My Dear Sir,

I feel a delicacy in Presenting the accompanying sheets to you, being a stranger to you in Person, and likewise unknown to fame. I am now the Judge of the Probate Court, and have been for some years past, And having a familiarity with the circumstances and condition of Our People, I feel that I can at least write understandingly of their wants and necessities, And that I well know what are the claims of most individuals in this community! The Office which I hold is a Salaried Office at two thousand Dollars pr Annum, with Perquisites Ordinarily amounting to from $60000 to $100000 Per Annum additional, this Salary is now about worthless -- from the fact that the Taxes are collected in worthless currency.

I do not write you, asking or seeking for anything Personal, farther than your forgiveness for acts which could not be avoided -- to wit; Holding the Office which I now hold Under state Authority, and which I was compelled to do or starve a large family. Otherwise I have given no aide or comfort Voluntarily to the Confederacy. I have first, last and all the time, been a Union Man, and have been so well endorsed, that I do not think a Man here either civil or Military doubts it. Still the fact that I hold Office as judge makes me liable Under the Provisions of the Confiscation Acts, -- And this being the case, I humbly ask your Pardon & Pray that you will be Pleased to grant it to me, if upon Proper enquiry you are satisfied of honesty of Purpose.

I shall be obliged to you, if you will direct, sent to me sheet acts of Congress in Relation to Confiscation, Income Tax, or any laws which my aid me in giving information to Persons, Or in Preparing matters under any of those laws.

I Am Very Respectfully

L. S. Houghton

From L. S. Houghton to Abraham Lincoln, August 29, 1863

Dear Sir,

I take the liberty of addressing a few thoughts for your consideration; as bearing upon the People of this vicinity: I will be brief, as I know your time is too much occupied to consider a lengthy disertation!--

To begin then, I will state in a few words what is born out by a history of the time to wit; That this City and County was one of the strongest in its adhesion to Union sentiments of any in the South, and so it continued to be until it was overwhelmed by the Force of Arms! Even then the sentiment did not die out, but being overpowered, it had to lie quiet and bide its time.

When the election for President had taken place in 1860 -- which resulted in the choice of yourself for that high station, the Union Party here were ready and willing to accept the choice, and to sustain you in upholding the integrity of the Government: This was well Understood, not only here, but throughout the State! But Sir secession and rebellion, was a foregone conclusion in the hearts and minds of the Party who -- (unfortunately) had control of Our state Government. The Papers representing the dominant Party at once set to work to mislead and madden the ignorant Portion of Our People, And the various branches of the state Government was turned loosed to aid in bringing about a state of feeling which should end in a determination to separate from the Parent Government for imaginary injuries. In Pursuance of this Gov Pettus1 convened the Legislature, (whose sentiments he well knew) and in a most hurried manner a Law was Passed calling a Convention, and ordering an election of Members to the same, Only twenty days notice being given from the Passage of the law to the day of election this gave no time for Understanding or any consideration by the People as to the questions involved: While every Neighborhood was supplied with leading democratic Secessionists to Poison the minds of the People and induce them to vote for Persons who were Pledged in advance to separate this State from the Union. The result -- is known to you, hence I need not further alude to it. While all this was going on steps were taken to fortify this Place in a Small way, and thus to begin offensive operations at a Point known to Gov Pettus & his co laborers as one most violently opposed to their Policy. Notwithstanding all these preparations, and the scurrilous abuse heaped upon the Union Party here as submisionists, they kept a lively opposition at this Point until New Orleans fell. This so madened the State authorities, that they determined to make this a strong Point of resistence for a two fold object, -- One was to stop the Navigation of the River, and the other, (as well understood, by private intimations given out) to cause the destruction of this City, -- as a Punishment for its continuing its opposition to the Patriotic Movement in the South! We had a large Military force Placed here, and we were soon informed that if we did cease our opposition we should be imprisoned, shot or sent out of the Country. Very soon they begun to arrest Persons, some were imprisoned while others were sent off, and many others were warned.-- this very soon had in Part the effect desired by our rulers, it Prevented open opposition. in fact, it silenced the voice; and Probably -- about One fourth of the Union Party from fear of consequences, and from doubts as to the ability of the United States as a Government to sustain itself-- Went Over to the Party in Power here, and soon became active Participants in the rebellion. The remainder stood silent, but stood firmly as ever by their first love, and Patiently waited the hour that should deliver them from this dreadful bondage!

The Season of deliverance has come at last; But it has found us exhausted! And worst of all -- misunderstood! Unfortunately to the Victorious army now here, all of us appear alike, and they seem Unwilling to regard any as Union Men, and hence all must be treated quite alike!-- This does not seem just to those who have born so long the scorn and contempt of the Oppressor of Secession, and I think calls for a change of System that will cheer up & sustain those who are, and have been loyal to the Union, and to give encouragement to those but lightly involved -- to fully return to their allegiance,

I Come now to the Practical Point, And that, is, What can be done for those who are worthy of consideration, and who have been steadfast & true to the Government?--

I should say first make them self sustaining in allowing them the use & control of their Property, and in Permitting them to trade & manufacture in subjection to such necessary regulations and restrictions as may be necessary to prevent aid or comfort to those in rebellion!

Many of Our Union Men here were in the Mercantile & others branches of business and in the Course of their business had outstanding a large amount of indebtedness and they in turn were quite largely indebted to those furnishing them facilities. When this rebellion broke out collections could not be made on account of stay laws enacted by Our Legislature and those in business were forced to dispose of their stocks or the fruits of their labor or industry for that which had been made the Currency of the Country, and When this Currency became Plentiful & a doubt of its being good for anything, seized the minds of all -- then it was that Stay laws were needless, as all Persons rushed to Pay his debt in this worthless Currency. business Men at once foreseeing the end of this, made haste to invest their money so collected in Sugar, Cotton and Tobacco, laying it by to enable them to sell the same when a change took Place, and thereby enable them to Pay their Creditors, Put a stop to interest and also to begin life again. this Property is all, or Nearly all, Seized by the Military Authority and a receipt given for the same Payable after the War, and this too when said Property has not been abandoned or in any way Voluntarily turned over. To me, this does not seem fair to the Man who has stood firmly by his Country, And who has done all that could be done to keep himself unspotted from the Polution of Rebellion. I know several Union Men who are thus situated! and who in Consequence thereof are reduced to the Position of mere mendicants, having nothing in the way of money that will Pay current expenses of their living, their stocks taken from them, and unable to do any business for the reason that their means of doing business is taken from them, And because they are not allowed to trade or Manufacture even for Purposes of this vicinity.--

I write this to urge upon your consideration the Propriety of doing something to relieve this Community, a majority of whom I still think, have held themselves aloof from acts of Rebellion, and who stand ready to give all the aid in their Power to the Union.

They look to you for such relief as it may be in your Power to afford them consistent with your views of Propriety.

Asking On behalf of these People a consideration of this Letter, and at the same time asking Pardon for the length of the Epistle,

I Am Dear Sir

Your Obt Sevt

Biography1. Martha Rachel1 HOUGHTON was born on 13 Oct 1816 in Huntingdon, Huntingdon county, PA.1 Her birth was also reported as 19 Oct 1816 Huntingdon, Huntingdon county, PA.2 She married on 31 Jul 1843, in Fredonia, Chautauqua county, NY, William Fabius Wheeler, son of William F. Wheeler and Susan Conant; but a letter dated 1844 from Wm. H. Johnson to his sister Sarah Maria said: "I dare say you must have learned when in Buffalo of the marriage of W.F. Wheeler & Miss M.R. Houghton the happening came off the 31st of July".2,1,3 She died after 10 Dec 1904 when her son Houghton wrote of visiting Dunkirk to have dinner with her on the occasion of her 88th birthday.4

Martha Rachel and William Fabius appeared on the 1850 Federal Census of Ellicott, Chautauqua county, NY, enumerated 25 Jul 1850, as William F. Wheeler (age 30, merchant, b. NY) and Martha Wheeler (age 28, b. NY). Their children Houghton and Martha/Ida were living with them, along with Alfred Wheeler, perhaps his brother, and 9 others.5 She appeared on the 1860 Federal Census of Pomfret, Chautauqua county, NY, in the household of her mother Lydia Cook Cushing, as Martha Wheeler (45, b. NY) with her children Houghton Wheeler and Ida Wheeler.6
Martha Rachel appeared on the 1870 Federal Census of Dunkirk, Chautauqua county, NY, enumerated 15 Jul 1870, as Martha Wheeler (53, widow, b. PA) living on her own in the household of Lawrence Risley.7
Martha Rachel appeared on the 1880 Federal Census of Fredonia, Chautauqua county, NY, enumerated 10 Jun 1880, in the household of Louisa Edmunds as Martha Wheeler (relation other, 63, boarder, at home, b. MS, parents b. NY). The birthplace discrepancy is of interest because her father died in Vicksburg, MS.8
William Fabius WHEELER was born on 1 Jan 1818 in New York City, NY.1 He died before 1860 in Chautauqua county, NY, when he was not with his wife on the census. He was probably the male under 10 on the 1820 census of Ward 2, New York City, NY, in the household of his father, William F. Wheeler.9 Either the father or son could be the Wm. F. Wheeler who was a partner of Nathaniel Lowry and manager of Lowry's merchandizing store.10 He was likely the man in the following anecdote: "In 1853 a frew friends of the church... Wm. F. Wheeler and Wm. H. Lowry, going home to tea, happened to meet John M. Grant, Smith Seymour, and the writer... had a conversion concerning hiring the basement of the academy and fitting it up for church services." About then Rev. Blinn, the Presbyterian minister, came by and asked what they were doing. They claimed they were going to build a church that would "knowck the spots off your Presbyterian church down there." If they did, Mr. Blinn said he would be their priest and gave them a penny for their first donation. "Mr. Wheeler held up his hand and made oath that within two years that penny should be deposited in the corner stone of an Episcopal church in Jamestown, and turning to his four companions said--"as I swear so swear you all." They answered in the affirmative." In fact, they did, but their church burned down a few years later.11
Research Note: We know William is Mary Anne Wheeler's brother and therefore s/o William F. Wheeler & Susan Conant. We need to verify that his middle name was Fabius. It seems to originate from the LDS IGI.
