Hi Carol, The Houghton line is connected to the Gaunt line. Emily Frances Johnson (1825, VA -- 1866, Ohio) married William Andrew Gaunt (1822, VA -- 1904, MS). John Henry Gaunt and William Andrew Gaunt are brothers (mentioned in previous e-mail as to an epidemic). Emily's sister, Harriet (1816, VA - 1900, VA) married Benjamin H. Houghton (1807, VA -- 1858, VA). He was the son of (I believe) William Houghton (1783, VA -- between 1850 - 1860, VA) & Hannah Heaton. Mary Ellen Gaunt (1861, VA -- 1932, VA?), daughter of above John Henry Gaunt, married John Richard Benjamin Houghton (1858, VA -- aft 1910, ?), son of Harriet Johnson and Benjamin H. Houghton.
