Research

JWH gives this Josiah as both son Levi & Cathrine Reed of the John Houghton line and of Ralph line; latter more accurate given birth date is prior to Levi's md of John Houghton line⁵

Research

Only MLM gives this parentage, stating "JWH gave this data under Levi & Charlotte Reed Houghton, but they were md. several y'rs. later. ID.?" [CJV: their md is earlier than his bd]⁹

Problem

JWH: See problem with Josiah Houghton, son of Levi Houghton, on John Houghton side; George Stearns Houghton's children are given in both the Ralph and John lines¹⁶
