Biography

Did you know that we were all raised Christian Science? I wonder when that started. As far as I know, none of us practice that anymore. Both my mom's parents and my dad's mom (his dad was gone before I came around) were devoted to Christian Science.

I have in my possession a bunch of historical letters from the Houghton family. I believe there are at least 300 pages that are the original letters of a Fisher M Rice. He was an individual who was commissioned to go to England to see if there was any land or assets that would be available to Houghton heirs in America. The body that funded his trip was the Houghton Association. I also have some original documents from that organization. It appears that the time period was about 1846-1848,

My wife is a Houghton and I believe that her family tree goes back to England? At least the early 1700's as far as I can tell. Most of the ancestors were in New England - Vermont, Massachusetts.

These documents have been sitting in a closet and before they get lost or destroyed, I wanted to preserve them for future generations. Probably scan, convert handwriting to text, digitize etc. Not even sure I know what all that means or involves. The letters are all in great shape. Have been stored flat and are very readable. But it would be nice to have them in text form so as to be faster to read.

Did a quick review of what I have. (There also may be a lot more that Robert Houghton has....my brother in law. I have reached out to him.
Items:
The Houghton Association Report of the Agents to England. NYC 1848 - approx 40 pages. Report is in the original envelope
Constitution and Officers of the Houghton Association with Proceedings of meeting held in Worcester MA March 3, 1847
(plus a lot of other letters etc Mass Houghton Association)
Rice's Letter on the Houghton Genealogy 9-24-48 (with charts)
Numerous letters from Rice to Roland S Houghton, NYC 1846-1847
Numerous letters from Rice to Geo Frederick Houghton St Albans, Vermont 1846+
There is probably more mixed in all that but I just tried to get a sample of what was in each file.
All this material came out of the Houghton house, 86 south main, St Albans, Vermont (my wife's family)
She has a good handle on all of the occupants of that home since it was built. Able Houghton (wife Stebbins) were the first occupants I believe.

John Kosichi: "All of the Houghton Association documents and letters to/from Rice and members of the association are in my possession and are originals. All of the dates are in the 1846-1849 range. My best guess is that Abel Houghton (St Albans relative) lived at 86 South Main and that house was always occupied by my wife's direct ancestors. We sold that property in the 70's. I believe that the chest of old documents that kept floating around was where Abel had stored them. Until about 5 years ago after my mother in law died and we were sifting through the estate, we found this wood chest.. From what was in there, it was obvious that nobody had checked its contents for decades. This Houghton Association document is entitled: Constitution and Officers of the Houghton Association with the Proceedings of the Houghton Meeting held in Worcester, Massachusetts March 3, 1847. The Officers list Fisher Rice as Recording Secretary.
