Abijah Houghton Entered his intentions of marriage with Alles Joslin March -- 1746.
↑ Source:Houghton, John Wesley. Houghton Genealogy, p. 322, shows a child "Abel, b. 1756". This is the sum total of information given for Abel. No birth or baptism record is found. One lineage here identifies this Abel as the person who m. (int.) 1778 Rebecca Willard, and d. 1823. His death is found in Princeton 1823 age 66, so born about 1757. But no evidence connecting him to the family of Abijah and Zilpha has been found.
