance of the name accounts for its pronunciation
and spelling both of which distinguish it from the Texas city.
