Biography

JWH: "When about 21 years old he went to Batavia, NY, and engaged in school teaching. Returning home about a year later, he persuaded his brother, Asa, to return to Batavia with him, and he also taught school awhile, when the brothers bought a tract of partially improved land and began farming in company. This work not proving to Nehemiah's taste, he sold his interest to his brother and later went to Avon Springs, a noted watering place, and built and carried on a large hotel and boarding house in which he continued until his death. He was a man of intelligence, integrity, very genteel in manner, but with a dignity and reserve that very few were able to penetrate, notwithstanding he was kind and sympathetic when occasion seemed to justify."⁶

JWH: "He d. 5,24,1872, the first death in a family of eleven children. It was said by Dr. Cyrus Washburn of Vernon, who had married 453 couples, that they were the handsomest he had ever married. He bought a farm in Canaan, about 1828, where he was elected Major of a regiment of militia. Later he returned to Vernon, built on the west side of his father's farm in 1832, where he spent the remainder of his days. His wife, who was living with one of her children at the time, died in Worcester, Mass., and was buried at Vernon, Vt."

Biography

JWH: "They began their married life working his father's farm in Vernon. In 1830 he came to Dalton, Wayne Co., O., and the following year bought a lot with a house partly inclosed for $135, which he completed, and in which he continued to reside until his death in 1889. He began as a carriage maker, and later went into the the manufacture of stone ware, and still later bought a few acres of land and went to farming on a small scale which he continued the remainder of his active life. He was quiet, reserved, industrious and of unblemished Christian character."

Founded "pot shop" as he called it, according to Georgia Helen Freet, his great granddaughter.

The Canton Daily News, Canton OH, June 19, 1927 article [V.I. Morgan, Houghton Genealogy, p. 580-589]: "Same Family Owns Oldest Pottery, History of Baking Clay Clings to Houghton Clan for the Past Four Generations...- by Maud M. Howells: "...there came to Dalton, a little village on the border line between Stark and Wayne counties, young Curtis Houghton, who had been a potter by trade in his native state of Vermont. He had lived near the famous Bennington potteries and had learned the art of fashoning many quaint utensils from clay. The older settlers of Dalton told him of the rich clay deposits which the Indians had used to fashion their jars and pipes. He dug into the earth and with the first clay he found he made with his hand an earthenware jar. He did not bake it in the sun as the Indians did but piled up bricks into a kiln, built a fire in it and baked his pottery. That early pottery has been in operation ever since 1842 and it has been operated by a son or grandson of the pioneer potter."^4,16

Biography

JWH: "A sketch of the life of John Stebbins says that he was the fourth and youngest child of Eliakim and Rebecca (Hawks) Stebbins; the eighth generation descent from Rowland Stebbins. He was born 1,15, 1794. His educational advantages were limited to the ordinary common school, but he was an apt scholar and considering his opportunities made remarkable progess. He began teaching school at seventeen years of age and engaged in farming and working at the carpenter trade in the intervals. In 1815 he began traveling from place to place working at his trade, and continued eleven years, during which time he traveled 15,000 miles by land and 5,000 by water, 1,800 of it with a pack on his back, on foot and alone, through New York, a portion of Canada, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, Tennessee, Arkansas, mississippi, Louisiana, New Jersey, Connecticut and New Hampshire, in paths and trails by marked trees, through swamps half leg deep in mud and water, not a bush or tree cut, miles between houses, sometimes sleeping at night on the floor with blankets or skins of wild beasts for covering, a stick of wood or a knapsack for pillow and for reward learned much of the geography of the country, the character of its cities and the customs of the people. Soon after his marriage in 1825 he bought a farm in Vernon Vt, on which he spent the remainder of his life. He was very methodical in his habits, prudent, economical, industrious, independent, self reliant and scrupulously honest. He was a great student of theological questions, in the discussion of which he never tired. His opinions in that day were considered unorthodox if not heretical, but now in some modified form, perhaps, are held by large numbers in orthodox churches. He held various public offices in Vernon and was several times State Representative in the Legislature. He died 8,12,1875"; Barber: son of Eliakim Stebbins and Rebecca Hawkes; Nims Family: a farmer and antiquarian who was a Republican in politics and a Universalist in religion^13,6,2
