"Capt. Jonathan CHASE was born at Swanzey, R. I., in 1778. In early life he went to Pomfret, Conn., where he learned the carpenter's trade. In 1799 he removed to Guilford and worked at his trade here until he enlisted in the army during the war of 1812. He was appointed lieutenant of a company, of cavalry, and was afterwards made captain. When his term of service expired he returned to Guilford and purchased a farm in the western part of the town, where he largely engaged in dairying. He was thrice married, first to Nancy STEWART, and second to Sophia STEWART, both daughters of Colonel Daniel STEWART, of Brattleboro. By these marriages there were seven children born. The third marriage was to Ruth HOUGHTON, daughter of Maj. Edward HOUGHTON. Capt. CHASE died in Guilford, in 1858."

ResearchJWH gives this Josiah as both son Levi & Cathrine Reed of the John Houghton line and of Ralph line; latter more accurate given birth date is prior to Levi's md of John Houghton line5
ResearchOnly MLM gives this parentage, stating "JWH gave this data under Levi & Charlotte Reed Houghton, but they were md. several y'rs. later. ID.?" [CJV: their md is earlier than his bd]9
ProblemJWH: See problem with Josiah Houghton, son of Levi Houghton, on John Houghton side; George Stearns Houghton's children are given in both the Ralph and John lines16
