Family Tree
Home

When this web page was started, we only knew of relatives from 2 of Josephs Sons and vaguely knew portions of another. In the past year, we have added hundreds of relatives from lost branches and gained new knowledge of our history and heritage. The new information is being added but it is volumes and a slow process. This "Tree Page" is intended to be a simple sketch or diagram of descendents. Look to each persons bio-sheet for details.

Oliver  >  Unknown
Although, there has not been specific documents to prove that Oliver is Jonathans Father it is believed to be the correct name. The question is, which Oliver.

Joseph 1770  >  Oliver & Unknown
It is not known who or if he had siblings. It is assumed he did. They are unknown at this time. Joseph moved his family to Canada about 1805, where he raised them to adulthood.
Joseph married Hanna and they had 5 Children.

Reuben 1798  >  Joseph & Hanna

Oliver 1799  >  Joseph & Hanna

Jonathan 1803  > Joseph & Hanna

George 1805  >  Joseph & Hanna

Phoebe 1806  >  Joseph & Hanna

I. Reuben  Insert Info.

I. Joseph    > Jonathan & Nancy

The following is a sketch of the family tree as it has progressed from the First Texas generation. All of Joseph & Mary's children  were raised in Texas. However, Oscar was the only one born in Texas.  Until the past 20 years, most of Josephs descendents have been born or raised in Texas. However, Some have relocated in other states, mostly California, Oregon, & Nevada. To my knowledge none have ever gone back to Michigan. The Houghton seeds have been planted and took root in many places. The tree flourished and continues to produce many wonderful fruit.  

The tree's structure today can best be illustrated by separate colors for each generation of off-spring of the five sons of Joseph. I Have numerically identified the five sons of Joseph & Mary in the order of their birth.  Select the bookmark to go direct to that branch or browse through the entire tree

"The future of our family depends on the type and amount of nurturing it gets from the roots to the new fruit.  We as individuals, are a single ring on each on their tree and must nurture each part if the tree survives. We are a part of one of many trees in a forest of trees but fortunately we are all one ring in the tree of life.  Coming from a long line of farmers we know that sometimes limbs break or fruit is soured and that is subject to natural forces but by the grace of God we be not pruned and destroyed."
