Notes for: John Whitney HOUGHTON
Of Hudson, MA in 1875.
The queries on this page are due to Clara declaring on 1900 census she had only 2 children and 1 surviving. This doesn't tally with gravestone information about deaths of the two sons Herbert and Walter or the 1880 census. Because the marriage date is known, then these two sons were hers and not an earlier wife. One can only conclude that the information she provided in 1900 census was incorrect.
