BiographyHe was a Civil War veteran. While living In Brooklyn, New York about 1860 received a letter from a cousin (uncle ?) in Louisiana. Living in New Orleans, Louisiana. William was married at the time and his occupation was a sailor. This person offered / promised to give William Edger a share in a plantation if he, would be the overseer. It was said he did a good job.His wife Auda Ann had a child they named her Lily Alice. At the outbreak of the Civil War he substituted for his cousin/ uncle ?. He joined the 'Continental Guards' on June 7, 1861 at Tangipahoa, Louisiana. He was 22 years old and recorded as being 5'-8' tall, 130 lbs., having dark brown hair and dark complexion. The Continental Guards became Company A of the 7th Louisiana Infantry at the organization of the Regiment at Camp Moor with 944 men mustered into the regiment. The Colonel of the 7th. Louisiana was Harry T. Hays, who, in 1862 was promoted to the rank of Brigadier General and commanded the Brigade to which the regiment belonged. The remaining company designations were as follows;Company B, The Baton Rouge Fencibles, Company C, The Sarsfield Rangers,Company D, The Virginia Guards, Company E, The Crescent City Rifles, Company F, The Irish Volunteers, Company G, The American Rifles, Company H, The Crescent City Rifles, Company I, The Verginia Blue, and Company K, The Livingston Rifles, Houghton's Company, commanded by Captain George Clark, along with the other Companys of the Regiment were immediately ordered toVirginia armed with a variety of obsolete .69 cal. smoothbore muskets imported from Europe. They camped near Manasses and participated in a skirmish at Blackburn's Ford on July 18th. In the Battle of 1st. Manasses (1st Bull Run) on July 21, 1861 the 7th. Louisiana helped attack and rout the Union Army's right flank, suffering light casualties. One week after 1st.Manassas the 7th. Louisiana along with the 6th. , 8th. and 9th. Louisiana Regiments and Wheat's Tiger Battalion, joined what came to be known as the 1st Louisiana Brigade. Captain Clark commanding Company A resigned on October 28th. and Edwin McFarland became the company's new Captain. In the spring of 1862 the Brigade joined Stonewall Jackson's Army in the Shenandoah Valley and played a major role in it's victories there. At the battle of Winchester, Virginia on May 25th. 1862 Houghton and the 7th.Louisiana participated in the assault by the Brigade which drove the enemy from the field. At the Battle of Port Republic on June 9th. the7th. Louisiana became separated from the Brigade and suffered casualties of near 50%. During the Seven Day's Battles Houghton fought at Gaines' Mill on June 27th and at Malvern Hill on July 1, 1862. After limited action at Cedar Mountain on August 9th. Houghton saw heavy action in the battles of the 2nd. Manasses (2nd Bull Run) Campaign from August 26, to August 30, 1862 and at Chantilly on September 1st. After being present at the capture of Harper's Ferry on September 14th. Houghton and the Regiment fought in the Battle of Sharpsburg (Antietam), Maryland onSeptember 17, 1862, losing 69 men in killing, wounded and missing. One of these casualties was Houghton's Captain, Edwin McFarland, who died of his wounds on September 19th, 1862. The vacant Captain's position in Company A was filled by William P. Thompson. The 7th. Louisiana was not engaged at Fredericksburg on December 13, 1862, but were in reserve near Hamilton's Crossing. While in reserve at the Crossing a Federal charge threatened to breakthrough a hole in A.P. Hill's line, but Early's Division, of which the 7th. was a part came at a double quick to their relief yelling, 'HereComes Old Jubal' ! 'Let Old Jubal Straighten That Fence' !. A desperate encounter followed but the line was held. Houghton became ill with dysenteryand chest congestion and possibly pneumonia in late December and was sent to the hospital in Richmond,Virginia. After spending January and Februaryin Chimborazo Hospital, Houghton recovered and returned to his Regimentin time to skirmish with the Federals on May 2, 3 and 4 in the area around Marye's Heights (Fredericksburg). After skirmishing with the Federals at Winchester on 13,1863 the 7th Louisiana was heavily engaged on June 14th. and captured two cannons in a small redoubt. Houghton's next experience in battle of major proportions was on July 1, 1863 at Gettysburg. Here Houghton and the men of the 7th. were commended by Colonel Davidson B. Penn in Hay's Brigade, Early's Division of R.S. Ewell's 2nd. Army Corps. During the fighting of the 1st. day Ewell'sCorps, entering the battle from the North came upon the flank and rear of the Union 11th Corps. The 7th. Louisiana advanced about 4:00 P.M. upon Barlow's position where an obstinate and bloody contest ensued before the Federal line broke and retreated through the the town. Houghton's Regiment entered the town of Gettysburg about 4:30 P.M. The following day July 2nd. , Houghton and the 7th. Louisiana were involved in a night attack on Cemetery Hill for which they received praise for their conduct. In this attack Houghton's Company lost another commanding officer as captain William P. Thompson was severely wounded and died July 21, 1963. Lawrence Pendergast replaced Thompson as Captain of Company A. On November 2nd. Union troops overran the entrenchments held by Houghton's Brigade at Rappshannock Station and 180 men were captured. Houghton evaded capture by Federals. In April of 1864 was again sick and left in Lynchburg, Virginia, possibly with typhoid fever. Houghton returned to his regiment at the end of August. While sick Houghton missed the battles of The Wilderness, Spotsylvania (The Muleshoe), Cold Harbor and Monocracy, but returned in time to participate in the battles at Winchester, September 19th; Fisher's Hill, September 22nd; and Cedar Creek, October 19th. So reduced in numbers had the regiment become by late November that it was consolidated with the 5th. and 6th. Louisiana Regiments into a single 'company'. Houghton saw duty in the trenches at Petersburg during thewinter of 1864-65 and on March 2, 1865, Houghton was captured at Waynesboro, Virginia and sent to Fort Delaware. His weight at the time was approximately 110 lbs. Houghton was released on June 9, 1865 on the 'Oath of Allegiance'. Houghton carved a pipe while imprisoned at Fort Delaware. (Diane Marie Houghton Osworth is in ownership of it) Of the 944 men who had originally enlisted in the 7th. Louisiana infantry in 1861 only 42 men remained when the Confederate Army surrendered at Appomattox on April 9, 1865. The forgoing information was given to Diane Marie Houghton Osworth and other information came from Edward S. Houghton in his book, The Houghton Genealogy, 1996, limited to family members.2
