ProblemProblem with children, JWH gives 9 additional children with no bd; a number of the undated children are similar to the children given for his parents Abraham and Sarah in their warning out. Many of legitimate dated children are all buried at Prospect Cemetery in Battleboro VT:
JWH, p. 334 gives some children with dates; p. 521 gives different children with dates (latter listed in DAR lineage books); and p. 363 gives different children without any dates [CJV: it is almost certain that JWH gives all the female children of father Abraham, and his wife Caroline, as children of Henry; exact fit of 9 names: Caroline, Sally, Rachel, Judah, Polly, Eunice, Betsey, Abigail]
ProblemAll Lancaster VRs dates on p. 125 (that gives his birth as 1760) are contradicted elsewhere in Nourse; NOTE: "The foregoing are the Descendants of John Houghton from Lancashire England and his wife Anna. Entered by request of Henry Houghton, of Putney Vermont..."; Henry also gives erroneous dates for Abraham's marriage and his bd

J.W.Houghton, p. 334 gives some children with dates; p. 521 gives different children with dates (latter listed in DAR lineage books); and p. 363 gives different children without any dates.
