BiographySixth owner of James Houghton Garrison House. JWH: "Farmer, living (1911) in the old Garrison House built by James, the son of Ralph, in 1697, and described under marginal number 119...From an interview published in a Harvard paper we take the following: 'The Houghton homestead has the proud distinction of being the only one in town which has been in unbroken possession of a family since the early settlements. James, the son of Ralph, first town clerk of Lancaster, came here after the massacre of 1697 and settled on lands given him by his father; the house so well preserved shows unmistakable signs of having been a garrison, also that it was built at different periods. James, its first resident, was succeeded by his third son, Thomas, who married Mariah Moore, who survived her husband 26 years; their only [surviving] son, Elijah, married Mercy Whitney and had 11 [10] children. The oldest, Thomas, came next; he and his wife, Betsey White, had 13 children; one of them, Cephas, was fifth in line and father of the present owner, Edward Warren. It is greatly to be regretted that Mr. Houghton's failing sight and extreme deafness deprive him of so much in life, not only on his own account but because it makes it so difficult to converse with him. He is the last of the elder life-long residents, and probably knows more of the local history that connects us with the past than any other person here. We were much pleased to receive a call from him last Wednesday, and greatly interested in what he had lately found and brought for our inspection, the oldest and most curious collection it was ever our good fortune to see and handle. First came a little canvas bag 4 x 8 inches, much worn and discolored by time, on which is stuck an irregular bit of paper labeled, 'Papers. Keep for their antiquity, bag and all' Inside is a leather pocket book, stiff and mildewed, but showing still embossed ornamentations not unlike that now in vogue. It contains a collection of worn and yellowed papers, a part of promissory noted dated before the Revolution, several of them belonging to widow Maria Houghton, whose reputation as a fine business woman is still remembered in the family; on these notes appear the autographs of many of the early residents, one that of Peter Atherton, the first town clerk of Harvard. Our forefathers seem to have had trouble with their spelling books. A stumbling block was 'value,' which is found spelled valey, and valu, valer, and valeh. Mr. Houghton says he does not think that he shall try to collect these notes. Still more curious are sundry older papers; one of them is an order from the selectmen of Lancaster to James Houghton, dated the ninth day of November, 1697, 'To warn the inhabitants 'Consarned' to meet in the meeting house at eait of the clok in the morning,' the two chief things to 'consider and conclude' were the country road and procuring a minister. Law and religion seemed to have been closely joined, for a worn and tattered sheet has orders to the same constable to collect and pay to John Whiting the 'Ministers Rate Anne Don. 1696.' On the other side is the list of taxpayers and the sums assessed; among the names are those of the Willards, Athertons, Houghtons, Sawyers, Moors, Wilders, Ruggs, Ropers, White, Beman, Benit, Joslin, Divol, etc., who appear in the early records when this town belonged to Lancaster. A printed broadside is headed, 'Province of the Massachusetts Bay, ss.,' and has the lion and unicorn coat of arms and a curious large seal. It was sent by James Taylor Gent, Treasurer and Receiver General for His Majesty's said Provinces, to 'James Houghton, constable or collector of the town of Lancaster,' and signed in a very be-flourished hand by the aforesaid James Taylor. 'Given under my hand and seal at Boston the first day of December 1697. In the ninth year of the reign of our Sovereign, Lord William III of England, etc., King.' 'The Great and General Court had passed an act 'For granting onto his Majesty a tax of Six Thousand and Forty Pounds, Ten Shillings, upon polls and estates.' Lancaster's share was Four Pounds, Ten Shillings, which the constable was ordered to collect; it any failed to pay he was required still further to 'Distrain the person' and sell the distresses, the over-plus, if any, to be returned to the person. It gives one a queer sensation to hold and read documents that were old before our grandsires fought for the independence of the colonies' KATHERINE LAWRENCE."19,20

ResearchAs early as 1730, I find David Thompson working on the bridge that crossed the brook near what is now the works of the Kinsley Iron and Machine Company. The next year he owned the covenant, was baptized, and in 1740 removed from Canton to Stoughton. In 1736, on the 18th of March, he was married to Mary, the daughter of Thomas and Mary (Houghton) Blackman, who lived nearly opposite the bury-ing-ground in Stoughton. This Mrs. Blackman's mother had a curious and interesting history. It is said that she married Ralph Houghton, Jr., and that at the age of twenty-eight she was at Jamaica, in the West Indies, at the time of the great earthquake in that island. The history of Dorchester gives the following extract from an old manuscript:

"In 1692 Mrs. Mary Horton, widow of Ralph Horton, was sunke in ye earthquake at Jemeco the seventh day of June, between Eleven and twelve a clock at nune. Ye above named person was then 28 years of age from March ye last past."

Another account says she heard and felt the earthquake, and rushed to the door; and as the place sunk in the water, she clung to the sill of the house, which separated from the building. She remained in the water three days and three nights, when a vessel passed by and she was taken on board. Her trunk of clothing floated within her reach and was saved. She afterward lived at a tavern in Dorchester, and waited on travellers. One day a stranger entered the tavern to put up for the night; she recognized him as her husband, and the shock was such that they both fainted,— he having supposed that she was lost in the earthquake, and she that he was lost at sea, being gone on a voyage at the time of the disaster. Another version of the story is that he was lost with her at Jamaica, and was picked up by another vessel.

They could not have been separated long, for Mary, their daughter, was born June 30, 1695, and was married to Thomas Blackman, March 23, 1714. In her old age Mrs. Houghton came to live with her daughter, and was so poor as to be assisted by the town. The house in which she

lived has long since disappeared. It stood on the westerly side of Pearl Street, nearly opposite the old house now standing, which was visited by the Canton Historical Society in 1881, and concerning the builder of which there was some question. An ancient record informs me that on the "ninth of April, 1767, the widow Mary Houghton died, aged one hundred and four years and eleven days; " and in an ancient diary kept by one of the fathers of the town I find this record: "April 10, 1767, Mrs. Mary Horton buried, aged one hundred and five years." The Boston " News Letter " says, " She had been very healthy, and retained her senses to the last." David Thompson, who married her daughter, had a son David, Jr., born Jan. 14, 1738. At the age of seventeen he was with General Winslow in Nova Scotia. Two years later, in 1757, he lost his left arm by a bomb at the storming of Fort William Henry by the French, under Montcalm. For his services he received a pension. He is well remembered by many now living, among others Mr. Ellis Ames, Mr. Jesse Holmes, Mr. Samuel Capen, Mr. William B. Trask, the latter of whom writes of him,15
