Capt. John Houghton1,2,3

ResearchOnly JWH gives this son to Benjamin and Ruth Houghton; it is unlikely
A Contributor to Houghton Surname Project?
BirthOct 14, 1745Sterling, MA, USA, Keene NH VRs: circa Oct. 1746; M. Cole: not Sterling, MA. Sterling wasn't founded until 1781. Before then it was an area known as "Chocksett" and was still a part of Lancaster.5,6
Research1776Hx of Keene NH gives John Houghton, son of Israel as Capt. John Houghton of Revol. War; JHW gives John, son of Benjamin7
ProblemNote same bd and dd; but note that John son of Israel is the one born in Lancester, 1745 per VRs. Note: There are two Capt. John Houghtons: this one and one Born to Benjamin Houghton Jr. and Ruth Wheelock. Both have same birthdays. This John is the one born in Lancaster MA.
M. Cole: The Houghton Genealogy, provides a different narrative for Captain John Houghton, but this conflicts with the records in Lancaster, MA and Keene, NH. It's clear from the land records that John Houghton of Keene, was the son of Israel Houghton. (Israel deeded land in Keene to him as his son in 1769), and the probate record names Relief as his widow. The birth records for Keene show births for John and Relief from 1774 to 1796. The marriage to Mary Allen and the various children attributed to John in the Houghton Genealogy need additional research to correctly place them. According to the Houghton Genealogy, he was only married to Mary Allen. Besides F. Weis, only JWH gives this marriage.
JWH gives no place data for the children of John, son of Israel.
The children of John of Keene are in the Keene VRs.
