BiographyJWH: 'He resided in Boston in the early part of the nineteenth century and was employed on the police force. While in the performance of his duty as a night watchman in Dec., 1825, he received injuries which caused his death, Dec. 19, when he lacked but two days of being sixty one years of age. 'The following is copied from the Columbia Sentinel, Boston, Dec. 14, 1825. Police Court Records. 'On Monday John Holland, an Irishman, was bound over to court in the sum of $2,000 to take his trial at the Municipal Court in Janurary for an assault on Jonathan Houghton, one fo the watchmen of the city. It appeared by the testimony in the court that one of the watchmen heard the cry of murder in Broad Street about one o'clock on Sunday morning, and discovered a man running by him, whom he attempted to seize. 'Houghton came to his assistance, and as they were passing through Broad Street with their prisoner, Holland came up and wanted to know what they were going to do with him. They ordered Holland to go about his business, and proceeded into State Street when another watchman came to their assistance. Houghton was then some distance behind, when the other two heard a groan, and looking around saw Holland strike Houghton with an axe. They then left their prisoner, who escaped, but secured Holland after a severe conflict. Houghton was shockingly wounded on the right shoulder and on the back and loins, but hopes of his recovery are entertained. Holland, being unable to secure bail, was committed to prison.' The Boston Directory for the following year, 1826, omits the name of Jonathan Houghton, but gives that of Betsey Houghton, widow, whence it would seem that he had married a second wife.' See Typhographical Description of Boston by N. B. Shurtleff, p. 354 for the hanging on March 3, 1826.

The Boston Police Department By Donna M. Wells
On December 12, 1825, Watchman Jonathan Houghton became the first Boston law enforcement officer killed in the line of duty. John Halloran, who was hung for the crime in March 1826, killed him on State Street. Watchman Houghton's name, along with that of David Estes, who was killed in 1848, was recently sponsored by the department for inclusion on the National Law Enforcement Memorial in Washington, D.C.

Margaret Sullivan: In 1825, Boston Watch Officer Jonathan Houghton was the first Boston law enforcement officer killed in the line of duty. His name, and the names of other historical officers whose cases have recently been documented, will be added to the roll of honor at Boston Police Headquarters at a ceremony on December 4, 2014; earliest police death in line of duty in MA14
Researchbp of two sons; ? of whether William M. is a real son.15
