According to the erroneous description in the flawed Houghton genealogy he was the one who married Esther Lawson; however the man in Bethlehem was a very different Nehemiah from the man who spent his life in Connecticut with Esther Lawson, and the name of his wife in Bethlehem remains undiscovered."]

BiographyB. H. Houghton, p. 1: "Noah was the 2nd child and 2nd son of Daniel and Susannah Pierce (Price) Houghton."; p. 6-12:Patty Fessenden was "married October 12, 1808 to Noah Houghton, Townshend, Vermont. Noah was 19 years old and Patty was 15. The record of their marriage is on file in the State of Vermont Public Records Division:
Groom - Noah Houghton
Bride - Patty Fessenden
Date of Marriage - Oct. 12, 1808
Residence of Bride and Groom - Townshend, VT
Name of Party Officiating - Silas Ball, Justice of the Peace

Noah Houghton appears in the 1810 census as the head of the household in
Wardsboro (Windham County) Vermont:

1 - Male of 16 & under 26
1 - Female of 16 & under 26
1 - Female under 10

...In 1816 Noah and his brother, William, along with David Carrier, John
Fessenden, Sr. and Hugh and Abraham Whittaker settled in Apolacon Township,
Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania. Noah was listed as one of the first
blacksmiths in the town of Little Meadows in the CENTENNIAL HISTORY OF
SUSQUEHANNA COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, pgs. 465 and 468, and the HISTORY OF
SUSQUEHANNA COUNTY, PENNSLVANIA, pg. 425. From the census record for
Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania, 1820 - Apalacon Township:
Head of family - Noah Houghton
1 - Male under 10
1 - Male 26 -45
2 - Female under 10
1 - Female 10 -16
1 - Female 26 -45.

In the 1830 census in Clay Township, Onondaga County, New York, Noah again
appears as the head of family:

Head of family - Noah Houghton
1 - Male - 15 - 20
1 - Male - 30 - 40
1 - Female - 5 - 10
1 - Female - 30 -40

...Noah next appears in the 1840 census in Michigan. At this time he would be 50 years old. In the census record for Lenawee County, Woodstock Township:
Head of family - Noah Houghton
Male - 5 & under 10 -1
40 & under 50 - 1
Female - 10 & under 15 - 1
15 & under 20 - 1
40 & under 50 - 1

...What route Noah and his family took from New York to Michigan is not known, but it could be assumed, it was by water because he lived close to the banks of the Erie Canal in New York. Most of Noah's first family remains a puzzle. From the early census records, it appears that Noah and Patty had several daughters. Patty must have died in Michigan in 1840 after the census was taken or in 1841. No record has been found to-date. Unfortunately Lenawee County Courthouse burned in 1852 and all of the early records were destroyed...

Noah appears in the state census in Michigan in 1845 in Woodstock Township,
Lenawee County:

Head of family - Noah Houghton
Males - under 10 = 1
10 - 21 = 1
21 - 45 = 1
Total Males = 3
Females - 10 - 21 = 1
21 - 45 = 1
Total Females = 2

Copies of deeds show that Noah purchased two pieces of land in Lenawee County - one for $40.00 on March 18, 1846 and the second on April 6, 1847 from Matthew and Sarah Busby.

Noah's family in Michigan are descendants through his marriage to Sarah Smith who was born in England. The 1850 census is the first census to list the individual family members' names and the following record appears again from Woodstock Township, Lenawee County, Michigan:

Noah Houghton - 60 - Born N.H. - Blacksmith
Sarah - 46 - England
Henry - 7
Wesley - 4

Again in Woodstock Township, Lenawee County, Michigan, the 1860 census record reads:

Noah Houghton - 69 - Born N.H. - Farmer
Sarah - 53 - England
Henry E. - 17
Wesley - 14
Value of real estate - $900
Value of person - $300

In 1870 Noah and Sarah were living with Wesley and wife Mary in Woodstock
Township, Lenawee County, Michigan. The census as the head of the househould:
Wesley - 24 - Farmer - born in Michigan
Mary - 17 - Keeping House - born in Ireland
Noah - 81 - Farmer - born in Vermont
Sarah - 63 - Keeping House - born in England

Noah died August 3, 1873...

Betty Houghton Williams was told that Noah and Sarh's house burned, and they
lost all of their possessions. We think they lived with their older son, Henry E. Houghton in Ingham County, Michigan until Noah's death in 1873. Noah is buried in Leslie Cemetary, Ingham County, Michigan."
