CJV: My opinion that LEH is son of Daniel Houghton; LEH is in 1860 census with Sarah Houghton; both from NY and had law background since William was a judge in Hopkins County, Texas. Is it through Sarah Putnam, who is then living with L E H Houghton. their sister? Other members of the family have said William Lake did have a sister, Sarah and that she did marry a Dr. Putnam.

Biography

Derl Houghton: From information given by Cynthia's son, William Dudley Houghton, to Gayle Platz in early 1950's: " Cynthia was a slender prim woman and wore a tight corset all of the time. She was subject to fainting spells and at such times her husband would cut the laces to her corset and she would revive. One day in 1864 or 1865 while at home she noticed some visitors coming toward the house. She called to her little girl Luinda, to get the broom and sweep up some popcorn on the earthen floor. Luinda, probably wanting to see who was coming was a little slow, whereupon Cynthia seized the broom and hurriedly started to sweep and fell across the broom, dead. She knew how to weave flax, the only person in that community that did. She probably learned from her mother while living in Maine.⁵
