BiographyHe was professor of ancient languages at Phillips Exeter Academy, 1853-55. During the Civil War, he served in the Federal army as captain in the 55th Illinois volunteer infantry and as commissary of musters of the 17th armry corps, 1861-65. He was a constructional engineer and superintendent of the Bessemer steel works, Steelton, PA., 1866-74. He was a Republican state representative in Mass. in 1883; state senator, 1855-86; a trustee of the Worcestor Insane hospital, 1888-98; a member of the Mass. Free Public library commission, 1890-1903; a member of the Mass. board of charity, 1898-1903. He was a member of the Mass. Historical Society and of the American Antiquarian Society.

He was the author of Early Records of Lancaster, 1643-1725 (1884); The Story of the 55th Regiment of Illinois Infantry (1887); The Military Annals of Lancaster, 1740-1865 (1889); The Births, Marriage and Death Register, of Lancaster, 1643-1850 (1890); History of the Town of Harvard, Mass. (1891), etc.

Henry Stedman Nourse [1831-1903] was the guiding intelligence behind the development of the Lancaster Collection, for which he left an endowment in his will. The various scrapbooks of local source material that he complied provide a wealth of information not available elsewhere. Aside from his contributions to the local history collection, over a period of more than twenty-five years he donated many of his books in a variety of subjects to the general collection. Many of these titles now reside in the Library’s Rare Book Collection.

Henry Nourse spent the greater part of his life in Lancaster. Having been prepared for college primarily in this town, he attended Harvard. Upon graduation in 1853, he taught school for several years, then decided to change his profession. In 1858, he went to work for the Boston firm of Whitwell and Henck, an engineering company in charge of filling in the Back Bay.

In 1861, at the start of the Civil War, he joined the Fifty-Fifth Illinois Infantry. Participating in much active fighting, he served until 1865. After the war, he was hired as resident engineer to the Pennsylvania Steel Company, and began construction of that company’s Bessemer Steel Works near Harrisburg. He remained there as a superintendent from 1868 until 1874. Nourse married Mary Baldwin Whitney Thurston, a widow, in 1872.

Having fulfilled their commitments in Pennsylvania and vacationed in Europe for a year, the Nourses settled permanently in Lancaster. Henry Nourse devoted the rest of his life to public service and historical research. He was a member of the Lancaster School Committee and Library Board, and a trustee of the Worcester Insane Hospital. He was one of the original commissioners that formed the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners.

As a historian, Nourse possessed a single-mindedness and a fastidiousness about details that has made him a reliable authority to the present day. Realizing the importance of primary sources, he produced several major compilations of records pertaining to Lancaster, among them The Early Records of Lancaster (1884) and The Birth, Marriage and Death Register … of Lancaster (1890). He also wrote numerous historical articles for the Clinton Courant.

He was a descendant of John Alden on his mother's side and of Rebecca Nurse (hanged for witchcraft at Salem) on his father's side.

Although Abijah Perkins Marvin [1813-1889] rather than Nourse was asked to write the official history of Lancaster, Nourse made sure that his superior knowledge was not lost to the public. He painstakingly interleaved, extra-illustrated and annotated a copy of Marvin’s History of the Town of Lancaster (1879), his many corrections and voluminous – not to mention sometimes acerbic- notes expanding the original single volume into four volumes, which are now found in the Library’s Lancaster Collection.

Nourse’s annotated version of History of the Town of Lancaster… in four volumes forms the authoritative basis a student of Lancaster history requires to piece together a clear and lucid historical narrative.7,5

BiographyElizabeth Randall, 2011: Notes for Joel Alexander Houghton:
Sources for this Family:
*Much of the initial information about the family members was taken from family records probably compiled by Jean Halliburton. Her typed family files, along with a letter, were given to me by my husband’s grandmother, Mary Alice McBride, and by Edwin Dalrymple of Austin, TX. I wrote several key descendants from her address list but did not get any responses. Her letter was dated 1986 and the information included our oldest son who was born in 1984. I suspect that Jean concluded her research about that time. My next step is to either join the National Genealogical Society of which she was a member and/or order her records from the Latter Day Saints. (Jan.
2011)
*In January 2001, I also hired a genealogist, Linda Emry, who lives in Round Rock, Williamson Co., TX to do some courthouse research for me at Georgetown. Linda found, copied, and interpreted the divorce proceedings for Joel and Catherine Ogle Houghton (divorce was not granted), deed, and probate records. She also looked for death information about the couple.

*Excerpt from Dallas Morning News William Adair article dated Sunday, Dec. 2, 1928 where Joel's son Seberon told of his family: "My father, Joel A. Houghton, a native of Georgia, having been graduated from a law school in 18__ , decided to seek his fortune and, along with it, all kinds of adventure, in Texas. With a party made up of young Georgians and Kentuckians, he set out for the new State, then but five years old, and still the talk of the country. They traveled, as traveled everybody coming to Texas in those early days, some on horseback and some in covered wagons, the moving tents of the nomad from the remotest times. Having traversed the wilderness of Arkansas, they stopped for a few weeks at Marshall, then a flourishing town, and, to their surprise, resembling in essential details any good town in Georgia or Alabama, for the leading men were slave owners who had emigrated from the old cotton States and brought with them their chattels and moveables, their habits and customs. While at Marshall, they visited Jefferson, the emporium and wonder of the Southwest, then in its zenith, a city of 25,000 or 30,000 population, but appearing to have the explosive force of an ordinary city of 100,000. From Marshall the party made their way over the old Mexican Trail to Williamson county. At the time there were many more Comanche and Tonkawa Indians in the county than white men and negroes combined. In fact, the white man had as yet made next to no
impression on that region. The settlers up and down the country reveled in three styles of architecture, the log cabin, the Indian tepee and the Mexican adobe hut. A settler named Stroud, panting for still greater variety, employed Mexican teamsters to haul the lumber from Houston, with which he built the first frame house in the county. Father rented the house and occupied it for several years...Father was Judge of the District Court, and the district comprised several counties, of which he made the circuit two or three times a year. When he held court at Georgetown he considered it no more than common politeness to invite the lawyers, the witnesses, the members of the jury, the litigants and the hangers-on of the court home to dinner with him. For some time before the courthouse was built he held court under the shelter of a tree. From the time I was a small boy I personally knew every man in the county as well as many men living in the adjoining counties..."
(See Seberon Houghton's file for the full article)

*Excerpt from a Dallas Morning News William Adair article dated 28 June 1931 where his son Seberon again talked about his family and his adventures: "...My father, Judge Joel A. Houghton migrated from Augusta, Ga., to Texas, and settled at Georgetown in 1848, three years after Texas was annexed. He declared his intention of locating permanently by building the first frame house that was erected in Williamson County. The lumber for the house was toilsomely dragged on Mexican ox wagons all the way from Houston. The structure, a rambling two-story, after the colonial style of architecture, occupied the middle of an eight acre yard or park, and shed quite an aristoractic influence. Father and Sam Houston were close friends, and the members of General Houston's family were among our first visitors. Father was a District Judge when, instead of having ten or a dozen district courts in one county, there were half a dozen or more counties in one district. He held court in Llano, San Saba, Burnet, Coleman and Brown Counties. The counties beyond Coleman and Brown had not been organized. For some time after Coleman and Brown were organized he held court under the shade of the trees, while the grand jury, similarly sheltered, held forth just out of hearing of the court. The court, the Sheriff, clerk and the attorneys for both the prosecution and defense traveled horseback or on wagons from county seat to county seat, camping at night. They once came upon the dead body
of a white man, full of arrows. Father brought some of the arrows home with him and he gave me two of them. At that time the strong bars of the State were those of Austin, Georgetown and Tyler. Some of the big lawyers were Charles West, Buck Walton, Judge Shelly, Joseph Lee, A.W. Terrell, A. Dalrymple..."

Hamilton in 1865...Thomas P. Hughes (a member of the secession convention who had voted “no” but then enlisted in the Confederate army) defeated Joel A. Houghton in the Seventeenth...” (Note: See the above New York Times- 9 Sept. 1865 - article where it mentioned Gov. Hamilton’s judicial appointment of Joel A. Houghton)

*Proceedings of the Republican State Convention, Assembled Austin, August 12, 1868: (1868)
“Proceedings of the Republican State Convention-Hall of Representatives, Austin, August 12, 1868-The Republican State Convention was called to order at 8 o’clock, A.M.....The roll of districts was called, and the following list of delegates presented their credentials: Counties of Williamson and Burnet-Joel A. Houghton, J.M. Young, R.E. Talbot, J.W. Talbot, A.M. Cox, E.W. Talbot...Judge Houghton raised the question of order; whether the election of a temporary, and not a permanent President, would be in order... (Note: This is an interesting twenty page account of the meeting of the Republican Convention following the Civil War. This book led me to believe that Joel Houghton had not been in favor of Texas seceeding from the Union during the Civil War because this convention had a ‘pro-unionist’ Texas seceeding from the Union during the Civil War because this convention had a ‘pro-unionist’ slant. Statements from this convention such as this one illustrate my assumption: “Resolved. That in the opinion of this Convention the Rebe State Legislatures, (so-called), which were inaugurated after the pretended act of secession, had no binding or legal authority to make laws for the government of the people of this State, and therefore, that all pretended legislation during the late rebellion was null and void from the beginning.” The family story is that Joel Houghton and Sam Houston were once law partners. I have not found evidence of this yet. But I do believe that they knew each other through their profession and perhaps during Houston’s governorship. I recently read where Sam Houston resigned his governorship because he did not believe that Texas should secede from the Union. I wonder if perhaps he and Joel were politically aligned in this. Another researcher stated that he found where Joel had joined a Confederate militia group in 1861, but to date, I have not found a roster for this group. We do know that Joel was appointed by Unionist Texas Governor Andrew Hamilton to be a District Judge in 1865 and then was defeated in 1866 by a Confederate soldier.)

*Deed Records:
“Found in a family file-Glasscock Addition (sketch shows Block 15 and Block 16)
Wm. C. Dalrymple To Deed Joel A. Houghton
The State of Texas-Know all men by these Courts and Bill of presents that I, Wm. C. Dalrymple, for and in consideration of the sum of four hundred and fifty dollars to me in hand paid have sold and by these presents do grant and sell unto Joel A. Houghton certain lands and premises being Block No. fifteen (15) also seven eighths of Block No. Sixteen (16) including the north east, north west, and south west corners of said Block Sixteen (16) all being and lying in what is known as Glasscock Addition to Georgetown and situated in the eastern portion of said Town...For testimony where of I have here unto set my hand and seal (being a scroll) this the first day of January A.D. 1852 W.C. Dalrymple

*Research done by Linda Emry-Linda wrote from her research done in Georgetown, Williamson Co., TX: “These two pages give you an idea of how many deeds there are for all the Houghton’s in general, and Joel in particular. These are ONLY the deeds that I have entered so far in my personal database. It would take hours to check them all. I went to the courthouse, looked at the index through 1890 to catch all of the listings for Joel, then I spot checked those that had Joel and Catherine’s name. There was no genealogical info in any of the deeds. However, the last entry I found for Joel was in Vol. 27, page 336 and another on page 339. He was giving power of attorney to William Dalrymple (his daughter’s father-in-law) to sell lots 2 & 3 in Georgetown. Both entries are dated 13 Sep. 1881, and give Joel’s place of residence as Llano County. Since Joel was on the 1880 Williamson County census, we can narrow down the time period when he moved to Llano County (probably the town of Llano, since it is the county seat, and Joel is a lawyer).” (Note: I have the list of deeds that she mentioned for future research.)

Additional Notes about Joel Houghton:
1825-alternate birth date and place-probably in Green Co., GA (where his parents married on 21 Feb. 1822)
1861-Joel enlisted in the Williamson Co. Company, 27th TX Brigade Army of the C.S.A.

(information from another researcher-I did not find any evidence of this)
1871-Either Joel or Catherine filed for divorce in 1871 in Williamson Co., TX-Book 4, pp. 159, 288, 297 (most documents showed Joel as the plaintiff and Catherine as the defendant, but some refer to Joel as the defendant)-On 5 July 1872, the case was dismissed on the motion of J.A. Houghton (court documents in my family file)

Family Rememberences:
Joel Houghton was a law partner with General Sam Houston in Georgetown, TX. ( A family recollection of Mary Alice Wharton McBride. Her husband, Ralph Houghton McBride, was Joel's grandson.)-This statement also was included in some family obituaries.

Note: To date, I have not been able to find any information to prove that Joel practiced law with Sam Houston or evidence that Sam Houston ever lived in Georgetown, TX. I did find information which showed that some of Houston’s children lived there as adults and older children. Seberon Houghton also mentioned in one of his newspaper interviews that he had gone with a son-in-law of Sam Houston on a cattle drive. I feel that perhaps the families knew each other through their children. Joel probably knew Sam Houston through their profession and perhaps during Sam Houston's governorship. (Jan. 2011)

Death Information:
In some family records given to me, it was listed that both Joel and his wife Catherine died in 1882 in Williamson Co., TX. However, to date, I have not been able to find any formal confirmation of these dates. Linda Emry, the researcher in Georgetown, found evidence that Joel was actually living in Llano Co., TX in 1881 because he sold land he owned in Georgetown, TX and his place of residence was listed as Llano. Three of his daughters and a son lived there at this time with their families. In another family story, I read where Nettie and her sister Ben Anna went to live with their older sister Nancy Augusta Houghton Antony in Cameron, Milam Co., TX after their mother died. The writer said that Nettie went to live with her aunt when she was eight years old which would have been 1878. That couldn't have been right because Joel and Catherine were in Georgetown with the younger children in 1880. The 1882 death date for both Joel and Catherine might be right, but I believe that one or both of them died in Llano, TX and not Georgetown. I've continued to check cemetery records at Georgetown and Llano online but have not found Joel and/or Catherine Houghton listed anywhere. I know that when their son Eugene was killed by William Van in 1886, he was buried in Llano, TX. But I have not been able to find his grave either. In the letter written to Judge Lee of Austin about his nephew's demise, Eugene's parents were not listed so I suspect that they were dead by 1886. I truly feel that Eugene, Catherine, and Joel were probably buried somewhere in Llano in perhaps a family cemetery. Later, another son, Joel A. Houghton, Jr., was also interred in Llano according to a newspaper article. His grave could be with the others there. More research is needed, but I may not ever find out exactly when or where the parents died. (Jan. 2011)6

"When Josephine Wingfield (Davis) Henry (1842-1899) was only ten years old, she became an
aunt when older sister gave birth to Edwin LeRoy Antony (1852-1913). His birth is recorded in
Josephine's family Bible
...Edwin Leroy Antony was born 5 January 1852 in Waynesboro, Burke County, Georgia. He was
the son of Dr. Milton Antony, Jr. and Margaret Frances (Davis) Antony. His maternal grandparents
were Milton Grant Davis, Sr. and America James (Fears) Davis. When he was seven years of age,
his family removed to Texas, settling in Brazoria county, and remaining there until after the Civil
War. In 1867 he took up his residence in Milam County, Texas, where he attended the commonWar. In 1867 he took up his residence in Milam County, Texas, where he attended the common
schools.
Two years later, in 1869, he entered the University of Georgia at Athens from which he graduated
with honors in 1873. In 1874 Antony was admitted to practice law in the courts of the state of
Texas, and he set up a law office in Cameron, Milam County, Texas.
Antony married Augusta Houghton on 20 September 1876 in Marion County, Texas. The couple
had two daughters, Alice Augusta and Beryl. Antony served as prosecuting attorney for Milam
County from 1876-1878, being also ex-officio district attorney of Milam County.
In 1886, during the illness of the regular district judge, Antony filled that office as special judge. In
1888, Antony recorded his thoughts on social life and customs in Texas Material at "A Bibliography of Milam County Publications">. He was an alderman in Cameron from
1890-1892, and was elected as a Democrat to the United States House of Representatives in
1892, when Roger Q. Mills resigned to take a seat in the Senate. Anony resumed the practice of
law in Cameron at the expiration of his term.
It was said of him that "he was...an ardent supporter and admirer of President Cleveland and (was)
of the school of politics known as gold standard democrats". Edwin LeRoy Antony moved to
Dallas, Texas in 1910. He died at his brother-in-law's home in Dallas on 16 January 1913.
Interment was in Oakland Cemetery in Dallas County, Texas."

of Ex-District Judge Joel A. Houghton, of Georgetown, Texas, an eminent lawyer. He is now

to the one above
*History of Texas (no author or date listed on this copy of the article)-"E.L. Antony-The subject of
this sketch is a native of Georgia, of which State his parents, Milton and Margaret F. Davis, were
also natives. The father was born in the city of Augusta, September 26, 1824, and the mother in
Morgan county, August 11, 1833. The parents were married in Morgan county, Georgia, February
6, 1849. Milton Antony was a son of Milton Antony, and both were physicians. The elder Antony
was an eminent member of his profession, being for years editor of the Southern Medical Journal
of Augusta and dean of the faculty of the Georgia Medical Journal of Augusta, of which he was one
of the founders. He died in 1839, of yellow fever, making his life the last offering to a profession
which he had long adorned. He left a scholarship to each of his sons in the institution with which
he was connected, six of whom availed themselves of the privilege and became regular practicing
physicans. Milton, after taking a literary course in Mercer University, then at Penfield, graduated in
medicine at the Georgia Medical College in 1845, and from that date until 1859 practice his
profession in Burke county, his native State. He came to Texas in the last named year and was a
resident first of Columbia, Brazoria county, then of Cameron, and later Rockdale, Milam county,
until his death, which occurred January 25, 1885. His life was devoted to the practice of medicine,
in which he met with reasonable financial success and did a vast amount of good for his fellow
man, being accounted among his neighbors and associates in the profession an excellent
physican. His widow is still living, an estimable lady, a descendant of an old and honorable family
of middle Georgia, daughter of Milton Grant Davis, who was a prosperous planter of antebellum
days and cousin of ex-Governor Hubbard of this State.
Edwin LeRoy Antony, the subject of this sketch, is the only surviving child of Milton and Margaret F.
Antony, and was born in Burke county, Georgia, January 5, 1852. His boyhood and youth wereAntony, and was born in Burke county, Georgia, January 5, 1852. His boyhood and youth were
passed at Columbia, this State, in the schools of which place he received his early education. He
attended Austin College at Huntsville and the old military institution at Bastrop, finishing at the
University of Georgia, at which he graduated in 1873, after four years' course. He read law, and
January 8, 1874 was admitted to the bar at Cameron, where he at once took up the practice and
has since steadily followed it.
Mr. Antony has won some distinction in his profession, having shown an aptitude for it far beyond
that possessed by the average practitioner. He has been busy also in politics and has been
honored several times with office. He was elected County Attorney of Milam county, in February,
1876, which position he held until November, 1878, discharging the duties acceptably to the
people. At the spring term of the Milam County District Court in 1876, Hon. W.E. Collard being
absent from his court on account of serious illness, Mr. Antony was elected by the members of the
bar as Special District Judge and held the term of court. More than sixty cases, civil and criminal,
were disposed of, with many trials, and so satisfactory were the proceedings to the people and the
bar that only one appeal was taken, and that case was affirmed by the Supreme Court. In June,
1892 Mr. Antony received the Democratice nomination for Congress from Roger Q. Mills' old
district and was elected to the seat in the Lower House made vacant by that distinguished
gentleman's promotion to the Senate. Mr. Antony's term in this position was too short to enable
him to make much reputation, but, so far as he enjoyed opportunity, he showed to the satisfaction
of his constituents and associates in Congress that, due allowance being made for the difference in
age and experience, he was a worthy successor of Texas' great commoner.
Mr. Antony is a stanch Democrat and has done his party good service both in council and on the
public platform. He is a ready debater, clear, calm, strong and forcible, and well grounded in the
political history of the country, and, an earnest believer in the principles of his party, He is a
formidable antagonist in the discussion of political issues before the people. He possesses in a fair
measure the acumen of the politician, the ready genius for combining dissimilar forces, reconciling
opposing ones and accomplishing, through the cementing of these, "results" in politics.
As a lawyer he is courteous to adverse counsel, circumspect to the court, logical, clear, compact
and convincing to the jury. In the discussion of questions of law before the court he is sound,
forcible and cogent, possessing that skillful generalization which readily seizes upon the strong
points of a case, that happy condensation of thought which at once extracts the substance of an
opponent's argument, that clear foresight and comprehension which immediately grasps the
angularities of an intricate legal problem and enables him to place it in a light that renders it at once
easy of understanding and makes it stick in the memory. In all things he is plain, making manner
subservient to matter and subduing it to pleasant speech.
September 20, 1876, Mr. Antony married Augusta Houghton, daughter of Judge Joel A. Houghton,
for many years a prominent lawyer of Georgetown, this State. Mrs. Antony is a native of Texas
and an excellent type of one of this great State's best product, an intelligent and refined lady. They
have two children, both daughters: Alice Augusta and Beryl Pauline.
In personal appearance Mr. Antony inherits, in a considerable measure, the physique of his father,
possessing a large frame which carries its due proportion of flesh, a swarthy complexion, dark hair
and eyes, and a remarkably strong cast of features. His physical make-up is of that kind that
would attract attention in an assembly of a hundred men, and is no bad index to his character; for
on closer observation and more intimate acquaintance he is found to be an even more interesting
man than his striking figure indicates."2
