Hi all, I don't have much information on my HOUGHTONs, but I will share what I have and see if it sounds familiar to anyone. My gg-grandfather was Joseph Franklin HOUGHTON, born January 1862 and died November 1935. From what I have, he was born in Stewart County, Georgia, and then moved to Columbus, Muscogee County, Georgia, where he is buried with his wife, Lizzie D. McMickle. They were married in 1895 in Stewart County, GA. I have looked through censuses and can't seem to find any record of his early family or parents. Thanks, Tony Arnold _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
Tony, If your Joseph Franklin Houghton died in 1935 there should be a death certificate which most likely will contain his parents names. Then check out Greene County, GA. M.B.

Although many of the HOUGHTON postings appear to be in the USA, I thought I would post my single HOUGHTON reference in case it helps anyone. Sarah HOUGHTON married John COURT in Feckenham, Worcestershire, ENGLAND on 25 August 1754. I have no parents' names for her. If this is a connection for anyone, I have plenty of COURT information back to the marrige of Roger COURT and Ann YEEDS on 30 Jan 1667 at Stoke Prior, Worcestershire, ENGLAND.
