Marriage

May 1, 2009

My maternal grandmother was Audrey Houghton, daughter of Harvey Houghton, who came from the line of Ralph Houghton. My Mother, Helen Bircham Clark passed away this February. She told me that the extended family moved from Lewiston (Montmorency county) to Lansing (Ingham County) Michigan for better work when she was a small child (Mother was born in 1914). That included Rua and her family, Audrey her husband Clyde Bircham and my mother Helen, her brother Thomas and Genieve, who was called Jean. Jean married George R. Ellsworth. She died at age 50 (according to a newspaper obituary).She and George had a son names Gary M.Ellsworth. (Accordng to an obituary) Rua taught school in the Lewiston areas and married a Clyde J. Klotz to whom she was married for nearly 42 years. She and Klotz lived in Lansing for 38 years. They had a daughter named Dorothy who married John Ames and had one child, John Jr.. Given the information about Rua's marriage duration, the family move to Lansing was probably around 1924.The extended family move also included Harvey Houghton and his wife Genieve Stansboro and Genieve's Mother. At least some of the men in the family had been involved in the lumber industry in the areas near and in Montmorency county. My grandmother had told my Mother that Douglas Houghton was a relative, but looking at your family lines, it must have been a link over 6 generations back. It looks as if there was a pattern of naming children after grandparents, so my guess is that a common ancestor in England would be a John Houghton.What evidence do you have that Ralph and John Houghton do NOT have a common ancestor? Given their location in the same area in MA, it seems plausible that they could have been cousins. Any suggestion on how to pursue the English links? Any indication of where in England they came from?
Thanks for the incredible work that you are doing onthe Houghton line.¹
