Note

Rod Hicks states that Asa settled and founded Houghton, Houghton Co., MI. But Asa lived in Ionia Co., MI.

"Houghton, Michigan was named for the geologist Douglass Houghton who explored the area in the 1830s - 40s. Here is the link to the history page of our downtown website: http://downtownhoughton.com/history.php

You may already be aware of this, but there is a "Houghton Lake" in Michigan's lower peninsula with which we are often confused. I have no idea, however, of the history of its name.

Good luck with your research."
