The
following biography of Daniel Hough is excerpted from The Granite Monthly New Hampshire Magazine, Vol II (John N. McClintock;
Concord, N.H: Republican Press Association; 1889; pg. 110): “Daniel Hough, the second son of Captain David Hough, was
born in Bozrah, Conn., January 23, 1752, and came to Lebanon, N. H., some
time before the Revolutionary war. December 12, 1780, he married Lydia
Edgerton, of Norwich, Conn., a sister of Lebbeus Edgerton,
lieutenant-governor of Vermont about 1833. Mr. Hough purchased land in what is called
the town-farm district, situated on the south side of the road which runs
westerly by the old buryingground and Dea. Cole’s residence, and his house
was next, and a little higher up on "Daisy hill," and is the same
now owned by Pliny E. Davis. His first
house, however, was near that of Sluman Lathrop, the father of George H.
Lathrop. They lived neighbors in great
harmony for many years. The two
families were so intimate that at one time, having children about the same
age, the two mothers often relieved each other, one nursing both children
while the other was absent from necessity or for pleasure. It was kind and neighborly, beside being a
great convenience, and perhaps worthy of imitation in similar cases. It appears that the change of food was
favorable to longevity, for the two babies, who nursed together then, are now
Major George H. Lathrop, now living in our village, and Lydia Hough, the
widow of Dea. Abner Allen, still living in Beloit, Wisconsin. Mr. Hough was industrious and skilful in the management of his business, and exercised good judgment in improving his farm. His wife possessed more dignity and independence of character than her husband. Decision was in her walk, and her address was graceful and queen-like. The writer can never forget her selfpossession and ease of manner as she walked into church and passed to her accustomed seat on Sundays. Mr. Hough was more unassuming in manner. They lived together, prospering, and enjoying their home and family, until the old gentleman died, September 11, 1820, aged 68 years and 8 months. His wife lived in the family of her son Clark until March 12, 1846, when she died at the age of 84 years.” The
