Biographyde Hoghton Pedigree I: "Sir Richard Hoghton, 1st Bart. d. 1630 m. Katherine dau. Sir Gilbert Gerard of Gerard's Bromley, Staffs. Created Baronet, eighth in order of precedency, 1611. Sheriff of Lancashire 1599. M. P. for the county 1601-1611. Entertained James I on his return from Scotland, at Hoghton Tower 1617. Imprisoned in the Fleet for debt for several years afterwards."
de Hoghton Pedigree II: "Sir Richard Hoghton, of Hoghton, Knt. and Bart., under age at his father's death, and in ward to Sir Gilbert Gerard; he succeeded to a very great estate, was knighted by Q. Eliz., and Sheriff of Lancaster the 41st year of her reign, and made a Bart., 22 May, 1611, with the first advanced to that dignity; he served in several parliaments as knight of the shire for Lancaster, and entertained King James I at Hoghton Tower for several days on his progress into Scotland in 1617. He died 12 November, 1630."

Burke's Peerage: Sir Richard was born in Sept. 1570, knighted in Jan. 1589/90, created Sheriff of co. Lancaster in 1599, and was created a baronet on May 22, 1611. He represented Parliament for several years, and entertained King James I at the ancestral seat, Hoghton Tower, for several days on the latter's return from Scotland in 1617.

JWH. 32-33: "Sir Richard, b. 8, 26, 1570;d. 11, 12, 1630. At the death of his father he was under age, being but 19 years old, and in ward to Sir Gilbert Gerard. He succeeded to a very large estate, was knighted by Queen Elizabeth, and was Sheriff of Lancashire in 1599. He was several times called to represent the County of Lancashire in Parliament. He was in special favor with King James I, and was among the seventeen whom the King first elevated to the dignity of Baronets, May 22d,1611. When James I, in 1617, made his tour into Scotland, he on his return stopped three days at houghton Tower, viz; August 17,18, and 19, 1617, and was entertained with great hospitality by Sir Richard as the "Bill of Fare" on that occasion indicates. A full account of the splendid festivities is still preserved. King James is said to have knighted the loin of beef served on that occasion and that portion of the carcasss has ever since been called "Sir Loin" from that event.

He married Catherine, daughter of Sir Gilbert Gerard, of Gerard's Bromley, in Staffordshire, Knight and Master of the Rolls and who died Nov. 17, 1617. By her he had six sons and eight daughters."

JWH, (quoting from Extract from the Houghton Memorial of Francis W. Houghton of New York, 1862), p. 58:

" Sir Richard Houghton was born August 26, 1570, and died November 12, 1630. He was under age at the time of his father's death, being but nineteen years old, and was in ward to Sir Gilbert Gerard, of Gerard's Bromley in Staffordshire, Master of the Rolls, an intimate neighbor of the Houghtons. Although Sir Richard succeeded to a very large estate yet he further and largely increased the talent committed to him by his own prudent management. From Thomas Laughton, the Baron of Walton and Newton, he extended the estate of Walton C. Bale in compounding with him for the affray at Lea hall and the death of Sir Thomas, the father of Sir Richard. He no doubt further augmented his estate by his marriage with Cathrine Gerard, the daughter of his former guardian, and at his death handed them to his heir, in time more extensive, leaving far higher honors and titles and a more unsullied name than they had ever before possessed. Sir Richard was knighted by Queen Elizabeth's own hand, a most signal honor at any time but doubly so when received direct from the hand of royalty, especially when it is remembered that knight hood was seldom conferred by that haughty Sovereign, and never except as a token of reward for real merit.

In 1600, three years before herr death, she appointed him Sheriff of Lancashire. While attending a county business, the Sheriff was subject to the Sovereign alone and no one was eligible to the post who could not answer with his property any complaint made by the King.

Sir Richard also stood high in favour at the court of King James I and was several times called to represent the county of Lancashire in Parliament.

Sir Richard was one of the seventeen who were first invested with the hereditary dignity of Baronet May 22, 1611. One of the chief delights of James I consisted in making costly and magnificent tours or progresses through different parts of his kingdom and visiting his wealthy subjects at their own castles. One of the most remarkable of these journeys was that which took place in the summer of 1617, when he made his memorable tour in Scotland after an absence of fourteen years therefrom. In the course of this progress King James stopped three days at Houghton Tower and was entertained with great magnificence by Sir Richard. The date of this visit was August 17, 18, and 19, 1617.

Sir Richard is described as a hale handsome man between fifty-five and sixty, with silver hair and beard and a robust and commanding person having a fresh complexion and a countenance manifesting firmness, benevolence and a well informed mind. Sir Richard had six sons and eight daugthers."

V. I. Uran, Houghton Genealogy, p. 136: Baronet by James I on May 22 1611 (Sheriff of Lane 41 Eliz, 1598 (1599?)). Moved from London to Houghton Castle by stagecoach which burned and all records lost. Believed to be the progenitor of the largest of the American branches of the Houghton family. He may have been the father of Ralph Houghton. Had 7 sons and 5 daughters ,p.136, but 13 listed (independent of Ralph).

J.W. Houghton, p. 30, states that James I stayed at Hoghton Tower in 1617 and delighted at quality of steak served to him, touched it with his sword and announced, " I knight thee, Sir Loin". Thus arose the term sirloin of beef at Hoghton Tower, according to British Travel Association. Sir-loin could also mean "above the loin".

Hoghton Tower: 1st Baronet. Succeeded in 1589 and knighted in 1590. Sheriff of Lancashire 1589. Represented in County of Lancaster in parliament 1601-1611. Created Baronet in 1611. Entertained King James I on his return from Scotland, at Hoghton Tower 1617. Gained Royal Concession 1608-1629 to mine for coal, copper and slate: alum for 24 years concession.

Bernard de Hoghton: He was brought up in the English Royal Court and became one of the primier baronets in England.14,9,8,15,4,16
ResearchOnly JWH gives this parentage
ResearchWikipedia: The Hoghton, later Bold-Hoghton, later de Hoghton Baronetcy, of Hoghton Tower in the County of Lancaster, is a title in the Baronetage of England. It was created on 22 May 1611 for Richard Hoghton, Member of Parliament for Lancashire. The Hoghton family had been landowners in Lancashire since the reign of King Stephen and had been Knights of the Shire for Lancashire since the 14th century. The second Baronet represented Clitheroe and Lancashire in the House of Commons and was a Royalist leader during the Civil War. The third and fourth Baronets both sat as Members of Parliament for Lancashire. The fifth Baronet was Member of Parliament for Preston and East Looe while the sixth and seventh Baronets represented Preston. The eighth Baronet assumed the additional surname of Bold. The ninth Baronet resumed in 1862 by Royal license the ancient family surname of de Hoghton.
The family surname is pronounced "de Horton". The family seat is Hoghton Tower, Hoghton, Preston, Lancashire.

Wikipedia: Sir Richard Hoghton, 1st Baronet (1570–1630) was a politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1601 and 1611.
Hoghton Tower.

Hoghton was of Hoghton Tower and was appointed High Sheriff of Lancashire for 1599 and was knighted in January 1600. In 1601 he was elected Member of Parliament (MP) for Lancashire and was re-elected MP for Lancashire in 1604.

Hoghton was one of the first baronets, created on 22 May 1611.

Hoghton died in 1630 and the baronetcy was inherited by his son Gilbert.17

John Stowe, son of John Stowe of Biddenden, was a clerk and an Inn-keeper in Biddenden, Kent and also was Parish Clerk at Biddenden in 1587 He wrote his will on 29 October 1600 and it was probated on 16 December 1601.
He was christened between 2 January 1539 and 1540 at Biddenden, County Kent, England.1 He was the son of John Stowe. He married Joan Baker on 30 July 1572 at Biddenden, County Kent, England.

ObituaryJul 25, 2012Annis Eaton November 19, 1927 - July 17, 2012

Annis "Betty" E. (Houghton) Eaton, age 84, of Fairhaven, passed away peacefully, Tuesday, July 17, 2012 at St Luke's Hospital surrounded by her loving family. She was the wife of Harold P. Eaton.
Born in New Market, New Hampshire, she was the daughter of the late James A. and Jeannette (Colombin) Houghton.
Betty worked as a tie in girl at New Bedford Rayon and a secretary at Text Worker's Union of America. She enjoyed reading and cooking. Betty had been a member of Good Shepherd since 1958 and had served the church in many ways. She had served on the Vestry for many terms and was Treasurer for 17 years. She also taught Sunday School. She had an all boy's class because back then the boys and girls were separated. -"and they were a handful", she said. In 1975 she became a licensed Lay Reader and Chalice Bearer, enabling her to give Communion to home-bound parishioners when it was needed. Betty always supported any activities the church had and worked in the kitchen for many events. Her favorite service to the church had been working on the Altar Guild, which she started doing in 1958. She said being on the Altar Guild is "very close to my heart". "You learn so much" when you work on the Altar Guild. It's more than preparing for the service- you learn all the meanings of the seasons of the Church Year-the different colors used and the special preparations.
Survivors in addition to her husband are her children Sandra Alphone and her husband James of Florida, Robin Eaton of New Bedford; four grandchildren, Bethany, Amy and Michael Prast, David Eaton and one great-grandchild, Isabella Andrini. She was the mother of the late William Prast, Jr and Linda E. Prast. She was the sister of the late George Nelson, Ellen Buhlmaier and Alberta Rogers.
Her funeral will be held Saturday, July 28, 2012 at 11am at The Church of the Good Shepherd, 357 Main Street, Fairhaven. Visiting hours are respectfully omitted. Burial will be on Monday, July 30th, at 10am in Riverside Cemetery. Friends and family welcome. Flowers may be sent to ROCK Funeral Home and Donations in her memory may be sent to The Church of the Good Shepherd, 357 Main St. Fairhaven, MA 02719.2
