Phyllis..
Our Mary Amy married Joel Houghton, the
son of Ebenezer Houghton, who fought in the
Revolutionary War, and his cousin Hadassah
Houghton (their grandfathers were brothers).
I do not have a date of birth for Mary Amy
but I would guess that it would be some time
after the war. Captain Cyrus Houghton, the
father of Ebenezer, left Bolton, MA near
Lancaster and moved to Putney, Windham,VT
with his wife Merriam Butler (Houghton)
after a terrible indian massacre.
I am descended from a lot of Loyalists who
went to Canada, so I know what you mean.
Most of them ended up in New Brunswick or
Ontario.One of my ancestors, Sir James
Cockburn, was a captain on the British
side in the Revolutionary War.
Our family records of my husbands do not
mention the names of Mary Amy's parents.
I am trying to find her family in Putney,
Windham, Vermont.
Thanks for writing.
