My line from Joseph HOULTON & Sarah INGERSOLL is Benjamin HOULTON (sr.) (1657/8-1689) m Sarah HOLTON (parents??) Benjamin HOULTON (jr.) (1689/90-1745) m. Lydia LEACH (1689/90-bef.1736) Ruth HOULTON (1712/3-1794) m. Abraham GOODALE (jr.) (1712-1794) - I have both Ruth & Abraham d. 4 Apr 1794 ... don't know if they died tog. or 1 is a mistake! Interestingly enough, both the daughter (Eunice GOODALE) & granddaughter (Ruth GOODALE) of Abraham GOODALE, jr. & Ruth HOULTON married into the FULLER family: Eunice GOODALE (1755-1836) m. Timothy FULLER (jr.) (1753-1837) Ruth GOODALE (d/o Eleazer GOODALE & Sarah SWINERTON) m Daniel FULLER (1789-1860), her 1st cous. The reason I say this is interesting context of your email is that Timothy FULLER (jr.) who m. Eunice GOODALE was the grandson of Thomas FULLER (1671-1753) & Elizabeth BUXTON (bap 1670) --- Elizabeth BUXTON was the daughter of John BUXTON (c.1643-1715) & his first wife, Mary SMALL (d. 1675/6); I believe this is "your" John BUXTON who m. (2) 7 Oct 1677 to Elizabeth HOULTON (d/o Joseph HOULTON & Sarah INGERSOLL :) I guess that makes us doubly distant cousins :) Dori ----Original Message----- From: Deb_Piper <[email protected]> To: Steven P.
