In my copy of the Martha, The Complete Furnace Diary by Colesar and Bisbee on page 95 in the name index there are two Hough's listed. "Anthony Hough- lived in Springfield Twp. 1814 July 20" (this date is the diary entry) The entry says this (p. 80), July 14, 1814. " Anthony and Johnathan Hough & C. Earl arrived here this Morning, on their way to Tuckerton. Mr. Evans went with them. All hands at their usual business. All is going well." "Jonathan Hough- Served as Collector for Springfield Twp. 1816-21. Will and Inv. 1829. 1814, July 20." (Diary entry date. Entry posted above.) Hope this is of some help. It is the only mention of them in the diary. That is interesting that the Martha Furnace was also called Oswego Land. There was an Indian Settlement a bit north called Sim Place, near Warren Grove. This area was settled by a small band of Lenape Indians. They were referred to as the Oswego Indians because of their close proximity to the Oswego River. "These people produced charcoal and cedar for Martha and Stafford Forges and Furnaces." Source. Article. SIM PLACE - Named After Chief Sim. by the late Jack Cervetto.

In the late 1700's, Brothers, Jonathan HOUGH, Samuel HOUGH, William HOUGH and Daniel HOUGH and sisters, Letitia BUDD, Jane and Mary HOUGH, as well as Elizabeth HOUGH, Dtr. of Samuel HOUGH, were listed in Deeds. (These HOUGH's were l also listed as early Pennsylvania Pioneers.) Thanks for any help. Jean Corio Tampa, Fl
