• Notes

  John Houghtaling, one of the first settlers of Worth, moved his family here (Jefferson Co., NY) with an ox-team in 1802, and located on the farm now occupied by his grandson, Charles Houghtaling. He reared a large family, of whom Peter, Simeon, and William died in Worth. (From Pioneers of Jefferson Co., New York). Worth was set off from Lorraine, in 1813. The families of Bullock, Case, Gillet and Houghtailing are some of the names of those who were there in 1802. Population 545. - From early Jefferson Co. NY we find; HOUGHTALING, HUGH of WORTH HOUGHTAILING, JAMES of WORTH HOUGHTAILING, JOHN of WORTH HOUGHTAILING, SIMEON of WORTH HOUGHTAILING, WILLIAM of WORTH - The 1800 census indicated John was living in German Flatts, Herkimer Co., New York as follows; Males: 2 age 0 to 10 1 age 26 to 45 Females: 1 age 26 to 45 John's neighbor could be a near relative of Elizabeth (Alger) John's wife, he went by the name Stoughton Aulger. - The 1820 Census shows John and William living in Lorraine, Jefferson Co., New York, next door to one another. John : 0,1,0,0,0,1,2,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,0 William: 0,0,0,2,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,1,0,0 - The 1830 Census finds, John William, & James in Lorraine.

John and William are known to have migrated west to Wisconsin. - John appears on the 1850 Census in Farmington, Jefferson Co., Wisconsin, (Roll 1000 Book 1, Page 101b), as a 94 year old, born in New York. He was living in the home of his daughter Clarissa Tracy, age 33, her husband Hiram, age 41, and their family. John's wife was not enumerated with them, having presumably died earlier. Inidcated in the birth locations of their children is that the family moved from New York to Wisconsin between 1841 and 1844. - NOTE: Hiram Tracy and William Houghtailing lived next door to each other on the 1840 Lorrain, Jefferson Co., New York census. John appears in the same town 2 pages later, living next door to his son Peter Houghtailing. (recorded as Houghtail). - John apparently lived to the great age of 103, and died September 1, 1859.
