[Note: the memorial page lists the age as 88 despite the gravestone saying 87. This appears to be based on an erroneous birth date of 24 Oct 1770, also shown on the memorial page, which comes from birth record for the daughter, Marcy, of Joseph and Susanna (Brooks) Houghton, a separate couple in Bolton.]
