EmailJul 1, 2001"I received your e mail and would be happy to assist you if I can. You have
been in touch with my sister, Karen Burkhart, in California.

I think my branch of Houghtons originally came from Gridley IL. My great
grandfather and great-great grandfathers were both named Isaac Smith
Houghton and eventually ended up in Peoria and E. Peoria. I have a little
info about that branch and will try to get you more.

My aunt, Marjorie Houghton Heiken, who passed away in August, had been
working on Houghton for several years. I think I will soon have access to
all the info she developed.


I also had contact, probably 25 years ago, with a lady Harriet Peters nee
Houghton, who came from the Gridley Il area. At that time she lived on
Fletcher Dr. in Chillicothe IL. Her husband was Harry Peters. They were
about my age or a little older than I am but could still be there.


I have one of the original Houghton Geneology books and I also bought one of
the copies. The original has been hard to keep control of over the years so
I bought a copy and when someone wants to see "The Book" I let them use the
copy.
