BiographyHe was a carpenter, boat builder, and a fishing guide. His wife had a store, bakery, and ice cream parlor. He built a number of houses in the village of Newboro.

Derl Houghton:
* Dan was a big man. He was noted for his good sense of humor, but his good wife had none. Dan built houses around Newboro, one was Ben Bells. Up street Hannah ran a store, bakery and ice cream parlor. Dan bought the point in Newboro where the Pritchards now have their cottages. He owned from the stucco cottage all the way around the point including Kingsberrys. In 1920 Dan at the age of 60 built their home on this point and called it " The Green Shingle", because of its exterior facing. ON this site had been a tavern that had burned down. When Dan dug the foundation, he found a bin of barley, the main ingredient for making booze, that had been buried there at the time of the fire. The house was spooky, and gossips said it was due to the spirits of the people who frequented the tavern. Dan was a carpenter, a boat builder and fishing guide.
* Houghton's Island. Houghton's Island is in Newboro Lake on the Rideau Chain. Dan Houghton bought the island for 200 dollars. The original cabin that Dan built was about in the center of the island , but it burned down many years ago. At one time Dan and Hannah would move out of the Green Shingle on the mainland and rent this house for the summer while they lived on the island. The family could pick enough berries on this island that they had plenty for the whole winter and Hannah also would use berries for the pies she made to sell in her shop, and some berries were used in the ice cream too. Dan would cut enough trees on the island to supply their wood needs every winter. Dan's son George always used the island to live on in the summer when he came from New York. George built the second cabin. George's grandson, Jeanne Jordon now has that cabin. George's granddaughter Sheila and her husband built a cedar sided cottage on the opposite side of the island (the east). This is called The Narrows. The puff balls used to grow in this area. Heather and her husband built a pine sided cottage. Heather's son Jim built one near his mom and dad's. Heathers son Dan built a beautiful log cabin in the trees. Originally the island was for the use of any Houghton, but that was a long time ago and would not be recognized as such today. Bell's son Clarence (Kerney) French, when he was a young man he thought he could raise white ducks and a special breed of bull frogs on Houghton's island. He spent a lot of time trying to vermin proof and building fenced- in pens. But he couldn't keep out the black snakes and snapping turtles. He finally had to admit defeat and gave it up for a lost cause.

*Notes for HANNAH FELICIA KILLENBECK: Hannah's Grandfather lived near Landsdowne Ont. When Hannah was a teenager her home was at Marble Rock in that same district. Killenbeck Lake was named after the early settler George Killenbeck. this would be Hannah Houghton's Grandfather. In the late 1800's some of the Killenbecks moved to Beach Corners near Plevna Ont. Hannah's father Charles lived here,also some brothers and sisters. Hannah was a no nonsense lady. Her husband Dan was not allowed to smoke in the house. This was sixty years before the current no smoking in the house rules. Dan would walk up the hill to Laura's, his daughter-in-law and smoke there and tell stories. Gramma would get very angry at their laughing and accused them both of being crazy. Hannah had a uncle who would visit her in Newboro, he was from Holland. He was in the Import Export business and dealt in diamonds and precious stones. After the second world war nothing was heard of him again. Hannah was of Dutch decent. Hannah was a tailoress and a magnificent seamstress. When her son Win was 12 years old he and his brother George caught fish and sold them all summer to be shipped to Montreal. With their earnings they bought their mother a new sewing machine and lengths of cloth, one for a suit and one for a dress. Hannah called William Spicer , Uncle Bill. He was the spicer who owned the factory in Newboro and married Jennie and then Mercy Stevens. The relationship couldn't be confirmed but it is thought that Williams sister, Mellissa, married Dan Kelsey who may have been Hannah's mother's brother, or the connection is through Bill's brother Joel who married Mary Killenbeck. Hannah died of sromach cancer but through her illness she never complained.

In 1794 Abel Stevens brought families from Vermont to Leeds County. His grandson, Abel Neri Stevens and his wife Precilla Derbyshire had a daughter, Mercy Stevens, born July 9, 1857, she married Frank Fifeld and then married William Spicer.2
