BiographyJWH: "His father died when he was fifteen years of age, and he moved with his mother to Bath Beach, where he entered the store of Stillman Wright as a clerk. Upon the death of his grandfather he entered Academy at Barre, Vt., in 1873, and resumed his studies, which had been interrupted by the death of his father. J.L. Spaulding was the principal of this school and he graduated in 1875, and entered the freshman class at Dartmouth college. He concluded during the sophomore year to study medicine with his uncle, Dr. William Swift of Brooklyn, N.Y. He graduated from the College of Physicians and Surgeions of New York City, March 12, 1880, and served in Chambers St. Hospital under Dr. William P. Bull. In the spring of 1882 he accepted the position of assistant surgeon to the Milwaukee, Lake Shore and Western R.R. and remained with them, having charge of the construction department till 1884. He married in 1882. In 1888 he returned to New York after having spent four years in Milwaukee, Chicago and Cincinnati, introducing the pneumatic cabinet to the medical profession. He located at Seymour, Conn, 1890, and resumed the practice of medicine but sold his practice in 1893, owing to the industrial depression. In April, 1893, he was appointed as an expert by Carroll D. Wright to make a bacteriological examination of the slums of New York and Philadelphia. His report was published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1894. In April, 1895, he was appointed medical examiner to the Municipal Civil Service of New York City, which position he occupied until his death. Among his classmates at the College of Physicians and Surgeons were Professors Starr and Tuttle; Drs. Murray, McCosh, Hartley, Kimball and Campbell of New York, and Prof. Paul Eve of Nashville, Tenn. Dr. Alfred has rendered invaluable assistance in the preparation of these genealogical pages."

DARDAR: #47397 for ancestory Edward Houghton; from DAR records, that Mary Emelia Houghton qualified herself as a descendant of 3 men named Bellows, 1 each named Brown, Carpenter, Chase, Harvey, Houghton, Hutchins, Reed, Smith, Stebbins, Stowell, and Swift, and 2 named Wisner, for a total of 16!21
NoteLetter of George Gross to CJV: "Your second reply message, with its attached narrative of the Abel Houghton Descendancy, is what fulfilled, very nicely, our need for a link between Abel Houghton and his father, James Houghton, and it did much more in supporting all the early history back to Edward Houghton in a way that is quite satisfying to the DAR genealogists, because it linked a known DAR lineage to that of our applicant. In your "further research", you gave a detailed description of Mary Emelia Houghton (5600), who is, in fact, DAR member No. 47397 under that name, and who married Worthington Smith Telford and died in 1950. As shown in Abel's narrative, her lineage traces back to Abel Houghton through his son (2nd child), George Frederick Houghton (4592), while our applicant's lineage traces back through her grandmother, Mary Sawyer Stubbs (70621) and, subsequently, through Emilia Stebbins Houghton (4591), the daughter (1st child) of Abel Houghton. With Abel as a shared ancestor, our applicant then shares with Mary Emelia Houghton (DAR 47379) the lineage, proofs, and War service of Edward Houghton (3936). And, so "we rest our case". You might be interested to know, from DAR records, that Mary Emelia Houghton qualified herself as a descendant of 3 men named Bellows, 1 each named Brown, Carpenter, Chase, Harvey, Houghton, Hutchins, Reed, Smith, Stebbins, Stowell, and Swift, and 2 named Wisner, for a total of 16! This is by far the most that we have ever seen. For each, the record usually includes the full name, the child of descent and spouse, the location, description, and documentation of the service, and the dates and places of birth and death for the Patriot.
In closing, we want to thank you very much and express our admiration and amazement at your dedication to the tremendous effort you have made to record the Houghton family in such detail. Sincerely, George and Jane Gross
