Biography

Aaron Runyan Houghton, youngest son of Charles P. and Elizabeth VanDeventer Houghton, was born in 1825. He was left an orphan when ten years of age, and lived with his brother and sister. He served one year in the Mexican War.

In 1854 he was married to Elvira Stephenson, and settled on the Stephenson farm. To them were born three children; James F., who died in early manhood, Charles William, who owns the home place and is an elder in the church, and Mary Adaline, wife of G. L. Harnsberger, of Springfield.

Mrs. Houghton was a woman of fine Christian character, and like Dorcas of old, was full of good works. Mr. Houghton was a prosperous farmer, a man of affable disposition, and greatly interested in civic affairs. The same spirit which actuated him in the Mexican War and his grandfather in the Revolutionary War was present with his three grandsons in the World War: James F. Houghton, First Lieutenant in the Officers' Training Camp; Ralph H. Houghton, in the Navy, and Edward W. Houghton, a Marine.

MARTIN COUNTY ANCESTORS By Ruby H. Stiles
AARON HOUGHTON
Aaron Houghton, son of William and Celia A. (McKay) Houghton, was born in Mason County, Kentucky, on March 9, 1807 and when twelve years old came with his parents to Daviess County, Indiana , in 1819. In 1834, he purchased a tract of land along White River, through which the New
Albany-Vincennes road crossed the river on a ferry near the islands, up the river from the present Floughton bridge, on Highway 550. In the deed from the government, it specified that Houghton must maintain a ferry as long as it was needed on his land. Floughton made many trips to New Orleans on flatboats and, while there married a New Orleans girl, Catherine Robertson, in 1839. Tney lived near the ferry, while the beautiful old Houghton I lome "Evergreen Hill," was being built. They had three children, Victoria, Jeanette and Phoeba. Before the home was completed, Mrs. Houghton died, in 1843. In 1846, he married Catherine Agnew, a niece of his first wife, and they had six children, Inis, Henry Clay, Robert, Kittie, Doda and Eula. Evergreen Hill was the scene of many social activities in the early years of Mr. Floughton's life. It was here he entertained Henry Clay, the Great Compromiser of
pre-Civil War days. He named hii fir son after him. He was elected to the State Legislature and served three tenns as State Senator. ln the early days, it was a common sight for wagons and other vehicles to be lined up from Evergreen Hill all the way to the river, awaiting their turn to ferry the river. When
the stage coach reached Evergreen Hill, blasts on the stage coach horn signaled the stagecoach stop at Mt. Pleasant, of the number of passengers who would need refreshments when the coach arrived for a change of horses. Floughton became wealthy in operating the ferry and farming his excellent farm. In 1894, a bridge was built across White River, below the islands, making the ferry' unnecessary. In August, 1894, Aaron Houghton was given the honor of being the first person to cross White River on the new bridge. Fie road over the bridge bearing his name on a white horse, carrying his grandson, Houghton Albaugh, in his arms. It must have been a relief to Aaron Houghton, old in years and wisdom, to know that he need no
longer maintain the ferry over the river. He died July 20, 1897. The farm he purchased in 1834 is still owned by a grand-daughter, Mrs. Kathryn Cline, of
Topeka, Kansas. Other descendants live in Washington, Indiana.^19,20
