ResearchFamily tradition is that an illness going through the county killed the parents, and the children went to live with the Randalls. Apparently the two families were very close. By the 1870 census, the Houghton children were no longer living with the Randalls. They are between a bunch of Bennetts and the Randalls. I note that because the Bennetts and Randalls came from Kentucky to Illinois together in 1831, with a bunch of other related families, the Redmans being the only other name I can think of at the moment.3
