Biography

The Houghton homestead stayed in the family until 1915: Lyman, Edward, Charles W., and Clarence.

Research

Gary Edward Howell contributed the burial places of descendants of Lyman Houghton and descendants of his son George L. Houghton

Research

JWH gives two identical Lyman Houghtons (same bd, dd and md. to Phoebe Hooper), one in the Ralph and one in the John line; the John line is more likely the accurate one since the Ralph line gives Lyman being born after death of father; see Lyman, in John line, son of Stephen and Lucy (Proctor) Houghton; MLM gives Lyman as son of Stephen and Lydia (Russell) Houghton in Ralph line^15,7
