AlertCJV: The Problem of the Jameses: J. W. Houghton, p. 304-5:
NOTE: The frequent use of the same Christian name in families nearly related and in successive generations has made it very difficult to determine the place of the individual in the family tree. Mrs. Chas. H. Knapp has undertaken to solve some difficulties regarding the James Houghtons of the early generations of our family and for the sake of a better understanding we give the results of her research.
"After a search of all the available probate records and deeds likely to bear on the question and after studying printed records, I have concluded that James Houghton, Jr., whose wife was Mary, parents of Nathaniel Houghton, was not the son of a James Houghton. It appears to me that James Houghton, the son of James Houghton, and grandson of Ralph Houghton, was known as James Houghton, Sr. The latter had a son, James, husband of Mary. James, son of Ralph, died in 1711. A pedigree published by a descendant of Edward, the son of James and Sarah, who was born in Lancaster Houghton, son of Ralph, was born in 1661 and died 1711. His son, James, was born in 1690 and I think was known as James Houghton after about 1720, when James Houghton, who married Mary,lived in the same town.
"Assuming that James Houghton, Jr., was the son of Jonas and not of James, son of Ralph, a second cousin, James Houghton, Sr., his contemporary, who married Sarah, falls into place all right. The difficulty is to explain why a man was known as junior when his father had not the same name, while the James, son of James was known as senior, if designated at all. Some deeds corroborate this theory. James Houghton, Sr., Edward Houghton and Ephraim, all of Lancaster, deeded their rights in lands of Ralph Houghton, either their brother or father, to Jonas Houghton of Lancaster (35 acres on the right of Ralph Houghton, 5 acres on the right of Ephraim, and 9 3/4 on the right of Edward Houghton, a total of 49 3/4 acres). The grantors were three sons of James, son of Ralph.
" The deed was dated March 11, 1724-5, and sworn to before John Houghton, probably a brother of Jonas.
" The next deed recorded, eight years after the other, is also to Jonas Houghton from James Houghton, who is described in the deed as having a wife, Mary, and being the brother of the grantee, Jonas.
" Now the son of James Houghton (II) had no son Jonas that I can discover. The list of his children seems to be complete,while Jonas had a son Jonas and James; in other words, the only James and Jonas Houghton in Lancaster May 18,1729, the date of that deed, were the sons of Jonas Houghton, son of John Houghton (I). Yet this very James Houghton had a wife, Mary, and was called junior in that deed. The proof seems complete. It may be added that the children of James and Sarah were recorded altogether, while the children of James, Jr., and Mary were recorded one by one.
" The tax list of 1723 shows Jacob, Jacob, Jr., Jonas and Jonas, Jr., James, Jr., all living in 1723 at Bolton, while the Ralph Houghton family was represented by Edward, Ephraim, Thomas and John. Out of sixty taxpayers in the town of Lancaster that year, twelve were Houghtons."

BiographyShe did research on the early James Houghtons, quoted by both JWH and MLM: " Mrs. Charles H. Knapp undertook to solve some of the difficulties regarding the James Houghtons of early Lancaster, Massachusetts, after all available deeds and probate records likely to bear upon the question, and after studying the printed records, said "I have concluded that James Houghton, Jr., whose wife was Mary, parents of Nathaniel Houghton, was not the son of James Houghton. it appears that James Houghton, Jr., son of James, and grandson of Ralph Houghton, was known as James Houghton, senior, older than the other James Houghton, Jr., whose wife was Mary. James Houghton, Sr., had a son, James, husband of Mary. James, son of Ralph1 died in 1711, was born in Lancaster, and a pedigree published by a descenant, Edward, son of James and Sarah Houghton, who was born in Lancaster in 1730, gives the father as James 2.29 v. IV American Ancestry). According to this pedigree, James Houghton, son of Ralph, was born 1661 and died in 1710?. His son, James, was born ca. 1721, when James (md. Mary) lived in the same town. Assuming that james Houghton, Jr., was a son of Jonas Houghton, not of James, son of Ralph, a second cousin, James Houghton, Sr., his contemporary who md. Sarah, falls into place alright. The difficulty is to explain why a man was known as Junior when his father hadn't the same name, while James, son of the James known as Sr., if designated at all. (Note: it was not until a generation or so later that the term, "Jr., " was given to a son of a father by the same name - previously the title only showed which of the two men was the older. A third was termed "Tertius," or third, the fourth, Quartus. Or the third man was called James "Center" Houghton, showing that his residence was on center brook. M. McC.)
Some deeds corroborate this theory: James Houghton, Sr., Ephraim, and Edward, all of Lancaster, deeded their rights in the land of Ralph Houghton, either their brother or their father, to Jonas Houghton of Lancaster (thirty-five acres or the right of Ralph Houghton and nine and three quarters acres on the right of Edward Houghton, a total of thirty five acres. Grantors: three sons of James Houghton son of Ralph Houghton, deed dated March 11, 1724, and sworn to before John Houghton.
Next, a deed recorded eight years later, also to Jonas Houghton, from James Houghton, wife, mary, being a brother of the Grantee, Jonas.
How the son of James Houghton #11 had no son, Jonas, that i can discover. The list of children seems to be complete. While Jonas had a son, James. In other words, the only James and Jonas in Lancaster May 18, 1729 were sons of Jonas, son of John Houghton. this James, too, had a wife named Mary, and was called "junior" in the deed. The proof seems complete. It May be added that the children of James and Sarah were recorded together - the children of James, Jr., and mary Houghton, one by one."7,8

Biography of James W. Houghton, From Our County and its People, A descriptive and biographical record of Saratoga County, New York, prepared and published under the auspices of the Saratogian, The Boston History Company, Publishers, 1899.

HON. JAMES W. HOUGHTON was born in the town of Corinth, Saratoga county, September 1, 1856, son of Tilley and Charlotte (Dayton) Houghton. The family is of English descent and early settled in Saratoga county, removing from Lancaster, Mass. His father was a prominent man in his day and was well known, especially throughout the northern section of the county. Judge Houghton was educated at Canandaigua Academy, Canandaigua, N. Y., and after completing an advance course in that institution, which at that time had a high reputation, taught school, reading law meantime, and was admitted to the bar at Rochester in October, 1879. In January, 1880, he came to Saratoga Springs and began the practice of law. By industry and painstaking care in the preparation of his cases, he rapidly established for himself a lucrative practice and a high position amongst the younger members of the bar. In 1888, after an exciting but friendly contest, he was nominated by the Republican convention of his county for county judge. A great effort was made by his Democratic opponent to defeat him on the ground of his youth, but he was elected by a large majority. His services on the bench met with such approval that in 1894 he was re-elected without opposition, his nomination being endorsed by the Democratic party. He is regarded as a hard working lawyer, who prepares his cases for trial and argument with great care and research. His arguments are clear and logical, and as an advocate he possesses strong ability before both court and jury. His great strength is in his plain, forceful and straightforward manner of presenting his case. He is engaged upon one side or the other of nearly all the important causes in his county. In April, 1884, he married Elizabeth M. Smith of Saratoga Springs, and their children are James T. and Elizabeth.2,4,17,3

NoteMay 7, 1915He survived the sinking of the RMS Lusitania, which was sunk by a torpedo from a German submarine. Dr. Houghton was on board the Lusitania in first class. He was accompanying Mrs. Marie de Page to La Panne, Belgium to help Dr. Antoine de Page (Marie's husband) in his war hospital. She was a special envoy of the King of Belgium to US. An explanation for Dr. and Mrs. de Page and mention of Dr. Houghton can be found at http://users.swing.be/medecin/depage.htm.

Passenger: first class. Survived. Was to have helped Mrs. DePage’s husband at his hospital in LaPanne, Belgium. (Hickey/Smith, page 96)

Dr. James Houghton, 29, was from Troy, New York. He was the son of Supreme Court Justice James Houghton. Dr. Houghton was a surgeon who graduated from Harvard Medical School.

While onboard the Lusitania, Belgian Red Cross fundraiser Marie Depage had solicited him for help on the Western Front field hospitals to work with her, her husband Dr. Antoine Depage, and nurse Edith Cavell. Dr. Houghton had told Marie that he signed a new will the night before leaving New York. Marie in response described herself a "happy fatalist" (Hoehling/Hoehling, 79).

James was in his cabin, E-64, when when the Lusitania was hit. He and Marie then made for A-deck where they worked busily to calm women and children and assist them into the lifeboats. Marie also helped bandage the hand of Matt Freeman, the amateur lightweight boxing champion of England, who had hurt his hand in assisting the lowering of lifeboats.

As the water rose up to the decks, Marie and James made for the rail. They jumped from the portside just as the deck was awash and were caught by the suction. Dr. Houghton was hit in the head as they went under and the force of the water separated them. Marie became entangled in ropes lying on the deck, but managed to get herself free. Dr. Houghton then saw Marie struggling, but then she was swept away. When he came up, Marie was gone.

Dr. Houghton got aboard a damaged collapsible and was rescued by the 050. Before rescue, one account given said that he saw George Vernon go mad and dive off the lifeboat.

Dr. James Tilly Houghton died on 25 March 1931.

JAMES TILLEY HOUGHTON
BORN: Saratoga Springs, N. Y., July 23, 1885. PARENTS: James Warren Houghton, Elizabeth Smith.

YEARS IN COLLEGE: 1904-08. DEGREES: A.B., 1908; M.D., 1911.
MARRIED: Mabel Parsons, 1916; Caroline H. Pritchitt, 1929. CHILD: James Tilley, Jr., 1917.
DIED: South Orange, N. J., Mar. 25, 1931.
IN the death of James Tilley Houghton at South Orange, N. J., on March 25, 192,1, the Class of Harvard, 1908, as a whole sustained a distinct loss. To many of his classmates and contemporaries at college, his sudden and unexpected decease filled their minds with a deep sorrow commensurate with the strength of their thoughts and their emotions. His demise came with startling effect, because it followed so closely his strong and healthy appearance among us. His death suggests the thought that no man of virile qualities dies without leaving the memory of characteristics which may profitably be recalled to mind for instruction and imitation. Tilley Houghton was a good citizen, a brave soldier, he was honest and sincere — his professional life wrought great good and it was without reproach. He was a firm, faithful and steadfast friend. He was a genial and pleasant companion. His social relations were joyous and happy. Occasionally a man comes along through the world whose contact with others inspires and stirs their best emotions. Tilley Houghton was of that class. He was of that type which attracts attention, awakens admiration, solicits confidence, and cements friendship. This amity of his was as firm and lasting as his indomitable will. His sincerity secured him, as much as is possible in human nature, against deviation from fidelity to friends or truth. Tilley Houghton's connection with all that was interesting in life was intimate and extensive. He was representative of many interesting phases of life. His life, his character and his accomplishments were such as to warrant reflection upon them.
He was born at Saratoga Springs, N. Y., on July 23, 1885. His father was James Warren Houghton, a Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, and his mother, Elizabeth Smith Houghton. He was prepared for college by private tutors and came to Cambridge in the fall of 1904. It was then that most of us met him for the first time. Many can remember his infectious chuckle as we were introduced all around at the mass meeting for the Freshman Football Team at the Union. He was a prominent member of the Pi Eta Society and took leading parts in several of the Society's shows. He received his college degree in 1908 and three years later his medical school degree. Four years after that, he was on the Lusitania as a member of Madame De Page's party on their way to join Dr. De Page in his hospital work at La Panne in Belgium. When the fatal torpedo struck the ship on May
7, 1915, Tilley joined hands with all the others of his group, and when the word came, jumped. He alone, of his companions, survived. In 1916 he went to the Mexican Border with the Old 69th Regiment of New York under Colonel William Haskell. It was then his remarkable friendship with Colonel Haskell began. When the United States entered the World War in 1917, he immediately went back into the 69th Regiment and overseas with them in the Rainbow Division, which was the first Division to go in October, 1917. After the War, he went to the South Sea Islands on a treasure hunt. How characteristic that was of Tilley! That was in 1921. In 1923, Colonel Haskell asked him to join his staff on the Red Cross Relief work in Greece and we all know how bravely and well he carried on in the plague-infested regions of Greece and Macedonia. And how proud he must have been when King George of Greece knighted him and conferred upon him the Order of St. George. It was in January, 1924, that he went to Honduras to take charge of a new hospital at La Ceiba. He knew that a revolution was on there but went along just the same. He found the hospital woefully unequipped
and only an emergency kit and a few medicines with which to treat and operate upon about 450 wounded. He performed several successful operations, using only a razor blade. He picked the wrong side of the revolution and when he came back to the States what a story he told of his escape through the forests on a hand-car and by boat to safety in Guatemala. Tilley Houghton was married twice. In 1916 he married Mabel Parsons and the following year his son, James Tilley Houghton, Jr., was born. He is now living in Albany. Tilley and his first wife were later divorced and in 1929 he married Caroline H. Prichitt. Upon his return from Central America, Tilley resumed private practice and during the last years of his life had an important position with and did responsible work for the Travelers Insurance Company. A situation can hardly be conceived in which death, in the midst of a desirable life, would seem to be more unwelcome, and yet, with the fortitude which bore him through the perils of war and pestilence, he was able to submit with resignation. Of all the brave things he did, the bravest was at the end. He was told by those dear to him that he had Undulant Fever instead of the deadly streptococcus in the blood stream. With his excellent knowledge of medicine, Tilley surely knew the truth. Yet never once did he let down, nor let his loved ones know that he knew, but he laughed and played the game all through his suffering. As he had lived and borne the great responsibilities of life with courage and fidelity, so he died. His death was heroic, firm, consistent. We, who were his friends, only ask of kindly Nature that time and fading sense may never take from us, while we live, the rich memory of such a man with whom we went so little way and yet so pleasantly.

BiographyNotes for Charles Cassort Sackett:

Charles C. Sackett, Canandaigua, was born in Canandaigua January 17, 1859, a son of Frederick A. Sackett, a farmer of this town. The grandfathers, both paternal and maternal, were natives of Connecticut.
