Note

Stanley Rey Houghton, 2022: There is a book that I think is in a public library in Oxford County, Ontario, entitle The Axe and Wheel. I could not check out a copy, get copies, or find one to purchase. It mentions memories by Capt. Williams about his Uncle Steve Houghton. He tells about Steve Houghton breaking a huge rock at a barn raising. Williams also says that Steve Houghton laid many barn foundations in the area. An index of will exists somewhere that lists Stephen Houghton – Woodstock – Stone Mason. These are the parents and siblings of my great grandfather. This Stephen was listed as a farmer, laborer, Teamster and stone mason. He must be the one mentioned in The Axe and the Wheel.

The Axe and the Wheel, 1974, Author West Oxford Women's Institute Book Committee, Compiler
A history of West Oxford Township from 1790 - 1974. Included are the Century Farms (as of 1967) in the district.⁵
