I've "rescued" three old photographs belonging to the HOUGHTON Family including, two of Margaret Parker HOUGHTON both taken at studios in Providence, Rhode Island. One is dated 1889 with Margaret likely in her teens or 20's at the time and the other appears to have been taken in the 1880's as well. In the second photograph she is pictured with an unidentified girl. The third photograph is of Howard Marcellus HOUGHTON. There is no studio or location indicated, though the photograph appears to have been taken in the 1870's or 1880's with Howard likely in his 30's at the time. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding this family: Margaret P. HOUGHTON was b. 1873 in NH to parents Marcellus Howard HOUGHTON (b. 1850) and Caroline PARKER (b. 1851). Margaret married Henry W. HOBBS (b. 1872 in MA) in 1901 and together they had 2 children, Elizabeth P. b. 1902 in MA and Caroline b. 1908 in ME. Margaret died in 1930. Marcellus Howard HOUGHTON was b. 12 May 1850 in Lowell, MA to parents Marcellus HOUGHTON (b.21 Sept 1819 in Hallowell, ME-1895) and Catherine Charlotte FOGG (b. 18 Jul 1822 in Thomaston, ME-1891). Marcellus was one of 9 children born to this couple including, Frances Eugene; Josiah; Malvina Amanda; Marcellus Howard; George Edmond; Catherine Alice; Marietta; Herbert Lincoln; and Eugenia G. HOUGHTON, all born between 1842 and 1862 in Middlesex and Worcester Co. MA. Marcellus married Caroline PARKER (b. 1851 in Merrimack, NH) on 22 May 1870 and together they had a daughter Margaret P. HOUGHTON b. 1873. I am hoping to locate someone from the family so that the photographs can be returned to their care. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

Shelley Since I compile the Houghton Surname Project and collect all Houghton pictures available, would it be possible to get a copy of the 3 pictures? I know of only 2 descendants last listed in 1910 census; nothing current. Charlie Charles J. Vella, PhD I am updating John Wesley Houghton's 1912 Houghton Genealogy for future publication. The Houghton Project database currently has 89,992 Houghton/Haughton individuals. If you are a Houghton or a Haughton descendant, please consider contributing your ancestry or descendancy. Any data submitted to the Houghton Project will be cited to the contributor in the final publication and the contributor will be noted on the website.
