ResearchJames Didrickson: She married, first, a Streeter. Their residence was possibly in Sutton, Vermont. Truman B. Streeter was possibly her son. I don't know if she had other children. Lemuel Houghton and Truman B Streeter were both heads of family in Sutton in 1830. And both men and their families wound up at some time in Jay, New York.2
