EmailJun 15, 2016Sarah: I'm trying to get one of my male relatives to test on the Y-chromosome - although our line there should ultimately go back through the Lawton/Laughton line to England. In fact, people on that family tree probably knew the Houghtons in Lancaster, Massachusetts, as the Laughtons lived there, and I think my ancestor Thomas Wilder even married a Houghton - though my family (Laughton, Ballard, Wilder) was descended, I think, from his first wife, Mary Wheeler Wilder, not from Mary Houghton Wilder. The Laughtons, however, stayed in the area and settled in the Atho Massachusetts area, where my father was raised. But you are right that my known Houghton connection is through my maternal line--my maternal great-grandmother was born a Houghton. Anyway, I suppose I joined simply to hear news of the Houghtons. I have some of the stories and research done by my great-great-aunt Edna Houghton, and find the family's story interesting. Please let me know if you think I should drop out since I obviously won't be adding anything to the Y-chromosome story.
