One of these William's went to Charleston and Jeckyl Island, GA, with Gen. Oglethorpe and founded what is now Savannah, GA. Portions of Houghton's house are still standing on Jeckyl Island. This Houghton is written up in the Georgia History books.

James Edward Oglethorpe and his group of 114 settlers arrived from England on February 12, 1733. They landed in Beaufort, South Carolina, then traveled eighteen miles up the Savannah River to what is now known as the City of Savannah.
