BaptismMar 30, 1766Lancaster, Worcester Co., MA, USA, "30. Child of Saul Houghton, Eunice"4,3,5,6
ResearchMarina Cole: I think that she is likely the Eunice Houghton who married Timothy Kendall.   Eunice's guardian Jonathan Knight was a first cousin once removed to Timothy Kendall.  Jonathan removed to Cheshire Co, NH in the 1790's.  Also, Saul's daughter was baptized in 1766, which doesn't match the age at death.  It could be a delayed baptism of course.  Ephraim's will was also witnessed by a Kendall.
