Biography

Hayward S. Houghton: Upon his first marriage he settled on the farm owned and (until then) operated by his in-laws John and Lucy Kimball at 155 Great Road in the Nashoba section of Littleton. Upon the marriage of his oldest son, James Frederick on November 8, 1888, the farm was turned over to him and Charles and Abby Frances bought and moved into the house at 6 Foster Street at Litttleton Center where they lived during the remainder of their lives...
His grandson, Hayward remembers Charles Ward Houghton as a very quiet man, nearly blind in his later years, but known by reputation in Littleton as kind and gentle. He was one of the first in town to equip his farm with devices to save labor. He is said to have bought one of the first washing machines and installed an early windmill. Both Charles and Abby Frances are rembered as very devout. Grace at meals was never omitted; letters and birthday cards were of a religious tenor.²¹

Biography

Son of Dr. Samuel Prentiss (b. 1759) and Lucretia Holmes, who was surgeon in the Revol. War, of Northfield MA; Samuel Jr introduced the resolution which led to the aboliton of slavery in the District of Columbia, resolutions against the annexation of Texas, and originated laws to suppress duelling in the District of Columbia. He was a trustee of Dartmouth College, 1820-27 and received an honorary A. M. degree there in 1820 and an LL.D. in 1832.

Washington Co. Hx:
Samuel PRENTISS, of Montpelier, when he came to Montpelier, and for many years after, was Samuel PRENTISS, Jr., his father, Dr. Samuel PRENTISS, being in the practice of medicine in Northfield, Mass. Young Samuel was born in Stonington, Conn., March 31, 1782; the next year his father went to Worcester, Mass., and about 1786 to Northfield, Mass., where Samuel went to school, and where he studied the classics with Rev. Samuel C. ALLEN. At nineteen he entered the law office of Samuel VOSE, and soon left there and went into the office of John W. BLAKE, of Brattleboro, and was, in December, 1802, admitted to Windham County bar.

He came to Montpelier and opened an office in May, 1803. He married Lucretia HOUGHTON, daughter of Edward HOUGHTON, of Northfield, Mass., October 3, 1804. She was born March 6, 1786, and died June 15, 1855, nineteen months before her husband, who died January 15, 1857.

They had twelve children, of whom two died in infancy (Augustus, their tenth child, born February 16, 1822, and died May 19, 1822; and Lucretia, their eleventh child, born June 13, 1823, and died July 23, 1823). Of the ten sons who reached manhood, nine were lawyers. The remaining son (their third child, Edward HOUGHTON, born December 28, 1808) was a druggist, but May 21, 1842, was appointed clerk of the District Court for Vermont, and held the position till September 20, 1859. Edward H. married Laura H. DOANE, April 10, 1831. He moved to Brooklyn, N. Y., in 1866. Of the seven children of Edward H., two, Charles C. and Samuel F. (who will be remembered by the members of the 2d Vermont Brigade as an aide on the staffs of Gens. STOUGHTON and STANNARD), are now law partners in New York city.

As several of the nine sons of Judge PRENTISS, who became lawyers, were not admitted in Washington county, I have thought best to give notices of this "Montpelier nine" here, and not in the order of their admission. More full accounts of them will be found in Binney's Genealogy of the Prentiss Family, and of Charles W., John H., and Henry F. in Baldwin's Orleans County Bar....

Samuel Prentiss was in the full practice of the law when Washington county was formed, and so continued for the next fourteen years. In politics he was in early days a Federalist and afterwards a Whig. In 1822 he declined an election as Judge of the Supreme Court, and it is said that his reason was a modest distrust of his own ability to perform the duties, a distrust shared by no one else. In 1824 and 1825 he represented his town, and in 1825 became a member of the Supreme Court and in 1829 chief Judge of that court. In 1830 he was elected to the United States Senate and re-elected in 1836. In 1842 he was appointed Judge of the United States District Court for Vermont, and was Judge of that court until he died.

E.J. PHELPS, late Minister to England, in his address in 1882 upon Judge PRENTISS, refers approvingly to Chancellor KENT's declaration that he regarded Judge PRENTISS, although Judge STORY was then living, as the best jurist in New England. Mr. PHELPS says of the last time he saw him on the bench

"He was as charming to look at as a beautiful woman, old as he was. His hair was snow white, his eyes had a gentleness of expression that no painter could do justice to; his face carried on every line of it the impression of thought, of study, of culture, and complete attainment. His cheek had the glow of youth. His figure was as erect and almost as slender as that of a young man's. His whole fine attire, the snowy ruffle and white cravat, the black velvet waistcoat, and the blue coat with brass buttons was complete in its neatness and elegance, and the graciousness of his presence, so gentle, so courteous, so dignified, so kindly, was like a benediction to those who came unto him."

Of Mrs. PRENTISS, Thompson says that "she was one of earth's angels"; and Rev. Dr. LORD that she was "of remarkable sweetness and gentleness of disposition. She never forgot a favor. She never remembered an injury. The one never escaped her acknowledgment and gratitude; the other never stirred her spirit." Of her Judge PRENTISS said, after her death, that in all his married life of more that fifty years he had never known or heard of an instance in which she had spoken an unkind word or lost the perfect control of her temper.

Rare lives, those of the Judge and his wife, but not lived without a struggle! Mr. PRENTISS, "inheriting from his father existence and poverty," had not the stolid nature that goes its way untouched by temptation. As he neared middle life he became intemperate." Mrs. Prentiss was very judicious." She Judged him not, and her presence and her voice shielded him:

"I will attend my husband, be his nurse,
Diet his sickness, for it is my office,
And will have no attorney but myself;
And therefore let me have him home with me."

The influence of her daily life at last triumphed and the good husband was regained to and by the good wife. His restoration to mastery over himself, once returned, was never lost. It came some years before his public career began. And all through the after years that brought honors to him, honors that he worthily bore, his neighbors saw in the wife his "guardian angel" who had made the wearing of those honors possible, and who had preserved him to be the statesman and the Judge."
