ResearchTerrence Fowler, [email protected], 2018: We actually always were under the impression that she was a Native American (which is what I am researching) It may just be a coincidence that she was given the houghton name. My side of the family has always said that Alice Fox (her daughter) was Native American. Recently through this genealogy project, I have found another tree of relatives who we had not know about that also have been told Alice was Native American. My best guess would be she was actually half by blood and maybe Johanna was adopted.

BiographyAmos Fox, who was a native of Connecticut, settled in Wilmington at an early day and built, on road 59, the first frame house in the town, thus marking an important era in its history, where the harsh environments of pioneer life began to give place to the more commodious projections of thrift, skill and intelligence. Of his eleven children, Moses D. married Harriet Lowden and reared eight children, one of whom, Morris K., married Joanna E. Houghton, and resides on road 38.
