1932 in Massachusetts, my grandfather was Calvin Ernest Houghton who died in 1967. I have looked at your website and find that what my father and uncle have told me is different than what you have posted.
My great grandfather Houghton was not Edward Walter, but a man named Frank L. Houghton who was married to Etta Kelton. If you have some sort of documentation that Etta was married to anyone other than Frank L.
Houghton, would you be willing to share? I am working on Ancestry.com to put together my father's background for him Thank you very much, Laura Houghton Larsen Children's Librarian Russell Library Middletown, CT1

NewspaperOct 21, 2012Brookfield, WI, USA, Wisconsin Mass Murder Suspect Commits Suicide After 6 Hour Manhunt: BROOKFIELD, Wis. (AP) — A man police suspected of killing three and wounding four by opening fire at a tranquil day spa was found dead Sunday afternoon following a six-hour manhunt that locked down a shopping center, country club and hospital in suburban Milwaukee.

Authorities said they believed the shooting was related to a domestic dispute. The man they identified as the suspect, Radcliffe Franklin Haughton, 45, of Brown Deer, had a restraining order against him.

Brookfield Police Chief Dan Tushaus said Haughton died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound and was found in the spa. Authorities initially believed Haughton had fled and spent much of Sunday looking for him.

The shooting happened about 11 a.m. at the Azana Day Spa, a two-story, 9,000-square-foot building across from a major shopping mall in Brookfield, a middle-to-upper class community west of Milwaukee. Hours later, a bomb squad descended on the building, and Tushaus said an improvised explosive device had been found inside. It was not clear whether it remained a threat.

Haughton’s father, Radcliffe Haughton, Sr., spoke to a television station and The Associated Press shortly before police announced his son’s death. In telephone interviews from Florida, he said he had last spoken to his son a few days ago, but didn’t have any indication anything was wrong. He begged his son to turn himself in.

After learning of his son’s death, he said, “This is very sad.”

Police released little about Haughton other than a physical description and a photo.

Online court records showed a temporary restraining order was issued against him Oct. 8 in Milwaukee County Circuit Court because of a domestic abuse complaint. Haughton appeared in court Thursday, when a no-contact order was issued, and he was told to turn all his weapons over to the sheriff’s department.

It was not clear who sought the restraining order, but his father said he was married.

A sea of ambulances and police vehicles collected at the scene shortly after the shooting. A witness, David Gosh of nearby West Allis, told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel he was returning from duck hunting with his father and a friend when he saw a woman emerge from the spa, screaming, as she ran into traffic. The area is near an interstate and a busy commercial road.

“She ran right out into the street was pounding on cars,” Gosh told the newspaper. Moments later, a man with a handgun ran out. He appeared to be chasing the woman but then went back inside, Gosh said.

The mall, a country club adjacent to the spa and the hospital where survivors were taken were among the buildings locked down as police searched for Haughton. At the hospital, staff members were escorted inside and critically injured patients were accepted with a police escort. Officers were stationed at all main entrances.

People inside the mall waited patiently for updates during the lockdown. Gina Kralik, a bartender at Red Robin Gourmet Burgers in the mall, said people had been allowed to leave at one point but then police had decided not to let anyone come or go from the mall.

“We’re just sitting watching the news and also trying to find out what’s going on,” she said about 3 p.m.

It was the second mass shooting in Wisconsin this year. Wade Michael Page, a 40-year-old Army veteran and white supremacist, killed six people and injured three others before fatally shooting himself Aug. 5 at a Sikh temple south of Milwaukee.

The shooting at the mall took place less than a mile from where seven people were killed and four wounded on March 12, 2005, when a gunman opened fire at a Living Church of God service held at a hotel.

Black Sheepmass murder: Shot 9 women, killing 3
ResearchThe shooter was tentatively identified as Radcliffe Frankin Haughton, a 45-year-old male from Brown Deer. Haughton was raised in Jamaica and moved to the United States as an adult, first taking up residence in Illinois, and later moving to the Milwaukee area. He had one daughter, age 12 with estranged wife Zina Haughton and a step daughter age 20, who was working in the building along with her mother Zina Haughton at the time of the shooting.[20][21] The suspected shooter's father, Radcliffe Haughton Sr. of Florida said he spoke with his son a few days ago and nothing seemed amiss. He had called for his son to turn himself in.[22] At the time of the shooting, Haughton had been issued a restraining order and was not allowed to possess firearms. Victims: Three women were killed in the attack. One of them was the perpetrator's wife, Zina Haughton, 42, also of Brown Deer, Wisconsin, according to the Waukesha County medical examiner's office. She had heroically tried to dissuade and calm her husband in an effort to defuse the situation before being shot, according to witnesses. All of the living victims, including a woman who was seven months pregnant, were expected to survive. Four women were recovering at Froedtert Hospital from gunshot wounds to their arms and legs and neck. Three of them were in satisfactory condition and one was in critical condition; three of them required surgery.1

Researchhave been doing genealogical research on an ancestor named Emily Cole (born abt 1832) (with parents of Phineas Cole and Eliza Stowell), who lived in Fond du Lac county, Wisconsin. As you are aware I'm sure, one of the problems in researching women is that sometimes they disappear when they get married.

I found Emily L. Cole married a Charles C. Houghton in Fond du Lac county,Wisconsin,on 10 May 1858. This information is onfamilysearch.org, in the Wisconsin Marriages 1836-1930 database.

I also found in the 1860 US census a family of Charles C. Houghton (born abt 1819) and Emily Houghton (born abt 1830) living in Illinois. They had four children in 1860 (Charles S. (age 14), Mary C (age 12), William H (age 7) and Edward (age 1)). I have not been able to prove that this is the same Charles and Emily that were married in Fond du Lac. (This could possibly be the same family if Emily was a second marriage for Charles, such as due to a death of his first wife.)

In trying to research more on Charles C. and Emily and their children I have searched the previous census records (1850, 1840), and later census records (1870, 1880, 1900) for Charles C., Emily, Charles, Mary, William H. and Edward. So far, I have not been able to trace anyone in this family -- not the parents, nor the children. They seemed to have appeared out of nowhere for the 1860 census and then disappeared after 1860. Very frustrating. 

I found the same census data on the Houghton Family project database. Charles C. is #62522 and Emily is #71745, with the children numbered up to #71749. I could not find any other data on them in the Houghton Family Project. 

I was wondering if you have any more information about this family -- especially any links to other Houghton family members or any other data from other sources or time periods.

I appreciate any suggestions or information that you might have regarding this family. Thank you for your kindness.
