Houghton Ancestors

This book documents the lives of the Houghton ancestors from England and America during the past 1,000 years. From the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, this thrilling story deals with kings, queens, knights, religious wars, saints, Revolutionary and Civil War heroes, explorers, settlers, farmers, poets, businessmen, and even spirit mediums. It has 95 illustrations and photos, many of which have never been published. It even covers never before published information on the Stone Age ancestors of the Houghtons that can be traced back over 300,000 years by using modern DNA testing and new archeology and paleoanthropology findings. I trust that I have captured some of the achievements, hopes, dreams, lives, and even sorrow and anguish of our forefathers so that they will not be forgotten by future generations.
