The McNabbs
Hougham
The Hougham family traces its ancestry back to the first Robert de Hougham, who was a Norman knight in the army of William the Conqueror in 1066. For his service he was granted a manor near Canterbury, England, which is now the Village of Hougham. One of the early de Houghams served in the Crusades under Richard the Lion Hearted at the Battle of Acre, 1095. Since that time there have been eight generations of Robert de Houghams, who served the church in the Village of Hougham. (Robert Hougham material).
Marian Hurley Pratt: “Hougham is a place name, a mixture of Norman and Saxon. `Hough' is Norman and means `a dweller on, or by, a hill or bluff.' The suffix `ham' is Saxon and means `a home.' Hasted says `Houghams were a branch of Averanches.'” (volume 9, p452).
“The manor of Hougham adjoins Dover Castle and the high, chalky cliffs of Dover. The Chateau de Arques of Averanch, France, has a similar situation and meaning. The Book of Domesday suggests that Baldwin was probably the Ancestor of Hougham. This family also owned Weddington Manor at Ash, Nevilles Fleet, and Barton Court of Canterbury, all in County Kent, England. Beginning at Whitstable, in Anglo Saxon days before England was known as a kingdom, it is one of the four most ancient of Britain.”
“The Manor of Hougham was part of the defense lands of Dover Castle, and was sometimes called the Elms, and Southcourt, or Chilverton. This manor of 190 acres in Flete extended into Dover, Folkestone, Newsborough and the Cinque Ports. Gravesend was in Hougham's Estate; it got its name because when the plague or Black Death was so bad, the victims were carried there and thrown into the sea—buried in the sea mostly unrecorded.”

Lived Ash, Kent, England. Not listed in work of Marian Hurley Pratt (References: Visitations of Kent, Berry's Pedigrees, Parish Church of Ash, Wills). Other Hougham pedigree charts begin with John Hougham.
Authentic and main pedigree begins:
William Hougham (son of John and Joan (_______) Hougham)
no date: married Elizabetha _______, of Sandwich.
no date: son Solomon born.
William de Hougha' of Elmstone. Living 1463. Wife Elizabeth widow in 1473. Lived Ash, Kent, England. The College of Arms begins the pedigree with William, notwithstanding most of the foregoing is from Charters and Documents in their library, though the proof is limited. “A Forgotten Past” heads the pedigree with John, Vicar of St. Martins, his will 1482. Marian Hurley Pratt says this is an error.
Will of Elizabeth Hougham, 2 Aug 1473, widow of Canterbury. Marian Hurley Pratt: “This will beings in the usual way: `In Deity name Amen.' Her name Elizabeth, composed mentally and good memory, widow of St. Mary's, Canterbury, to the Brotherhood of St. Mary's and to the light of St. Katherine's. It is very short, not signed or sealed, not of much genealogical value, the surname spelled “Hicham” or “Hugyham.” We get from it that she outlived her husband.

William was a tobacconist of London. Marian Hurley Pratt: There are many versions of the above family. One source gives a Solomon, another two Michaels. In 1575 a Bennett Hougham married a Thomas Contry proven by wills and registers. It is possible to be another of same names 200 years later, but proof is needed. Of the daughter above, all but Mary were mentioned in will 1660 of Aunt Anne. Also the children of Anne Follard and Margaret were mentioned. Uncle Edward also mentioned the daughter of Ann (1670 - Frances Pollard, “my cousin”) and Margaret. It may be William's sister not his daughter who married Mr. Lasher, a granddaughter of Richard. References: Bridges Division, lawsuit 546/59 Robinson Hougham names Susan Hougham, widow, and 12 of her children, of St. Martin's, Ludgate Hill, London, England, grocer. British Museum MSS. 5, 507 names 15 of the children. Boys History and Collection says 6 sons and 6 daughters. In 1717 Francis the seventh son of William (this latter the executor of Aunt Anne's will) says in a sworn statement (J. R. Planche “Corner of Kent,” chapter 2), “At the end of Villare Cantanum, formerly belonging to N. J. Warburton, Somerset Herald, was pasted however a manuscript memorandum by Francis Hougham, only surviving son of the late William, stating that his Aunt Anne left his father executor and the estate to Francis' youngest brother Michael, and in case he died it was to go to the next youngest of the children of William,” “which I, Francis Hougham, only son left and I by my last will do give it to my son Gervase, but, I find that my father had mortgaged it for 99 years, that it is impossible that it can come to me, so I have made this memorandum of it that my son Gervase may have it not withstanding. I believe it is now (1717) 60 years since the date. It lies in the Parish of Ash. It is in the hands of M. Willis as tenant.” Note that Francis says he is seventh son and Michael way younger, so that proved eight sons.
These law suits were many during 1682-1686 and on down into 1800's and 1900's. In the Records Office, London, England, is a document Cy/181/109, 20 Apr 1682, which deals with Richard, Osbert, and Francis, sons of William who was executor for Anne and a mortgage to Robinson Humphrey and an answer from William Davis and wife to Osbert, Richard, Charles, and Francis Hougham. This supplies some of the names of William's sons and dates they were living, but not necessarily in order of birth.
From “Water's Genealogical Gleanings” in England, volume 2, p1056, “Richard Carey, a merchant residing in the Isle of Barbados, 1682, June 12. My friends Mr. Francis Wood and Mr. Osbert Hougham, both of St. Michael's in the Isles of Barbados, merchants and my wife all the rest of my goods whatsoever, which I die possessed of, both real and personal, let it be in England, New York, the Isle of Barbados or elsewhere, to be equally divided amongst them, share and share alike, making them jointly my executors, etc.”
“Mr. Streatfield says, `Francis Hougham was a citizen and painter, stainer of London and bore the ancient coat of the family.”
A document in Record Office, London, England, Bundle 151 No. 44 Hougham Hamilton 1680 “that Richard and Stephen Hougham were merchants of London to East Indies.” But they are not of the family of William and Susan.
One more reference to William Hougham of London, England, son of Michael Hougham and Margaret Courthorpe was named “oldest son” on the early Visitations of Kent.

John was a farmer.
Extract from Old Settlers of M'Lean County, Davis, Dr. E., 1874, p732.
John Hougham was born November 19, 1810 in Highland County, Ohio. His father's name was Runyon Hougham, and his mother's name was Sarah Lamon. His father was of English descent, and his mother of Dutch. John Hougham never cut up many capers in Ohio, but was always a moral young man. He came with the family to the State of Illinois, to Funk's Grove, McLean County, in the fall of 1831. They had a hard time coming through the sloughs, and were once two days in going ten miles. They were sometimes water-bound, and were obliged to make bridges. When they came to the Wabash prairie they found the sloughs without bottom. When he arrived here, he worked on his father's farm. He has never traveled much, and has had very few adventures. He intended to see a great deal of the world, before he settled down, but failed to carry out this resolution. He remembers the sudden change of weather in December, 1836, and says it was the “awfullest, quickest change he ever saw.” He was then out hunting turkeys, but came home suddenly. He never hunted much, except after turkeys, and he “reckons he has killed right smart of them.” He used to wrestle a great deal, as all the early settlers did, and was thrown only once in his life, “best two out of three.”
Mr. Hougham is not much of a traveler, though he once drove hogs to Galena. But he said it hurt his feet terribly, and that “if God would forgive him for going that time, he would never go again.”
In the year 1840, Mr. Hougham found the woman of his choice. He married Miss Eliza Ann Brock, on the 4th of April of that year. She is yet living. He says he was only married once, that was enough for him; it was necessary to have some woman to take care of him.
In politics, Mr. Hougham is an old time Democrat. In answer to the question as to how he came to be a Democrat, he said that his father was a Democrat and all the family likewise, and that he came to be a Democrat as a matter of course. He voted first for General Jackson, and continued to vote for him three times, and has ever since voted for Jackson's friends. He says he never pulled wires in his life, or wrote a political document, or made a stump speech. He does not approve of stump speaking, and will not patronize it, as he thinks it does more injury than good. His opinion of Petroleum Nasby is, that the latter has done more harm than good to the Democratic party. He thinks the Chicago Times is the best paper printed, and the only objection to it is its line type. He now takes the Bloomington Democrat, because it costs $1.50 per annum, and he wishes to patronize “home consumption.” Mr. Hougham did not vote for Horace Greeley during the last campaign, though he considered Greeley a very smart man. But his objection was, that the latter brought on the war of the rebellion. He was the disturbing cause and responsible for it, though the South did not do altogether right. It was Mr. Hougham's opinion, after considering the matter carefully, that Greeley was nominated for the purpose of “running in Grant,” so he determined to vote for “nary a one of 'em.”
Mr. Hougham has taken very little interest in religious matters, though he once contributed ten cents to the Universalists.
In personal appearance Mr. Hougham is six feet and one inch in height, and weights two hundred and fifty-six pounds. He very much resembles Horace Greeley, though the latter did not have the winning smile which Mr. Hougham's countenance wears, and an acute observer might detect several points of difference in their intellectual development. Mr. Hougham is a kind man, and a pleasant neighbor. He is anxious that his name shall be spelled correctly, and is annoyed to think that a “heap of people spell it Huffam.”

Lamon was a farmer.
Extract from “Pioneers of Funk's Grove” by Lafayette Funk” (a paper read at the celebration of the 75th anniversary of the settlement of Funk's Grove, Sept. 21, 1890):
”Perhaps Lamon was the more successful business one, who died March 19, 1885, leaving two sons, James A., and Emery, possessed of good farms and well stocked with all species of agricultural industries. Their widowed mother in her old age makes her home with the two sons, and was a native of Indiana, coming to this state with her parents in 1851.”
Extract from Old Settlers of M'Lean County, Davis, Dr. E., 1874, p734: “The author would have been glad to have written a sketch of Lamon Hougham also, but the latter refused to give any items of his life, as he `did not wish to encourage speculation in books.'”

History of McLean County, Illinois, Prince and Burnham, Editors, 1908 Chicago, Munsell Publishing Company:
Hougham, James Albert ranks as one of the representative agriculturists of McLean County, Illinois, where he carries on farming and stock raising on an extensive scale in the vicinity of the Village of McLean, and his superior enterprise, capacity and progressive spirit are fully recognized by all. He was born in Funk's Grove Township, McLean County, Illinois, 10 February 1855. He is a son of Lamon and Elizabeth (Pemberton) Hougham of whom the father was born in Highland County, Ohio, 1 Dec 1817 and the mother in Fountain County, Indiana, in the year 1830. Runion Hougham, the paternal grandfather, who was a native of England came to the U.S. in the early part of the last century, settling in Ohio, where he followed farming. About the year 1833 he moved his family and household effects by ox-team to Illinois, locating on a tract of farming land in Funk's Grove Township, McLean County, where the remainder of his life was spent. His wife, Sarah (Lamon) Hougham, was of German nativity. She also passed her last days in Funk's Grove Township On the maternal side, the grandparents were James and Sarah (Beaver) Pemberton, the former being born in Ohio on 2 Aug 1807. They first made their home in McLean County, Illinois, about 1833 and the death of the grandfather occurred in Empire Township and the grandmother in the village of LeRoy. Lamon Hougham, father of James A. was a farmer by occupation. He and his brother entered up a large piece of land, which they divided into equal shares, and on which they carried on farming during the rest of their lives. Lamon Hougham died 19 Mar 1885, his widow surviving him until May 1901. In politics, he was a Democrat and fraternally, a member of the AF & AM belonging to Shirley Lodge #582. His religious connection was with the Universalist Church, and that of his wife with the Shirley Christian Church. He was instrumental in the erection of its edifice and of the United Brethren Church in Dale Township He and his wife had a family of three children, James Albert, Sarah Elizabeth, deceased, and Emery L.
James A. Hougham was brought up on the home farm and received his education in the common schools. From the time of reaching maturity he has carried on farming, and is now the own of 400 acres of fine land. Besides general farming operation he devotes considerable time to raising stock. For about seven years he lived in McLean County, Illinois in order to enjoy better facilities for educating his children.
Mr. Hougham's wife was formerly Bettie A. Dozier to whom he was wedded 20 Dec 1876. Mrs. Hougham was born in Estill County, Kentucky and is a daughter of Ephraim and Hulda (Benton) Dozier, who spent their lives in that state. From this union four children have resulted as follows: Leota, who graduated from the McLean high school, studied music under the well-known instructress in that art, Mrs. Gray, and married Thomas Stubblefield, son of George Stubblefield, deceased; James S. who is a graduate of the same school and is now engaged in farming; Susan who received her education in the McLean and Bloomington high schools and Illinois Wesleyan University, afterward becoming the wife of Lawrence W. Stubblefield; and Mary Hulda born 14 November 1900 and died 21 February 1901.
Mr. Hougham is a Democrat in political issues, and has served as school director of his township. In fraternal circles, he is identified with the AF and AM, belonging to Shirley Lodge #582, of which his father was a charter member, who presented his son's application for membership therein. He is also affiliated with Bloomington Chapter #26 RAM and Demolay Commandry KT. The Hougham family is widely known and respected.

History of McLean County, Illinois, Prince and Burnham, Editors, 1908, Chicago, Munsell Publishing Company:
Hougham, Emery L., a very well-known, enterprising and thorough-going farmer in the vicinity of Covell, McLean County, Illinois and a citizen prominent in connection with the public affairs of his locality, was born in Funk's Grove Township, McLean County, Illinois 6 Nov 1863. He is a son of Lamon and Elizabeth (Pemberton) Hougham, mention of whom is made in a biographical record of another son, James Albert Hougham, appearing elsewhere in this connection, together with more ample particulars of the family history. Emery L. Hougham was reared on the home farm, and received his education in the common schools of Dale Township, McLean County. From early manhood, he has been engaged in general farming and raising stock. He is the owner of 240 acres of highly productive land in Dale Township, improved with unusually commodious and attractive buildings, besides 50 acres in Funk's Grove Township and his farming operations have been attended by uniformly good results.
The marriage of Mr. Hougham took place 15 Dec 1886 on which date he was wedded to Margaret Belle Nicol, who was born in Dawson Township, McLean County, Illinois on 28 Dec 1868 and is a daughter of Thomas and Mary (Ross) Nicol the former a native of Scotland, and the latter, of McLean County. Three children have resulted from this union, as follows: Mabel, who received her education in the common school and the Bloomington high school; Howard who was educated in the common schools and is at the present writing a student in Brown's Business College; and Lyle who is with his parents and attends school in the vicinity of his home.
On political issues, Mr. Hougham is identified with the Democratic party. For nine years he has discharged the duties pertaining to the office of Road Commissioner of his township, with credit to himself and to the satisfaction of all concerned. Fraternally he is affiliated with the AF and AM being a member of Shirley Lodge #582. In religion he is a Methodist. Mr. Hougham and his esteemed wife and promising family are greatly esteemed throughout the township.

Excerpt from Old Settlers of M'Lean County — Davis, Dr. E., 1874, p734:
“Westley Hougham, the brother of John Hougham, was born March 3, 1820, in Highland County, Ohio. He was always a moral boy and never cut up capers or shines. He came to Funk's grove in November 1831. He had no particular adventure on the way, except difficulties with the mud which delayed the family for some time, as they were obliged to make a great many bridges. On his arrival he immediately commenced farming and shaking with the fever and ague. Sometimes he farmed for his mother and sometimes for himself. When he became a “chunk of a boy” he ran wolves and deer and turkeys, and sometimes was successful in catching them and sometimes they won the race. When the sudden change in weather came, he was chasing turkeys about four miles from home, but made good time back, as may have been supposed. He was obliged to swim Sugar Creek.
“He married, September 5, 1845, Miss Ellen Smith, and by this marriage has had four children, of whom three are living. His wife died in 1854. He married, February 18, 1857, Margaret Ross, and by this marriage has had four children, of whom three are living. Two of Mr. Hougham's children are married. They are: James Thomas Hougham, who lives within half a mile of his father's house. Mrs. America Ann Boler lives within a mile of her father's house.
“Mr. Hougham lacks half an inch of being six feet in height, when measured in his stocking feet. That was his measurement at Springfield when he went to see if he would do for a soldier. He weighs three or four hundred pounds but he does not know precisely which. He is stout and pretty active.”

Aaron was a barrelmaker and farmer.
Washington, Clay, and Riley Counties, Kansas, 1890, Chicago: Chapman Brothers (extracted from a biographical sketch of Prof. John S. Hougham, A.M., LL.D.):
Aaron Hougham, the father of John S., was born in Virginia, in the 1776, and when nine years of age was taken by his father to Kentucky. Here Aaron, while a small boy, became acquainted with the adventures, vicissitudes, privations and perils of pioneer life. When only eighteen years of age he left his home and enlisted as a soldier under Gen. Wayne, the “Mad Anthony” of Revolutionary fame, who had been sent against the Indians, and who administered to them a crushing defeat at the battle of the Maumee, in which young Hougham participated.
After being mustered out of the service at Ft. Washington, then standing on ground now occupied by the city of Cincinnati, Aaron Hougham went to Columbia, a village four miles above on the Ohio River, where he was for some time in the employ of John Smith, a Baptist preacher, who conducted a farm and distillery, and who afterward became on of the first United States Senators from Ohio. Among other things young Hougham made the barrels in which Mr. Smith shipped his whiskey to New Orleans in flatboats.
Closing his engagement at Columbia, Aaron Hougham bought some land near Eaton, in Preble County, Ohio, and set about improving and cultivating it. His farm was in the thick woods, in a sparsely settled part of the Territory, and he was surrounded by Indians, liable at any moment to forsake the ways of peace and take to the war path. It was not long after he was established in his new home before his parents left Kentucky and settled near him.
In the year 1802 this soldier, cooper and farmer married Miss Mary Hutchings, who died in 1814, leaving to her bereaved husband three children—Jonathan, Rhoda, and Jacob. Jonathan, who became a cooper and farmer, was twice married. His first wife was Rebecca Dungan, who died in 1831, leaving three children; and his second was Catherine Lee, by whom he had four children. He died in Tippecanoe County, Ind., in the year 1848. Rhoda married Samuel Lakin, a farmer, assisted in rearing a large family, and died in 1876, in Jasper County, Ind., aged seventy years. Jacob, also a cooper and farmer, married Miss Elizabeth Sanders, in 1829, and became the father of six children. His wife died in 1849, and he in 1874, he being sixty-six years old at his decease. He lived more than forty years in Johnson County, Ind., and died there.
Prof. John S. Hougham's mother was of Holland descent. She was the daughter of John Scherer, who died in early manhood, leaving his widow and an infant daughter, Catherine. The widow remarried, her second husband being Mr. Joel White, by whom she had a numerous family. The daughter, Catherine Scherer, on coming to womanhood married Aaron Williams. He lived only a few years afterward. Two children were born of this marriage—Susan and Joel D. Susan married Zachariah Conaway, and became the mother of ten children. She died in Fayette County, Ind., in the summer of 1888, at the age of seventy-eight years. Joel D. is a farmer, living near Franklin, Ind. He married Miss Frances Walker, and five children were born to him and his wife.
After the death of his first wife Aaron Hougham lived a widower about one year, his little daughter Rhoda being his chief housekeeper. In 1814 he was united in wedlock with Mrs. Catherine (Scherer) Williams, widow of Aaron Williams, the marriage ceremony taking place in Union County, Ind. Of this marriage five children were born in the following order: Mary in 1817, John Scherer in 1821, Eli in 1823, Wilson Thompson in 1825 and Sarah in 1827. Mary died in 1866; she was the wife of William Runkle, a farmer, who still lives near Franklin, Ind. Two children blessed their married life, a son who died in early infancy; and a daughter, Catherine, now living near her father, and married to John Hendricks. Eli lives two miles east of Franklin, Ind. He has been twice married; his first wife was Miss Emily Parkhurst, who died leaving two children, a daughter and son. The son died in infancy; the daughter, Mary (Hougham) Wright survives, and is also the mother of a son and daughter just now coming into manhood and womanhood. Eli's second wife was Miss Minerva Johnson, who still survives. Wilson T. also resides near to Franklin, Johnson County, Ind. He married Miss Mary Stevens, by whom he has had two sons, both of whom are living, and like their father are farmers. Sarah died in Johnson County, Ind., when about seventeen years old. As has already been stated, Prof. John Scherer Hougham was born in Fayette County, Ind., to which his parents had previously moved from Preble County, Ohio. When he was nine years of age the family removed from Fayette to Johnson County. Here, until eighteen years old, he assisted his father on the farm, and attended during the winter months a “subscription school,” in a log school-house with puncheon floor and seats, and greased paper windows. At the age of eighteen, with the rudiments of an education thus acquired, he began his career for himself as a district school teacher, and taught two terms, one of three and one of four months, in Shelby County, Ind. In March, 1840, being then nearly nineteen years of age, and desirous of still further advancing his education, he went to Crawfordsville and there entered the preparatory department of Wabash College. He continued a student at that institution, teaching during vacation to enable him to pay his board and tuition, until July 26, 1846, when he was graduated, receiving the degree of B.A. From college he went to Danville, Ind., and became principal of the Hendricks County Seminary, a position he retained until July, 1848. No 26, 1847, he was married to Miss Mary A. Knowlton, in Shelby County, which was the bride's home and the place of her birth. She was the daughter of Joshua and Eliza (Holmes) Knowlton, her father being a native of New York, and her mother of Connecticut. (See John Scherer Hougham for the rest of the biographical sketch).

History of Washington, Clay, and Riley Counties, Kansas, 1890, Chicago: Chapman Brothers, biographical sketch of John Scherer Hougham.
Prof. John Scherer Hougham was born in Fayette County, Indiana, to which his parents had previously moved from Preble County, Ohio. When he was nine years of age the family removed from Fayette to Johnson County. Here, until eighteen years old, he assisted his father on the farm, and attended during the winter months a “subscription school,” in a log school-house with puncheon floor and seats, and greased paper windows. At the age of eighteen, with the rudiments of an education thus acquired, he began his career for himself as a district school teacher, and taught two terms, one of three and one of four months, in Shelby County, Indiana. In March, 1840, being then nearly nineteen years of age, and desirous of still further advancing his education, he went to Crawfordsville and there entered the preparatory department of Wabash College. He continued a student at that institution, teaching during vacation to enable him to pay his board and tuition, until July 26, 1846, when he was graduated, receiving the degree of B.A. From college he went to Danville, Ind., and became principal of the Hendricks County Seminary, a position he retained until July, 1848. No 26, 1847, he was married to Miss Mary A. Knowlton, in Shelby County, which was the bride's home and the place of her birth. She was the daughter of Joshua and Eliza (Holmes) Knowlton, her father being a native of New York, and her mother of Connecticut.
Resigning his position as principal of the Hendricks County Seminary, in July, 1848, Prof. Hougham accepted that of Professor of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy in Franklin College, at Franklin, Indiana, which he held until the end of the civil year 1853, when he was transferred to the Chair of Agricultural Chemistry and kindred sciences, which he occupied till the spring of 1863. When he was thus transferred he asked and obtained a leave of absence for one year, which he spent in taking a post-graduate course in the Natural Sciences in Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island.
In 1863 the war made such a demand upon the patriotism of the country, to which demand no other State responded more promptly or liberally than did Indiana, that Franklin College suffered in consequence, contributing largely to the number of commissioned officers, besides her full quota of privates. Indeed, among the very first to respond to the call of the country were the college students, and their number dwindled away until but two wounded soldiers remained, and there being practically no students left to teach, Prof. Hougham requested and was granted an indefinite leave of absence. Leaving Franklin College he took active charge and oversight of his farms near Franklin, in which he remained until April, 1868, when he was offered and accepted the Chair of Agriculture in the Kansas State Agricultural College at Manhattan, Kan. At that time this State was comparatively poor, and the Agricultural College, a mere bantling compared with the present splendidly equipped institution and farm, and Prof. Hougham began his career as a member of its faculty under disadvantages, and amid obstacles to which the college is now happily a stranger. He brought to his new position thorough scholarship, wise judgment, good executive ability, and practical experience as an agriculturist, and cheerfully met and discharged its duties until April, 1872, when he resigned and accepted the Professorship of General and Analytical Chemistry, in Purdue University at LaFayette, Indiana, to which place he removed with his family, except his son Henry, who remained at Manhattan and occupied the family residence there.
Prof. Hougham continued a member of the faculty of Purdue University until July, 1876, and during the next four years he gave his time and attention principally to his own personal business. His monetary interests lay chiefly in farms and wild lands in Indiana, Iowa, Missouri and Kansas. Looking after these required no small amount of labor and care. In 1881 he returned to and resumed his residence near Manhattan. His wife, who was at that time afflicted with a cancer; died June 13, 1882. She was a woman of education and culture, a devout Christian, faithful to all her duties as a wife and mother, beloved by her husband and her children, and most highly esteemed by all who knew her.
Since resigning his position in Purdue University Prof. Hougham has had no regular connection with any educational institution. A man, however, of his broad culture, ripe scholarship and intellectual industry could not well refrain from work in the schools. In response to demands for his services he has, in the meantime, in addition to actively superintending and overseeing his farms and lands, delivered five courses of lectures on “Chemistry and Physics,” in Bethany College, Topeka; four courses on the same at Cooper Academy, Dayton, Ohio, and two at the Western Female Seminary at Oxford, Ohio.
In recognition of his learning and scholarship and of his marked ability as an educator, and without his seeking or solicitation he has had conferred upon him the degrees of M.A., by Wabash College, Ind., his Alma Mater, and that of LL.D. by Franklin College, to which, for fifteen years, he rendered valuable and highly appreciated services.
December 25, 1887, Prof. Hougham married his second wife, Miss Martha B. Curtis, a daughter of Jeremiah O. and Mary (Williamson) Curtis, who have for many years resided at Dayton, Ohio. Mr. Curtis belongs to the New England stock of that name, and Mr. Curtis is a descendant, through her mother, of the Pilgrims who landed in the Mayflower. Martha (Curtis) Hougham is a graduate from the Dayton High School with the class of 1871, and subsequently from Dayton Normal School, and she was for fourteen years a successful and highly esteemed teacher in the Central High School in that city. Of this second marriage one child, a little girl less than a year old, is a result.
By his first marriage Prof. Hougham became the father of five children—Julia, Eliza, Henry, Edward and Emma. Eliza and Henry are now living, the others having died in infancy and childhood. Eliza married the Rev. William H. Hickman, A.M., D.D., a minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church, for eleven years an itinerant in the Northwestern Indiana Conference, and during the last three years Presiding Elder for the Crawfordsville District in that conference. He has recently been elected to and accepted the Presidency of a school of colored students at Atlanta, Ga. President Hickman and wife have four children living; one son died in infancy. Henry, the surviving son of Prof. Hougham, is a carpenter and builder, residing in Manhattan. He married Miss Ella J. Whitney, and they have five children, all living.
Although a constant student, Prof. Hougham spends much of his time in the open air, being not only an experienced teacher, but a practical farmer. And during most of the twenty years he was at Franklin, Ind., he was both County and City Surveyor and Engineer, and devoted his “vacations” and “spare hours” largely to work on the field with compass, transit or level in hand. Indeed, he even now retains a set of surveyor's and engineer's instruments—made in his own ship—and as occasion calls for it, he uses them. His pleasant residence is surrounded by sixty-two acres of rich and carefully cultivated land, two miles northwest of Manhattan, and less than half a mile from the State Agricultural College. On this he has a large orchard and a fine vineyard, both just beginning to bear fruit, and he derives pleasure and profit from the raising of farm and orchard products. He also has larger farms elsewhere which receive his personal care and supervision from year to year. His residence, in the interior arrangements, bears evidence of woman's fine tough and taste, and the love and appreciation of what is best and most beautiful in art and in home adornment and decoration.
Prof. Hougham prizes beyond all monetary value his library, which consists of many carefully selected volumes of the best thoughts of the masters in ancient, mediaeval and modern times. These afford him pleasurable enjoyment, congenial companionship and profitable recreation, such as only the student, thinker and scholar can really know.
In the earlier years of his life Prof. Hougham was a Henry Clay Whig. After the Whig party passed away he became, and has since remained, a stanch Republican. He has never sought public office, having no taste for political life, and has contented himself with the simple exercise of the elective franchise whenever his duty as a citizen required it. Religiously, he is a Baptist, and has been a member of that church for nearly fifty years. He is a compact, firmly built man, of medium height, and fine nervous temperament. His keen blue eyes, ruddy cheek, elastic step, and remarkable freedom from the infirmities and inconveniences of age, still seem to deny that he is well advanced in the sixties.
It is not too much to say that Prof. Hougham is respected and esteemed by the people of Manhattan, and by those who know him elsewhere, as a man whose life has been an example to his fellowmen of honesty, temperance, frugality, industry, integrity and uprightness; and that they regard him as one who has constantly endeavored to make the world better for his presence in it.

Solomon Hougham (son of Solomon and Mary (Beake) Hougham)
1624: born Ash, Kent, England, christened at Barton Court.
27 July 1694: will written.
1696: sheriff of Kent.
16 Mar 1697/98: died unmarried, age 73, without issue.
23 Mar 1697/98: buried.
Sheriff of Kent, merchant of London.
Sought his fortune beyond seas, for King James' Charter to the Merchant Adventurers in 1617 had broken up the trade of the Kentish ports with the Low Countries. According to his tombstone in St. Mary's, Sandwich:
“Both the Indies, both the poles,
Nay, both the worlds, knew
His traffic, justice, and his bounty too.”
At all events, he managed to early acquire a good fortune, and at his last going beyond `seas' left his will sealed up `in his aunt's hands.'
Marian Hurley Pratt: “In his will he mentions `my nephew Charles, son of my brother Henry' (deceased), `my brother-in-law Thomas Harvey, my sister Ann, his wife, my nephews Solomon and Daniel Harvey, my niece Sarah Harvey, my cousin (Miss) Francis Pollard, Richard and Henry (not 21) sons of my nephew Charles Hougham, and my cousin John Eborn and his children, all other of my nephew Charles Hougham's children, and nephew Richard Harvey.' `To Solomon oldest son of my brother Henry Hougham, Barton Estate, St. Paul's, Fordwicke' (follows a long list of houses, land, etc.) on condition that all remains to oldest sons male heirs, failing males, to next son's male, and so on down and across to the tenth generation both down and across.'
Solomon lived like a Lord, even was called `Lord of the Manor' but his highest rank title could only be `Sir.' He had inherited and accumulated wealth, lived luxuriously, and was very liberal in his will of ten pages long, he made provisions for the elaborate marble tombstone in the chancel of St. Mary's at Sandwich, in memory there of his parents, self, and brother Richard. He also set aside for life forever 11L to be given each Sunday in penny loaves at 4 shillings a week to the poor after service, and 12 shillings at Christmas. This was observed every week from 1694 till about 1900 and would still be if his will had been adhered to. From 200 to 250 years passed by, then female heirs took possession and in 1936 the farm which provided the fund was cut into building lots and sold. The `Past was Forgotten.'
Great confusion and many lawsuits resulted when heirship passed from male to females, numerous claims and lawsuits followed, only four or five generations had gone by instead of the specified ten.
I have reported Solomon's will at great length because of its great genealogical value, especially as it clears up errors made by historians, which will arise as this record continues. By reference to it and an occasional chart, I will endeavour to identify as plainly as possible true relationships of descendants, many of whom, like myself, really knew nothing beyond the curtain of tradition who truly were their ancestors, and the printed errors only added to the confusion.”

Marian Hurley Pratt: “Historians all say Solomon D.S.P., which is an error. Fact is he did inherit and reside in Barton but according to Uncle Solomon's will 1697 only male heirs could inherit it — `reaching down or across 10 generations or moves' — the eldest always preferred first — so as Solomon only had 3 daughters, no males, he could not retain. So it passed to his brother Charles who by now had a son Charles who was next heir. So it was concluded `Solomon D.S.P.' Then a greater error followed when “A Forgotten Past” placed Solomon as son of William Hougham of London. Then one error leads to another so the Solomon Houghams wills and dates were mixed—applied to the wrong persons.”

Sarah was an heiress at age 9 with lands in Kent and London in will of her father. In 1727 her mother's will left all the silver plate for Sarah and her sister Mildred to share equally. Sarah was of Hackney, London. Samuel Tyssen owned a sugar plantation in Antigua and much property overseas. On 4 Jan 1748 the father Samuel was buried at Hackney; all his children were under age and Sarah was 40. Sarah was the sole executor of his will. He desired “to be buried in St. John's in daylight in decent and proper manner” (this peculiar request because of the torchlight funeral of his brother in 1717). Many of his relatives and friends shared his riches and numerous heirlooms, but to his children and wife his diamonds and jewelry.

Of Barton Court. Will 1726/60/181.
“Henry Hougham was married in the 25th October 1720. In the marriage licence, obtained on the 24th, he is described as of St. Sepulchre near Canterbury, bachelor. He was married at Hackington to Sarah Hunt, spinster, of the parish of St. Andrew, Canterbury, the following day...In the administration of his will mention is made of `Michael Hougham, natural son of the deceased, Edmund Hougham, Agricola, and Solomon Hougham of Ickhamwood, shovelmaker.'” His property was very extensive. William Hunt (Sarah's father) was an innholder and freeman of London in 1722. It was by marriage that Henry Hougham became freeman of Canterbury.
Henry was married two months before his father died. He died four or five years after marriage. Although he had but one child by Sarah, the administration of his will reveals one or more others. One of his brothers married the sister of his wife, another brother of his had a family, and according to lawsuits, a few years later the claimants of descendants by law of gavelkind both lawfully and otherwise born were many. Henry's will 1726/60/181.

In Hasted's, volume 11, p238: “At St. Mary Bredin's is vault for Mrs. Sarah Shrubsole, also for Mrs. Hannah R. Hougham and Henry Hougham of Barton Court.” From a marble tablet in chancel of St. Martin's: “In a vault beneath this marble are deposited the remains of Margaret Hannah Roberta, wife of William Hougham, esq. of Barton Court, who died 28 Sept 1755 in the 31st year of her age. Here also are deposited the remains of William Hougham esq., her husband, who died 30 Dec 1802.” Also from marble slab in chancel of St. Martin's, “To the memory of Mary 2nd wife of William Hougham, esq., who died without issue 8 Nov 1788 aged 70, and was the daughter of Charles Knowler and widow of Rev. John Brackenbury, esq. of Upper Deal, Kent, in which she is buried.” Mary Knowler willed L440 to William Hougham (see Berry's Kent Genealogies, p164). In his will William mentions a third wife Rebecca Austen, her brother Nathaniel of Margate, getn., and her sister Mary.
The Arms of Hougham, already quartered with Sanders and Brookes, had that of Corbett added in the marriage of his first wife.

24 Nov 1828: died without issue.
Of Barton Court. In the chancel of St. Martin's: “Near this place are deposited the remains of William Hougham esq. of Barton Court, Kent, many years an active magistrate of that county. He died 28th day of November A.D. 1828 aged 76. In the same vault lay interred Sarah, relict of the above William and only daughter of late Charles Robinson, esq., recorder of Canterbury. Having long lived, esteemed and respected, she departed this life at her residence, Barton Court, on 17 Jan 1839 in the 81st year of her age.” There are three different marriage dates applied to Sarah. The license says 12 Aug 1780 of St. Mary Magdalene, one of St. Paul's and one of St. Martin's.
Sarah had a memorial placed in the Tower of St. Mary Magdalene in memory of her father who died 31 Nov 1807 aged 75, on which is stated “erected by Sarah his only child who married William Hougham of Barton Court.”
Marian Hurley Pratt: “This ends this Branch of Hougham—and the Barton Estate passed into the Chesshyre family, via Catherine the sister of William who married Sandys and she being already deceased, to her daughter wife of Rev. Chesshyre.
How could this be after Solomon's will about male heirs etc. was so minutely detailed? I do not know. Two things I think. First, Henry in his Will 1726 said `wife Sarah sole executor—all to her and her heirs'—also Solomon had stressed lawfully begotten, Michael the `natural son' was not legally in line, added to this there were periods of time when law recognized rights of illegitimate children and periods not. There were certainly a great number of male relative living descendants both of Hougham and Harvey legally in line. Lawsuits began pouring in, from which much genealogical material can be extracted. Also more errors are made by historians and it is at this time when the Harvey family were seeking to establish their connection that the searcher inadvertently got an `undated, unsigned' MSS. and copied—error resulted—published, carried down through generations, and which is the reasons for this record. My own personal ancestry was all out of focus, I never found any publications exposing or correcting. Finally in 1956 I located wills I had been searching since 1923 and by them was able to trace the error as above.”

Bell and sons 1898: “The Anne Hougham, by whose will the monument was erected over Richard Hougham, is a very interesting personality in this history. She was five years old at her father's death, and must have remained with her mother after her second marriage to Thomas Hawke. She was fourteen years old when her brother Michael married Margaret Courthorpe in November 1615, when he was himself only nineteen years of age, and she was only seventeen years old when she assumed for the first time that title of Aunt Anne which she bore for so long and honourably throughout `the troubled times.'
At the foot of the tablet which Anne erected to her father and mother in Ash Church (surmounted by the arms of Hougham and Sanders) are the following lines, with the Hougham arms in a lozenge at their base:
“If grace and virtue hauve devised,
Here lies a maide interred who ne'er had died,
Her charity on earth she spent her love,
Hauen fitt onely for the Saints above.
Let these frail ashes a memento bee,
Her life a pattern and a legacy.”

Of Preston, Kent, England.
The family is named in the same order as the will, probably not by order of birth. They are truly located (by each other's wills to Parish registers) which leaves the impression of probably the sons were named first in their father's will, the mother being deceased. The family were all yeomen and undoubtedly of Preston. The registers of Preston were destroyed by fire in the vicarage in 1658 so anything previous to that time has to be gleaned from other sources, wills when possible and Henry's will is dated 1658.
Henry Huffam of Preston, yeoman, will 8 Feb 1658, photostat, abbreviated by Marian Hurley Pratt: “In the name of God, Amen, the 8th day of February 1658 A.D.

Elizabeth Hougham of Stourmouth, will dated 17 Feb 1766, probate 10 May 1793, P.P.R. Dodwell 259/1793: “The last will of me Elizabeth Hougham, of Stourmouth, Kent, spinster, whereas Gervis Hayward of Sandwich, hath purchased in his name, but with my proper money the sum of L900 capital stock in bank 4% annuities consolidated, in 1762, and has promised to be accountable to me for the same, and to pay me the dividends from time to time, and whereas I have the sum of L200 due and owing on two separate bonds making L1,100 in all.
I bequeath unto my loving sister Anne, the wife of John Bondfield of Monkton in the Isle of Thanet until my nephew John Bondfield become 21, then pay him L400, and to nephew Michael Bondfield L200.

no date: son John Brooke III born; married Magdaline Stothard; died without issue, in his will John Brooke II said, “To my godson John Hougham son of Richard Hougham.” He also mentioned, “Michael son of his cousin Michael Hougham.”
Marian Hurley Pratt: “At this time the Brooke property was inherited by John Hougham, godson of John Brooke and grandson of Stephen and Bennetta Brooke (deceased) Hougham via their son Richard.”
Marian Hurley Pratt: Letter dated 23 Nov 1933 from Edward Valentine and daughter Elizabeth C. M. Huffam: “The `John Huffam' in Charles Dickens' name was given him by his father because John Huffam had provided work for the Dickens family when they were hard up and had no other connection whatever.”
“Homes and friends of Huffam families and places portrayed on preceding page. Charles Dickens' history, life, and books are so well known and easily obtainable, it is a few less familiar items related here. In the Portsea registers he is recorded—christened 7 Feb 1812—Charles John Huffham Dickens, son of John Dickens and Elizabeth Barrow, his godfather, Christopher Huffam (1771-1839).
Events of youth Charles spent many weekends in London with the Huffams at Limehouse. John Huffam `formerly of Kent' was of Tooley St. But Charles loved Rochester, Kent, and Broadstairs. The compiler's (Marian Hurley Pratt) grandmother was also from the same place. She was born 1813, she and Charles Dickens played and grew up together. The York Gate, hewn out of the great rock was well known to both of them. People entered directly from the village through it onto the sands.
The Duchess of Kent with her little daughter Victoria also resided there and the village children loved to ride the same donkey she did—later Victoria became Queen of England, and these incidents get told to the children.
Now let us see why we link these village children and royalty. Grandma Hougham was only of the termed middle or working class, and as a boy Charles Dickens was very poor—at one time his father was `lodged' in `Marshalsea' or `Debtors Prison' for owing rent. There were eight children and Charles was the second and was `oldest son' so though he was very young he would go to his Godfather Huffam's to pick up odd jobs—even shining shoes, anything honest to help his mother—it was how he got his beginning as an author.
This menial work did not prevent him progressing, in fact it was a stimulus.
Queen Victoria was from Germany and had cousins and relatives who visited her in Kent. On 10 Mar 1863 Princess Alexandra of Denmark came to St. George's to be married (and crowned Queen of England later) because it was the Prince of Wales she was marrying.
Where was Charles Dickens at this time?
He was at the wedding. Soon after her marriage Queen Alexandra wrote in her notebook at Belvoir Castle a list of her preferences - ten of them - and for favorite author she put Charles Dickens. He died 9 June 1870. In `Kent, Past and Present' p141 the following: `In Rochester Cathedral is a Brass Tablet in memory of Charles Dickens who loved Rochester and all its buildings.' There is also a memorial stone at Westminster Abbey, where he was buried among the greatest. He had expressed a wish to be laid to rest in one of the quiet churchyards of Kent, either Cobham or at Shorne.”

Marian Hurley Pratt: “Timothy Blake Huffam was a wonderful old gentleman. He was 84 when, by correspondence, I made his acquaintance. He was active with a very alert mind, remarkable penmanship to his last days, age 91. Also artistic, many of his sketches and writings of early days found their way into the newspapers. For some time, a serial titled “My Many Yesteryears” had a prominent page. An extract: `In 1862 moved with parents from Yeovil to West Cowes, Isle of Weight.' It was whilst here his mother and baby sister died. `On 10 December 1868 Father bought a middle section of the Barque `Fanny' bound for New Zealand. After 130 days at sea, on 19 April 1867 we entered Blind Bay, New Zealand.' I (M.H.P.) have a whole diary of Timothy's life. But most eventful to both him and myself was the results of my first letter to him, seeking genealogy. This was a subject he had given no thought to. Then a thought—the old trunk stored out in the shed about sixty years ago—forgotten by everyone. He opened it, what a find—a diary of his father and uncle written in England, searching genealogy of their ancestors, from parish to parish, also documents, paper clippings, etc. For six years he and I exchanged notes and traced connections. The main of which is recorded in this record.”

Was Tradition is that his first wife was Mary Grant of Margate, that he was the father of John Huffam of Tooley St., and that he with his brothers Michael and Solomon left Margate for the City of London.
The registers differ slightly. The Michael mentioned married Susan Clark 30 Jan 1719 and resided at Bethnal Green, London (there is no Michael on registers of St. John).
On registers is Anne Foreman married 18 Jan 1764 to Stephen Huffam, widower and she died 12 Aug 1767, age 46. This Stephen appears to be the son of Stephen and Mary Grant. On registers is also Susanna Huffam married 31 Jan 1769 to John Sturges.
