To whom it may concern;
I ran across a webpage when researching the background of the last name Houghton. I dont know if you are still doing this but please let me know if you are because I may have some interesting information.
A few years ago, I bought an Ancestry DNA kit for my son. Naturally I helped him fill in as many blanks as I could. When we approached the civil war times I saw something odd...my great, great grandfather had a brother with the same name! Long story short, the US Census soon revealed that he was only 1 yr old when the war ended and his father Mr. Houghton returned from the war but died soon after returning. Houghton's wife (my gggf's mother) apparently remarried Mr.Whitehead and that same year he adopted my great great grandfather...therefore Charles Houghton became Charles Whitehead! In fact he also adopted at least one other child too. Therefore, many people with the last name Whitehead, carry the dna of the Houghtons ever since then!
If you are still interested I will verify the first name and provide more detailed information, just let me know. Perhaps you have some information about the heritage that you can share with me in return?

Best Wishes,

Steve "Houghton"/ Whitehead
