Dear Sir
On looking thru the files of the "N.E. hist. & Genl. Register", I find it stated that in 1906 you were engaged in the preparation of a "Genealogy of John Houghton of Lancaster, Mass", and I write to ask whether you have published your findings.
I am a descendant of John Houghton, in two lines, as well as of Ralph Houghton, and have spent much time in endeavoring to straighten out the tangle in the grossly inaccurate records published by John Wesley Houghton, some years ago. I shall be very pleased to hear from you.
Yours, very truly,
W. G. Snow."

Obituary

Oct 17, 2018

BOW – Barbara Louise Kirby Houghton, 88, and a longtime resident of Bow for 68 years, died Friday, October 12, at the Epsom Healthcare Center after a period of declining health.
She was born in Medford, Mass., the daughter of James and Laura Kirby. She moved to Concord with her family at an early age, and attended Concord schools, graduating from Concord High School Class of 1949.
Barbara married Ralph Houghton in 1950 and they shared a wonderful life together, until Ralph's death in 2007. They traveled to many places in the world, and visited almost all 50 states in the United States.
Barbara was an excellent homemaker and a wonderful cook, and many of her recipes will live on through her daughter, daughter-in-law, great granddaughter and friends.
Barbara was a person of great faith and was looking forward to the day she would be with her Lord and Savior, and reunited with Ralph and other family members. "Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever."
She is survived by her two children; daughter Kathy Houghton and partner Harry "Butch" Burgess of Meredith, son Larry Houghton and wife Darlene of Bow, one grandson; Michael Brochu and wife Melissa, and two great-grandchildren; David Brochu and Madison Brochu, all of Alsip, Illinois; and her sister-in-law, Priscilla Chickering of Greenville, S.C.
She was predeceased by her loving husband Ralph of 57 years; her parents; and brothers William Kirby and Edwin Kirby.
There will be no calling hours. Funeral services will be held Friday, October 19, at 11 a.m. at Bennett Funeral Home, 209 N. State St., Concord N.H. Burial will follow at Evans Cemetery, White Rock Hill Road, Bow.
We would like to thank the Epsom Healthcare Center for the wonderful care that was provided by all of the staff.
In lieu of flowers, a memorial donation can be made in her honor at your local SPCA or to CRVNA Hospice, 30 Pillsbury St., Concord, N.H., 03303.
Arrangements are entrusted to the Bennett Funeral Home of Concord, N.H. Messages of condolence may be offered at bennettfuneral.com. Published in The Concord Monitor on Oct. 17, 2018

Research

The information on my Houghton/Smith connection orginally came through Inez Atkins of Williamsburg, OH who was a DAR member. I have a quit claim deed for Joab Smith, the Rev. War pension testimony for Absolom Smith but no official document showing Absolom to be the son of John and Anne Houghton Smith. Inez, who has since passed away, gave me all the names and dates of John and Anne's children - said it was recorded in a Smith family bible that had since been lost. She gave the information that Anne Houghton Smith had a brother, Col. Joab Houghton and another brother (no name) who was hung as a Tory spy. No info. on that brother. I have never consulted with the DAR about any papers Inez may have filed with them. I would imagine she did that in the 1960's or so.¹
