NoteAitkin: (CJV: erroneously) "his wife, a descendant of Sir Ralph Houghton,
bom in 1623 in Lancashire, England, died June 10, 1700,
son of Sir Richard Houghton, bom in 1570, of Hoghton
Tower, Lancashire, who was created a baronet by King
James L, on May 22, 161 1, and according to the National
Biography published in London, England, in 1898, he was
descended from Adam de Houghton, Bishop of St. David
and Chancellor of England, who died in 1389. The Hogh-
tons of Hoghton Tower were also descended from Roger
de Bush, one of the followers of William the Conqueror
in 1066.

Sir Ralph Houghton, although knighted by Charles L
fought on the side of Cromwell. He fled to America about
the year 1647 with his wife Jane on account of his poHtical
and religious opinions and landed at Charlestown, Mass.
He afterwards founded the town of Lancaster, Mass., nam-
ing it from Lancashire, England, his ancestral home. He
settled at Milton, Mass., in 1682, " at Scotch Woods nigh unto
Brush Hill," and he and his wile Jane were admitted to
the church there On June 18, 1682. They had six children:
Mary, John, Joseph, Experience, Sarah, and Abigail.

John Houghton, son of Sir Ralph Houghton, bom August
28, 1655; purchased in 1696 two hundred acres of land on
Stony Brook, two miles southwest of Princeton, N. J. His
will, bearing date June 24, 1709, and recorded in the Secre-
tary of State's office at Trenton, N. J., mentions his children
including sons John, Richard, Joseph, and Thomas.3

BiographyAbraham Christopher Beekman and Elizabeth Houghton his wife resided in one of the Beekman home-
steads on a part of the large Beekman tract between Griggs-
town and Harlingen, N. J. This "farm and plantation"
was conveyed to Abraham C. Beekman by his parents
Christopher and Martha Beekman by a deed bearing date
January 31, 18 16, and recorded February 5, 181 6, in the
Clerk's office of Somerset County in Book I. at page 208.
The consideration expressed in the deed is $12,225. The
description in the deed is interesting as it shows who were the
neighbors at that time. The farm was described as bounded
north by Lucas Hogeland; west by Garret Beekman; south
by Abraham Van Arsdale, Joseph Skillman, and William
Oppie, and east by John Beekman's land. The deed con-
tained a clause providing for a home for the parents by the
following provision: "Reserving the use of the west end
of the dwelling house during the lives of the grantors and
also one half of the garden. ' ' On October 25, 1 82 1 , Abraham
C. Beekman and his wife bought of John A. Beekman and
Alletta his wife another homestead estate of one hundred
and eighty acres situated on the banks of the Millstone
River near Griggstown which is still in the possession of
the family.6
