Research

Asa Houghton's father, who supposedly settled in Haldimand Township, Northumberland County, CW. According to a Houghton bible Asa was born in Vermont in 1800, I have been able to confirm this with the information passed between you, Linda, and some of the later census records say the father or grandfather (Asa) was born in Vermont. I have not been able to find any early records of a Houghton in either Haldimand or Cramahe townships, but Asa did marry a Rebecca Conklin whose father I found in the 1803 and later Cramahe township census returns.
