BiographyDavid Baker: In the Census’s of 1820 through 1850 a William Houghton is enumerated in Chazy, Clinton Co., New York. His age in 1850 is 65 and place of birth is Canada which is consistent with his being the son of Nahum. Even more circumstantially consistent is the mention in his will, written in 1827, of the pew he shares in Church with David Vantine, who had married his sister Polly Houghton in 1817. In the Will he names one minor child, William H. Most of his estate, however, is left to his wife, Anne and to her son, Zebulon Pike Montgomery Luther. Of interest is that at the time of the will he was being tried for murder and so perhaps feared he may be executed. However, he had a renowned defense team and it is recorded that he was acquitted in what at the time was a famous trial.7
