BiographyRichard Houghton: Learned of a Charles Newell Houghton (b. 1837 d. 1922) from members of the Winnebago tribe on the Nebraska reservation.  Charles was the grandfather of a woman who responded to one of my letters.  He, according to her had little to do with Caucasians and lived in the tribe his whole life.  He was greatly respected by the Winnebago people.1 
Notablelived with Winnabago Indians on their reservation most of his life.
NoteA Giant Visits His Daughter - Winnebago

"There a town was and in the fall there were some lodges. A man and his wife with him took only one small child with them and started to move. There they lived. The man went hunting. Wahó-o-o! There were many deer and bear there. He did very well, getting much food and lard.

Once the man went out hunting quite a distance. There he saw, going towards his lodge, the footprints of a Giant (Man eater). That man became frightened: "Hoho, he will kill my wife, my child," he thought. He fixed his pack and dropped it, and thus tracks went to his lodge and so the man reloaded his gun and he went home to his lodge. When he got near, the small child was speaking, and so he got up to the door and, werakirakúni!, his
wife said, "Father." This she was saying to the man. And he just went in and his wife was sitting down holding the little child, and the man could not believe it, so he swept his eyes again over the scene and there his wife was alive. The woman said, "My father has come," she said, "so make the house larger." He made a large teepee. On the opposite side he was sitting,
sitting there naked. "Greetings, my son-in-law. This year I had done little things to help you. Come here," he said, but the man at the time was afraid. "My wife, indeed let us give him the child; if he eats it, he has fooled us, and we will run away," he said, they say. And so they gave him the child. "If you wish to eat it, you can," they said to him. He did not eat it. "I did not come to eat people, it is only tobacco that I long for," so they
only gave him deer soup to eat and that only he would drink. "I will stay only to spring, then I'll go home," he said, "have no fear of me," but just the same, the man always feared him. And so he killed a man and gave him to the Giant. The Giant said, "You have done a really bad thing." "No wa(Hañká-a)! I am giving him to you for you to eat." "Ho, it is good."

And the Giant built a house for them. He lived alone. The small child had become used to the Giant. The small child would occasionally cry [for food]. "Son-in-law, this is the cave that bears make their abode," and so the man killed many -- ten bears he killed -- and the Giant, tying them together, would carry them. They got much food for the man.

"Yes, my daughter, in four days I am going home," said the Giant. "Yes, now then, it is four days. I'm going home. You will be a very good human being and never want for anything. At the time that you die, here to my house you may come; and my only grandson will be the last one to arrive home." Indeed, in the morning when the man awoke, he was not there. And they say he told the truth.

Indeed, it is finished."

Deathbefore Jan 19, 1686James Houghton or "Haughton Late of ye Towne of Barnestable," died before 19 January 1685/6, the date on which his widow, Mary, wrote her will1
ResearchRobert Charles Anderson, The Great Migration, Immigrants to New England, 1634-1635, Volume III, G-H (2003), 334; digital images by subscription, AmericanAncestors.:
In 2003, Robert Charles Anderson wrote, "The claim has been made that Mary married James Houghton of Barnstable, and was the "Mary Haughton, widow," who made her will on 19 January 1685/6."[2]

In her will dated 19 January 1685/6, "mary Haughton widow ye Relict of James Haughton Late of ye Towne of Barnestable ..." made bequests including to, among others, "Thomas Hinckley ... John Hinckley ye Son of abovesd Thomas Hinckley ... Mercy Hinckley ye Daughter of ye sd Thomas Hinckley ... Experience Hinckley ye Daughter of ye sd Thomas Hinckley ... Thankfull Hinckley ye Daughter of sd Thomas Hinckley ... Abigail Hinckley ye Daughter of sd Thomas Hinckley ... Ebenezer Hinckley ye Son of Sd Thomas Hinckley ... Reliance Hinckley ye Daughter of sd Thomas Hinckley.[3]

Anderson further wrote (2003), "no relationship was stated with the Hinckley children, and, on the other hand, she also made a bequest to "the two eldest children of Joseph Potts my brother Edward Potts his eldest son." Since there is no known connection between the Hinckley family and any Potts family, we do not believe that the wife of James Haughton was Mary Hinckley."2
