"Joseph HOUGHTON served in Capt. Cross' Company, Col. Martindale's Regt. Detached Militia in U.S. service 2 months and 13 days, 1812." "State of Vermont ROSTER of SOLDIERS in the WAR of 1812-14", prepared and published under the direction of Herbert T. Johnson, The Adjutant General, 1933, page 226. Sorry, I do not know if this is the Joseph Houghton on whom you are seeking data. It does not list his town of residence. Soldiers were from 16 to 60 years old. Happy searching, Jan Jordan <<Joseph Houghton may have fought with Genl Stark. He was in Pownal, Vt in 1790, may have married Martha Snow. Jane JWoodw6761@aol.com>>
