ResearchActualy we need to compare the DNA of John Squire Morgan B 1729 Virgina and Charles Morgan B 28 Aug 1680 Virgina descendents to Hardin Morgan descendents.
also as a check compare the DNA of Lee Noah Morgan descendents. to Hardin Morgan descendents
The line that i send is correct thru hardin Morgan. It can be verifty thru Us census and personal knowledge of N D Morgan.
i also belief that Social Security Death records would show other deseaced N D Morgan family members if the census shows Perry having abt 15 kids that line doesn't show but 10. I can't verifty that line is correct- i think more research on that line is needed I find it amazing that after all these years that other people research can tie hardin Morgan to Sir William Morgan- Elizabeth Winter but researchers can't say for sure what Morgan line Edward Morgan is from. Are you researching the Ancestors and Descendents of jackson Edward White son of Burgess White - Elizabeth Knight ? The only Knight that Find a Grave has for the old Bluffton cementry is Daniel Knight I could not find Jethrow White son of Burgess White in any census. From the Book: N C Rev. Soldiers Sailors Patriots & descendents Vol. 1 is the following :
John Morgan Sr 1737- 1827
John Morgan Jr 1753-1830 m Mary Hall

----Houghton, Charles F. (27 Aug. 1851 – 14 Dec. 1934)

Charles F. Houghton passed away about 10:15 Friday evening, Dec. 14, 1934, aged 83 years, 3months and 17 days.

Mr. Houghton was born Aug. 27, 1851, in Allegany County, New York. In 1854 he came with his parent to Lake Geneva vicinity, in Illinois. In the year 1856, the Houghton families, four in number, migrated from northern Illinois, and settled on homestead land in Houghtonburg, Sidney Houghton, wife, and son, Charles, taking up the land which is now the E. W. Grush farm, where the subject of this sketch lived for all, excepting ten years of his long life. He lived in Humbird for ten years, and on July 3, 1932, he returned to the old home farm, where he has been cared for by Mr. and Mrs. Grush until the time of his death.

Mr. Houghton was united in marriage, at Sparta, to Miss Alice May Walker, on July 4, 1876. She preceded him in death after twenty years of happy married life, on Jan. 1, 1896. No children were born to this union and Mr. Houghton never remarried, turning his affection the little ones and young people with whom he came in contact.

Farming was his life occupation, which he followed until advancing years made it necessary for him to rent the farm, and it was eventually sold, Mr. Grush being the purchaser about twenty years ago. He attended high school at Black River Falls in his youth, and was a graduate of Gale College of Galesville. In the early ‘70s he was a clerk in the store of E. A. Freeman in this village. He was an active member of the old Odd Fellow lodge, which existed in Humbird many years ago.

The funeral services were held at the Grush home Sunday afternoon at 2:00 o’clock, Dec. 16th, 1934, and burial was in the family lot in Houghtonburg Cemetery. Rev. V. D. Weidler officiated. Pallbearers were old neighbors, and the large number of flowers testified to the esteem this pioneer settler was held in the community. He leaves no near relatives. Clarence Houghton is a cousin, and is the sole survivor of those pioneers who journeyed by ox team into the frontier lands to make farms out of the wilderness.7
BiographyHoughton, Charles (27 AUG 1851)
Charles Houghton was born Aug. 27, 1851, in Allegheny Co., N.Y., and came to Wisconsin in 1855. He was the son of Sidney Houghton and still lives on the old homestead in Houghtonburg settle by his father so many years ago. He was married to Miss Mae Waltker July 4, 1876. Mrs. Houghton was an invalid for many years and passed away Jan. 1, 1894. Mr. Houghton believes that Humbird is doing as much business as any of the small towns and that we are going to see better times from now on. Extensive advertising by the merchants has drawn more trade here, which has greatly helped the town. Now if we could have a small manufacturing plant and more men with capital there would be no question of Humbird, Clark County, Wis.'s rapid growth.

----Houghton, Ira Clarence (21 May 1853 – 4 March 1935)

Clarence Houghton, pioneer settler of Houghton, and the last of the older generation of Houghtons died at his home at 12 o’clock noon, Monday, March 4, 1935, after an illness of paralysis, dating back several years.

Funeral services are held this Thursday afternoon at the home, Rev. V. D. Weidler preaching the sermon. Masonic rites were given by W. E. Waters, past master of Humbird Lodge. Burial was in the Houghtonburg Cemetery.

Ira Clarence Houghton was born in Walworth County, Wisconsin, May 21, 1853. He was an only son of Oliver and Caroline Walker Houghton. The father was a native of Courtland County, New York, and came to Wisconsin territory in 1846, where he was united in marriage the following year. A daughter, Stella, was also born during their residence in Walworth county. Stella in later years became the wife of Byron Harvey, and resided in this section until her death more than fifty years ago. Clarence was a boy of about twelve years when the father, and his four brothers, and their families left Walwroth county and journeyed by covered wagon and ox team to the newly opened government lands in central Wisconsin. The boy Clarence drove one of the ox teams to the new home in Houghtonburg. The homestead taken by his father is the only one which has remained in the family.

The log cabin boyhood home of the deceased was the scene of the first religious meeting, the first school meeting, and the first town meeting held in this part of the new settlements of the state.

Mr. Houghton grew to young manhood on the farm, and June 8, 1873, was united in marriage with Mrs. Emma E. Davis, of Black River Falls. For seven years following their marriage they lived on a farm near Visalia, Calif., and then came back to the old homestead. The call of the frontier was again heeded, this time taking them to Nelson County, North Dakota for eight years. This time they returned to the old home farm to remain, excepting a short period spent in California fifteen years ago.

Mr. and Mrs. Houghton happily celebrated their golden wedding in June, 1923, and their sixtieth anniversary in 1933, although at that time Mr. Houghton was affiliated with the illness which eventually caused his death. Mrs. Houghton passed away Nov. 27th, 1934. Mr. Houghton survived his beloved helpmate only about three months. He attained the age of 81 years, 9 months and 13 days.

Survivors are one daughter, Mrs. Ella Harvey, and three sons, Sidney, Hugh, and Mahlon, besides a number of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and other relatives.

Mr. Houghton was a member of the Humbird Lodge No. 191, F. & A. M., receiving the degrees of the order thirty-three years ago. He was also a member of the Eastern Star.9

With the exception of about fifteen years their home has been on the homestead of Mr. Houghton’s father, Oliver Houghton, in the town of Alma, Jackson County, in the vicinity being known to all as “Houghtonburg.”

In the early fall following their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Houghton went to Viscalia, Calif., and located on a homestead, which was their home for seven years. Returning to Wisconsin, they remained but a short time, and then when the Dakota boom was on, went to Nelson county, in North Dakota, and operated a farm near Michigan City for eight seasons.

Then returning to Wisconsin to remain until the time of her death about 3:30 Tuesday morning, Nov. 27, 1934, at the advanced age of 79 years, 7 months and 29 days.

Mrs. Houghton was a member of the Order of the Eastern Star, a past matron of Humbird Chapter No. 109.

Those mourning the death of this much loved pioneer woman, are her invalid husband, one daughter, Ella (Mrs. Herbert Harvey) of Beloit; and three sons, two of whom live in the west, Sidney and Hugh, and Mahlon who resides on the home farm. Mrs. Houghton leaves also several grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and a number of other relatives, and many friends.

Two sons from the west were unable to come for the services, and Mr. Houghton was not able to attend. Those present from away were Mr. and Mrs. Harvey, of Beloit, their daughter, Mrs. Ted Wunsch, of Peoria, Ill., and her daughter, Mrs. Nordahl and baby, Theodore, of Beloit. Also Mr. and Mrs. D. H. Holder, Mrs. Harriet Noble and Mrs. Theresia Durin, of Black River Falls, Mr. and Mrs. Vantassel, of Osseo, John Miller, of Ludington.9

Giles Mahlon Houghton, son of Mr. and Mrs. Mahlon Houghton, was born in town of Alma, Jackson county, Wis. April 14, 1916.

In his early years he was a frail child, though during the later years he enjoyed better health and was becoming a joy to his parents as well as a great help to them about the home. Since he reached school age he attended the Houghtonburg school.

On Wednesday of last week he was taken ill, and Friday was taken to the Sacred Heart hospital, Eau Claire, where an appendicitis operation was performed. Altho (although) his condition was very critical from the first, yet the best of hope for his recovery was held, even to the last day. Monday afternoon he became much worse, followed by his passing out of this life to his reward at the age of 15 years 4 months and 10 days.

He leaves to mourn his parents and one sister, Leona, also his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. I. C. Houghton ** and Mr. Jacob Matti, and many other relatives: and a host of young friends.

Funeral services were held at the home Thursday afternoon at 1:30 and at the Reformed church at 2:00 o’clock, Rev. V. D. Weidler officiating. Many beautiful floral tributes were an expression of sympathy from sorrowing friends. Interment was in Houghtonburg cemetery.
