| Narrative: |
* Family tradition said that the
Houghton family came to Upper Canada about 1805, with other Vermont
families who moved to this area at about this time. Many families were
related by blood or marriage, or were close acquaintances.
*Joseph is
listed as living in South Crosby Township, Johnstown District , Upper
Canada, on Lot 12, Concession 4 and 5 in 1830 , this is the north shores
of Sand Lake, near the present town of Elgin, Ontario . This location is
mentioned in two letters written by Nellie Houghton to Riley Houghton in
1928. They also mention that great-grandfather (Jonathan) moved to, and
lived in Bedford Township, later in Westport, Ontario. The population of
North and South Crosby Townships in 1830 was 145. The early 1800's are a
genealogically difficult period for this area.
