Is Sam Houston Uncle Sam?

Answer:
No. Uncle Sam came from the American Revolution and some historians think he was a real person. It is thought he delivered food to Valley Forge. Well, over 100 years later Sam Houston was born. They are not connected. Uncle Sam showed up again in WW1 posters to convince men to enlist.
