Problem

John, husband of Nancy Williams: JWH gives this John as only son of Joseph "and wife" (Mary Wilson), b. 5,31,1772; (Israel Houghton & Martha Wheelock), Jacob, John, John); but Joseph's father Israel’s will implies Joseph (of John line) is deceased before 1769;

Milton VRs gives parents of John b. 1773 as Joseph Houghton Jr and Anne (Williams) (of Ralph line)²¹

Sir Richard Houghton was said to be of Houghton Tower in Lancashire County England in 1635. Richard Houghton of London gave a number of barrels of powder to the people of... It is said that Sir Richard Houghton had three sons namely, Richard, Ralph, Joseph but some say John instead of Joseph. but it is believed that John was the son of Jonathan Houghton who was brother to Sir Richard Houghton as it is believed that Richard son of Sir Richard Houghton remained in England and that Ralph and Joseph came to America and landed at Charlestown Mass. in the time of the trouble in Charles 1st time in the precise year not known, supposed to be between the years 1633 & 1647.
