JWH: gives bd 1787 and dd of 1851; Later brother of same name; same dd; Peter and Mercy Houghton had two sons named John, one born 17 Aug 1787 and one born 11 Aug 1789, both born Harvard. These are given in Harvard Vital Records, the latter p. 63 (http://ma-vitalrecords.org/MA/Worcester/Harvard/BirthsH.shtml). Both are listed as only John Houghton. I believe that the first died, and that the second is our John W. Houghton, making the second birthdate the correct one.

Biography

JHW: 'His father was a farmer in moderate circumstances; he had robust health and a limited education. At the age of sixteen he made his first visit to Boston and in the afterrnoon of the same day walked to Lynn. Two of his sisters had already found homes in Lynn and he came to join his older brother, who was learning the shoemaker's trade of his brother-in-law, Harris Chadwell. The town even then led all others in the shoe business but no one dreamed of the revolution soon to be wrought in every department by the introduction of machinery. After the War of 1812, he spent two years in Baltimore in a shoe factory and returned to Lynn in 1818. For sixty years he was closely identified with the growth and prosperity of the place. He passed through the financial crisis of 1837 without losses. In 1842 he was chosen representative to the General Court; for several years one of the overseers of the poor; commissioner of streets for 1847 and continued to serve the public in various honorable positions until approaching age rendered such labors distasteful to him.⁴'
