No, Cissy had one son by her first marriage to musician Freddie Garland (that son was named Gary) and a son and daughter in her second marriage (Whitney and Michael).
She had one step-sister, Alana. Her father John got divorced from Whitney's mom (Cissy Houston). He later remarried and had a child with his new wife.
I think Whitney Houston influenced us all but I think she influenced black women the most. She was one of the strongest and best singers of all time and I think we can all learn from the mistakes she made.
Whitney Houston's only child was Bobbi Kristina Brown who was born on March 4, 1993.
Many media sources have reported that it was Aretha Franklin, but in an interview with Al Roker after Whitney Houston's death, Aretha stated that she was not Whitney's godmother, but rather, a very close family friend. That said, Whitney thought of Aretha as a member of the family, and there are reports she called her "Aunt Ree" when still a child. But after Whitney died, reports also surfaced that Aretha and Cissy Houston (Whitney's mom) had a dispute and became estranged from each other; this may explain why Aretha began to disavow any relationship to the family.

1 year after marriage
You are probably referring to Aretha Franklin, with whom she always had a close relationship, and as a child, she called her as "Auntie Ree." There have been some sources that said Aretha was also Whitney's godmother, but after Whitney died, Aretha went on some talk shows and denied this. It should be noted that Aretha seems to have had some sort of dispute with Cissy Houston (Whitney's mom), so this may explain why she no longer claims to have been Whitney's godmother.
Whitney Houston first sang in her church, and her earliest influence was gospel music.
No she was not the oldest child. She was the second of three children
Her mother Cissy was married before, and a son (Gary) in that marriage. Her father John was also married before, and had a son (John III). Both got divorced from their respective spouses, and when Cissy and John married, they had two kids together-- Whitney and Michael. Thus, Whitney inherited two step-brothers, since each of her parents had a child from a previous marriage. She also had a biological brother. Later, Whitney's parents also got divorced, and her dad John remarried; thus, Whitney also had a step-sister (Alana).
