AlertCJV: The Problem of the Jameses: J. W. Houghton, p. 304-5:
NOTE: The frequent use of the same Christian name in families nearly related and in successive generations has made it very difficult to determine the place of the individual in the family tree. Mrs. Chas. H. Knapp has undertaken to solve some difficulties regarding the James Houghtons of the early generations of our family and for the sake of a better understanding we give the results of her research.
"After a search of all the available probate records and deeds likely to bear on the question and after studying printed records, I have concluded that James Houghton, Jr., whose wife was Mary, parents of Nathaniel Houghton, was not the son of a James Houghton. It appears to me that James Houghton, the son of James Houghton, and grandson of Ralph Houghton, was known as James Houghton, Sr. The latter had a son, James, husband of Mary. James, son of Ralph, died in 1711. A pedigree published by a descendant of Edward, the son of James and Sarah, who was born in Lancaster Houghton, son of Ralph, was born in 1661 and died 1711. His son, James, was born in 1690 and I think was known as James Houghton after about 1720, when James Houghton, who married Mary,lived in the same town.
"Assuming that James Houghton, Jr., was the son of Jonas and not of James, son of Ralph, a second cousin, James Houghton, Sr., his contemporary, who married Sarah, falls into place all right. The difficulty is to explain why a man was known as junior when his father had not the same name, while the James, son of James was known as senior, if designated at all. Some deeds corroborate this theory. James Houghton, Sr., Edward Houghton and Ephraim, all of Lancaster, deeded their rights in lands of Ralph Houghton, either their brother or father, to Jonas Houghton of Lancaster (35 acres on the right of Ralph Houghton, 5 acres on the right of Ephraim, and 9 3/4 on the right of Edward Houghton, a total of 49 3/4 acres). The grantors were three sons of James, son of Ralph.
" The deed was dated March 11, 1724-5, and sworn to before John Houghton, probably a brother of Jonas.
" The next deed recorded, eight years after the other, is also to Jonas Houghton from James Houghton, who is described in the deed as having a wife, Mary, and being the brother of the grantee, Jonas.
" Now the son of James Houghton (II) had no son Jonas that I can discover. The list of his children seems to be complete,while Jonas had a son Jonas and James; in other words, the only James and Jonas Houghton in Lancaster May 18,1729, the date of that deed, were the sons of Jonas Houghton, son of John Houghton (I). Yet this very James Houghton had a wife, Mary, and was called junior in that deed. The proof seems complete. It may be added that the children of James and Sarah were recorded altogether, while the children of James, Jr., and Mary were recorded one by one.
" The tax list of 1723 shows Jacob, Jacob, Jr., Jonas and Jonas, Jr., James, Jr., all living in 1723 at Bolton, while the Ralph Houghton family was represented by Edward, Ephraim, Thomas and John. Out of sixty taxpayers in the town of Lancaster that year, twelve were Houghtons."

BiographyShe did research on the early James Houghtons, quoted by both JWH and MLM: " Mrs. Charles H. Knapp undertook to solve some of the difficulties regarding the James Houghtons of early Lancaster, Massachusetts, after all available deeds and probate records likely to bear upon the question, and after studying the printed records, said "I have concluded that James Houghton, Jr., whose wife was Mary, parents of Nathaniel Houghton, was not the son of James Houghton. it appears that James Houghton, Jr., son of James, and grandson of Ralph Houghton, was known as James Houghton, senior, older than the other James Houghton, Jr., whose wife was Mary. James Houghton, Sr., had a son, James, husband of Mary. James, son of Ralph1 died in 1711, was born in Lancaster, and a pedigree published by a descenant, Edward, son of James and Sarah Houghton, who was born in Lancaster in 1730, gives the father as James 2.29 v. IV American Ancestry). According to this pedigree, James Houghton, son of Ralph, was born 1661 and died in 1710?. His son, James, was born ca. 1721, when James (md. Mary) lived in the same town. Assuming that james Houghton, Jr., was a son of Jonas Houghton, not of James, son of Ralph, a second cousin, James Houghton, Sr., his contemporary who md. Sarah, falls into place alright. The difficulty is to explain why a man was known as Junior when his father hadn't the same name, while James, son of the James known as Sr., if designated at all. (Note: it was not until a generation or so later that the term, "Jr., " was given to a son of a father by the same name - previously the title only showed which of the two men was the older. A third was termed "Tertius," or third, the fourth, Quartus. Or the third man was called James "Center" Houghton, showing that his residence was on center brook. M. McC.)
Some deeds corroborate this theory: James Houghton, Sr., Ephraim, and Edward, all of Lancaster, deeded their rights in the land of Ralph Houghton, either their brother or their father, to Jonas Houghton of Lancaster (thirty-five acres or the right of Ralph Houghton and nine and three quarters acres on the right of Edward Houghton, a total of thirty five acres. Grantors: three sons of James Houghton son of Ralph Houghton, deed dated March 11, 1724, and sworn to before John Houghton.
Next, a deed recorded eight years later, also to Jonas Houghton, from James Houghton, wife, mary, being a brother of the Grantee, Jonas.
How the son of James Houghton #11 had no son, Jonas, that i can discover. The list of children seems to be complete. While Jonas had a son, James. In other words, the only James and Jonas in Lancaster May 18, 1729 were sons of Jonas, son of John Houghton. this James, too, had a wife named Mary, and was called "junior" in the deed. The proof seems complete. It May be added that the children of James and Sarah were recorded together - the children of James, Jr., and mary Houghton, one by one."6,7
