THE HODGHTON FAMILY.
It is somewhat difficult to trace the birthplace of many of the
original settlers, who, in the early days, came to Nova Scotia, and
even the professional genealogist would find it next to impossible
to locate some of those in the old world.
With a, perhaps, laudable object in view the writer found it
necessary to make a research of the history of Captain Timothy
Houghton who together with his wife and three children left
Boston, Mass., Thursday, 30th July, 1759 and arrived at Chester,
Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia, August 4th in the same year.
This gentleman was born August 21st, 1727 in the town of Bolton
near the historical town of Lancaster, some thirty odd miles west
of Boston. He came of a race who had been soldiers in the old and
new worlds; his mother was Mary, daughter of Henry and great
grand daughter of Major Simon Will.ird in whose hands the early
Legislature of Massachusetts placed the command of various expe-
ditions against the marauding savages. The Major died at Charles-
ton April 25th, 1676, shortly after the massacn^ at and destruction
of Lancaster; he was the son of Kichard Wii.lard, Esquire, of
Horsmonden, Kent, England; born 1605; came to New England in
1634 with his wife, Mary Sharpe, and daughter Mary and settled
at Concord. Having been appointed in May 16.j7,one of the three
commissioners to or^er the affairs of Lancaster he was persuaded
by offers of land grants, to take up his residence there, which he
did in 1658. His second and third wives were Eliza and Mary
Dunster. Seventeen children were born to him, Josiah, Elizabeth,
Mary, Dorothy, Samuel 1640; Sarah, 1642; Abovehope, 1646:
Simon, 1649; Mary 2nd, 1653; Henry, 1655; John, 1656; Daniel,
1658 ; Josiah, 1661 ; Benjamin, 1665 ; Hannah, 1666 ; Jonathan, 1669
and a second Elizabeth.
Should anyone care to read the history of the Willard's, Farrar's,
Whitcomb's and Houghton's in America he or she may be referred
to the " Early Records of Lancaster, Mass.," by H. S. Nourse,
"Births, Marriages and Death Records of Lancaster, Mass, 1643 to
1850" " Military Annals of Lancaster, Mass," by H. S. Nourse,"|and
"Sketches of Lancaster, Mass," by J. Wiilard, Worcester 1826.

in Col. John Winjlows Regiment. In the Crivvn P.»int expeilitioii
August. 9th, 1755, he was adjutant in Col. Samuel Willard's, Regt.,
(his uncle). His rank of Captain he got in 1756 in Col. Bagley s
R'^.gb. In 1755 the Crown Point, Lake Champlain expedition was
inaugurated and a regiment of 800 men raised under the Colonelcy
of Samuel Willard, jr., whose Lieut. Col. was John Whitcomb, who
after the demise of Col. Willard, jr., took command of this regiment
of which Timothy Houghton was adjutant. In 1756 Captain
Timothy Houghton of Col. Jonathan Bagley's command led a
company largely recruited by his Lieut, from Waltham and New-
ton, Mass. While in the East Captain Houghton saw N. S. for the
first time and subsequently obtained 100,000 acres of land for him-
self and fifty two others, settled at Chester, where many of his
descendents are now and whence many migrated to all parts of the
world.
The Rnughtons were associated with many stirring events in
the old and new worlds, though it is not the intention of the writer
to attempt a historical sketch of the early English Houghtons, but
rather to furnish notes of the progenitors, of Captain Timothy
Houghton, who first came to New England in the early dayn, wliose
history is reckoned with the founders of New England, and whose
historj' to day individually fills many pagijs so interesting to the
antiquary and historian.
Without the history of others we would have little of our own
to relate, and it may be shown that the Houghton's were associated
incidentally with the founders of Canada also, though, perhaps,
only in the natural course of events, nevertheless singularly ; as a
coincidence, which may seem egotistical or perhaps asking credit
where none is due, it may be mentioned that the great French
explorer Champlain, in 1604 first saw Cape La Have, ascended the
river of that name, upon the right bank of which the writer was
born in 1857.
Captain Timothy Houghton was also acquainted with that
section of Lunenburg Co., had fought on the banks of L ike Cham-
plain na,med after and explored by the great Champlain, saw Port
Royal, once so web known to Champlaiu and many other points
were travoi'sed by them. In 1629 we find Champlain commandant
of the first fort at Quebec, having under hiin a hundred soldiers,
besides the friendly Indians. In this year Sir David Kirk sailed
his small fieet into the St. Lawrence, captured the fortifications at
Quebec, fed the garrison for several months and finally sailed away
to England with Champlaiu, whom ho took prisoner to London,
where he arrived 2 1st October. Neither Kirk no:- England gained
anything by this filibustering expedition.

The Houghton Family. 6
After makinj^ twelve voyages across the Atlantic Champlain
died, Deceinher 25th, 1035. In this year the "Abigail" 300 tons,
Captain Sir David Kirk's flagship again saded from London with
many passengers for New England, many of whom fled with their
families and servants becanseof the religious troubles then disturb-
ing old Eno[land.
Many of those who came out were Puritans and others had Puri-
tanical leanings and amongst thrse who sailed from London in the
"Abigail " was John Houghton, progenitor of Captain Timothy.
This gentleman was christened 19th May 1593 in St Mary's church
at Eaton Bray, BeiJfordshire where his father John Houghton was
buried 28th April 1618.
The following is a transcription of the passenger list: "20th
June, 1035, passenger from London to New England in ship
"Abigail" Hackwell, master, John Houghton 40 yeais old, certifi-
cate of his conformity from justices of the P» ace and minister Eaton
Bray in County Bedford, England
This gentleman did not remain in New England but returned to
England, after the troable had subsided, where he had left his
family. In those days, as now, it was and is the practice of many
to make a home in America for the fan.ily who came later.
December 24th 1024, John Hoiighton the son of John wno sailed
in the "Abigail" was born, he came to New England about the year
1651 or 2 with his wife Beatrix and son John, born 1650, and
Cousin Ralph Houghton with his wife Jane Ralph moved from
Waterton, near Boston, to Lancaster in 1652 at which place he had
been a leading man. He died at Milton, Mass, 15th April 1/05
aged 82; he was John's senior by about a year. See sketches of
Lancaster by J. Willard, Worcester 1826, page 88. John died at
Lancaster April 29th 1684. John jr, born in England in 1650
became the most prominent man of his day in Lancaster, he repre-
sented the town in the General Court from 1693 to 1724 inclusive.
He was commonly called justice Houghton and for a long time after
the town was built was the only mairistrate in the place. He was
(juite celebrated in this neighborhooti as a man of weight -itid influ-
ence, and was a very skillful conveyancer. Three ancient pear
trees planted by himself stand in front of the site of his house.
During the last twelve years of his life he was blind. He died
February 3rd, 1737 in the 87th year of hi.>-- age. The epitaphs on
his tomb stone and that of hi? wife are as follows:
Here lies buried | ye body of | John Houghtor | esquir, as you |
are so wf»re vve | as we are so | you will be | who died February j

The oldest date (1084) now to be found is that over the grave
of the first John Houghton of Lnneaster.
The practice of marking graves by inscribed headstones p'c-
V»ably did not begin until after the massacre of Lancaster in 107(5
and resettlement thereof, one apparei t exception being that of ivlrs.
Dorothy' Prescott, who diw' in 1074, wife of Jonathen son of John
Prescott and Mary Platts, who came from Lancushire England,
progenitor of the Capt Prescott hero of Chester who gained a
victory over the pirates in 1782 without firing shot or shell. This
incident is related by the historian, Jud(»o Desbresay, in his first
history of Luntnbur^ County. A similar victory was won at
Chester by Capt.iin Jacob Millett, this officer dressed his -^eiixh-
bours, wives and children up in all the scarlet cloaks obtainable,
mustered them in a prominent position for the benefit of the
privateer who believed them to have been regulars and conse-
quently the attack was never made.

Timothy.

Peter Keizer, who married Annio V^iu^han the great grand
daughter of Captain Timothy Houghton, was the son of Michael
and grandson of George who, together with his wife Frederica and
son Michael came to Lunenburg from Phaltz, Rh.^niish Barvaria,
Germany in 1753. The two orothers, who accompanied George,
went to Pennsylvania wher-e their descendents are to-day. During
a term in an educaticn'ij institute near Phihidelphia a brother of
the writers met a Dr. Keizer, who had descended from one of those
above mentioned who claimed relation !hip.
During one of the Indian raids, aided and abeeted by the
French, (Acadians), one of the Germain settlers of Lunenburg,
George Keizer, lost his life. When the massacre's seemed to have
ceased George believed the time propetioUs to build on his grant in
the North West, some four miles from Lunenburg Town, and on a
day when his house was nearly finished he was suddenly surround-
ed by the Indians, who had watched his operations, whom he
discovered none to soon and Heeinir for his life, with the howling
devils after him, he reached Lunenburg exhausted, where he died
nine days afterwards, but whether from wounds or exhaustion is
not known to the writer. Perhaps then- are those living who can
tell? George had foui- childien, Michac^l, John, Jacob and Mary,
who married John 8cwoinheimer son of Philip the '.friginal grantee
of that name: John and Jacob settled at Rosebay and Kingsbury.
Michael was five year's old on their arrival at Lunenburg in 1753,
he married Hannah Weiler about the year 1770, obtinning a con-
sider'able ^lant of land at West Chester he i'emove<l thence wher'e
hd died in 1848 at about one hun'^red vears old, Michael, follitw-
ing the example of his predecessors became wealthy. The lands
once held by him bordering on Chester Ba}- are now divided into a
dozen farms, having almost all gone out of the fiinn'ly besides land
situated on the Windsor ro-id once owned l)y him, is now held by
others. Michael built and owned the lii'st brig ever built at Chester
Bay. At one time he ov/ned two brigs and a schooner which he
sent annually to Labr'ador whei'e he owned saliiujn fishing bei'ths
Being a navigator himself he often went there us niiister of one of
his vessels. The salmon wer'e i-o abundant in those days that

coffer at every trip he soon amased a fortune, but misfortune soon
overtook him. One after the other of his vessels were lost, his
roomy house, tine for thos<' days, at West Chester, burnt to the
ground and the law suit with Capt. Jacob Millett, his son-in-law,
nearly ruined him, so that when his will was made only moderate
behests were obtained by his sons and daughters. His cnildreu
were John and George who died young ; Jacob married Lucy
Vaughau; Michxel married Susan Sawlor ; Peter married Annie
Vaughan ; Henry married Elizabeth Hiltz (Hildz); Sarah married
Jacob Millett ; Lucy married George Rafuse (Rufus) and Hannah
married Peter Hiltz.
The name "Keizer" «pelt only once in the original grant "Keiz-
zer" is more frequently spelt as above, though recently for brevity
thus, "Kizer." The origin of the word is from the Greek "Caisar,"
in German Kaiser, pronounced (Kizer) and in Holland spelt "Keizer."
The transuiistiion of the present spelling is. due to John Dick («.
Dutchman of Amsterdam, the British immigration agent who prior
to 1753 was locatid at Frankford whose aavice as to the disposal
of their lands and household good, was the srreat discomfort of
many who crossed the Atlantic and death to not a few Dick re-
ceived from the British government a guinea for each immigrant
he sent, hence the crowding of the passeoger ships. Trier (Treves)
once the ancient city of Agustus and the centre of Roman civiliza-
tion is situated but sixty miles west of the birthplace of George
Keezer and it is not difficu't to comprehend why so many German
names are of Roman origin. In the fourth century six liiilitiary
roads diverged from Augusta, branching off in various directions ;
those towards the Rhine (Rhenus) river connected with the military
road running from Switzerland along the west bank of the Rhine
to the German ocean consequently Rhemish Bavaria (Treviri and
Medioma Trici) were well settled by the Roman who were not quite
so successful in colonizing north and east of the Rhine. The
defence of the Rhine is not a recent thing with the Germans, " Die
Wacht Am Rhein" originated long ere this battle song was written.
The date of che foundation of the Roman colony (colonia Augusta
Trevirorum) is involved in obscuritj. At the time of the Batavian
insurrection (A. D. 70) we rind a flourishing city, and Tacitus
describes a fierce night battle between the insurgents and the
legions which took placo under the walls and on the bridge of
Treves, which still spans the Moselle (Mosella). Besides the bridge
but few monuments remain intact, the aqueduct, the amphitheatre
and the remarkable obelisk of the Secundi family at Igel. The
Igel monument is :• tower like structure of sandstone, seventy-three
feet high beautifully sculptured and wonderfully preserved It

dates from the second century. Tlio ruins of amphitheatres, villas,
palacps, an I other structures are fouid along those Roman ronds.
Of this capit"! of the Konuin Empire of the west the monkish
chronicles elaborated a mythical historj-, according to which Treves
was far more ancient than the mushroom city by the Tiber, whicii
she firmlly snpplanted as the capita" ot the Western world, and
nccordiiig to tliem Treves was founded, 12.50 years before the
'•uilding of Rome, and called Trevi)-is, after the name of its founder
in the year 2004 l)efore Christ, when the Patriarch Abraham was
seven years old.
Xotwithstanding the things written about this ancient city and
provinc s th*> fact reniains, that Rhemish Bavaria seveial centuries
A.D. was thickly populatid by the Romans. While the lews in
Itlurope only took surnames in modern tim"'s, the Germans have
used them more or less from the founding of Augustus Treves
where once lived Roman Emperors.

place from Chester, Nova Scotia, whose father John, the United
Empire Loyalist, came from Boston, settled at Chester and married
Unice the daughter George Millett and Mary Houghton, the daugh-

Joseph Nelson Verge married Amelia, daughter of Dr Charle?
La Hi Hois, a French surgeon MiMJor in the " Grande Armee " of Na-
poleon the 1st. Young Dr. Charles now posses.ses the medal of St.
Helena, vhich was won by his jjreat grandfather, La Billois, for his
services iii the " Grai)de Armee."
The progenitor of John, the U E. L., came to New England
during the Puritanical troubles in England. Their original fatnily
.seat was named the " Green Bay Tree," near Wooliwch, from which
their progenitor tied to Christehurch, Hants, whence he sailed for
the New World, leaving his all behind, rather than to undergo the
prevailing persecution.
Many old legends are attached to their ancient mansion called
tlie " (ireen Bay Tree," !«et forth in the MSS. now held by young
Dr. Charles, which affords material for a strangely fascinating
novel, which W(* hope J)r. Charles will .*ome day find time to give
t(» the world. 'I he incidents are as romantic as those n.ssociated
with the Heiress of Hodc'on (Dorothy Vernon) or the J>aughter
lof the H(juse of Storeton, who irave her fieart to young
llStanley, with v; hom she eloped, to escape the misery of a
Tforced marriajje with one for whom she had no love. While a
ib:inquet was buing given to her father, she stole unobservfd away,
Jand, bemg joined by 3"oung William Stanley, rode swiftly acro.ss the
IcDuntry to Astbury chuich,_ wh'M'o, in the presence of Adam de
jHoton (Houghton) and dame de Coupeland, the anxious lovers
Spliifhted their troth to each otln^r.
M This occurred ■27th Septeiiilier, 1282 l)etween Joan, daughter of
IPhilip de Bamville and Williim the son of .Master John de Stanley
|und '^dam de Hoton One of the witnesses to the ceremony was of
Jie ancient hon.se of Hought')n, who descended from Joo Taylbnys,
Joiint of Anjou and Baron Kemlal. wIxjsh wife, I^ucia, was sister of
[Edwin and Morcar, Karls of Xorthuml'iia, at the tiiiu' of the con-
uest. From tlii.S' union says the i)edii,ree, desoended Houghton of
Houghton. It was at Houghton Tower that King James knightetj
he loin of beef, aii'i knighted many gentlenu'ii and granteil tfit; peo-

made by King James 16th August, 1618, at Houghton Tower, built
by Thomas Houghton in Elizabeth's time. This tower crowns a
high hill, from which the perspect on clear (Jays ranges from tlu
Old Man of Corniston to the Great Orme's Head, in Caernarvon

D. A. Keizkk.
The true origin of many surnames is shrouded in mistery,
though we are told that occupation, location, trait of character, and
achievements are accountable for the vast nun»ber of different
ftames extant.
It won-d seem that the name Houghton originated in Lanca-
shire, though some writers on the .nubjfct say that the origitial of
the name came to England " with Wiliiim the Conqueror." The
latter is a " stock" phrase used by many who are really not entitled
to use it, and much to the d .trinieiit of the fe v who prove them-
selves worthy, in a genaalogical way, of the honor by the 'ictua)
achievements of their illustrious ancestors.
Houghton seems ot Anglo-Saxon origin, and composed of two
words, signifying " high town," some writers say. In the German
language high" is written " hoch," and pronounced "hok"; in
the present English word we find " hough " pronounced " hok,"
meaning the lower part of the thigh ; in the present English sur-
name " hough " is pronounced " huff." A century after the Nor-
man conquest we find the name written Hocton, and later Hoton,
Hooton, Haughton, and Hoghton. In Anglo-Saxon we find the
word " hough " pronounced " hok " and " ho," meaning the heel or
the hough. In the present ancient and noble house of Houghton,
of Lancashire, the name is pronounced " Hoton ;" " ton," on Anglo-
Saxon has various meanings ; in French meaning fashion. Town,
in A.-S., is pronounced " tun," meanmg inclosure, garden, house,
village, town ; in Icelandic " tun," in German "zun," etc. We also
find the name written Howton, pronounced " Hawton," and also
spelt in the latter way. However, the name is said to have orig-
inated from the name of the lands originally owned by their early
possessors in Lancashire, from which county the family spread all

over the world, and tc-day we find villages towns, etc., named;
Little Houghton, Great Houghton, Houghton Tower, several
Houghton Halls, Hought )n Park, Houghton Regis, Houghton Coo-
<juest. Houghton Gieen, Houghton-in-the-Dale, Houghton Woods,
Houghton Streets, etc., in Lancashire, Bedtordshive, Northampton,
Huntingdon, Norfolk, Northumberland, Westmorland, Hants, etc.
John Houghton, who came to New Kngland in 1635, in the
■" Abigail," was in the years 1629 and 1630 Churchwarden of St.
Mary's Church, Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire. During his wa«-denship
the tower of this anchient church was repaired. Herewith aro
given views of the ancient edirtce, kindly forwarded the writer by
Mr. Sutton, the Vicar of St. Mary's, under the direction of Bishop
Ely, of London. This ancient church, built in the beginning of che
I2th century (1205), was repaired in 1893, but the towar has be«n
untouched, and needs repairs. Both, the Bishop Ely and Vicar, Mr.
Sutton, think that, were the descendants of John Houghton to now
come forward with donations for the repairing of the tower, it
would, indeed, be a " graceful act," and that a brass in memory of
John Houghton would be fa«!tened in the walls of St. Mary's as a
recognition cf his worth, and in appreciation of his descendants.
Therefore the object is so prai.se <vorthy and distinguishing, that the
descendants ought to use every effort to provide for the said re-
pairs. Few descendants of the early settlers have had such an
opportunity to distinguish themselves, and the chance should not
be allowed to slip. The kindness of the Vicar aud Bishop Ely, in
furthering the genealogical inquiry, shall never be forgotten, and
we ought to, by all mf-ans, show our npprociation.

EATON BRAY.
iai2 PARISH CHURCH.
The following paper on St. Mary's Church, Eaton Bray, was
raad by Canon Davys at a recent visit there of the St. Albans
Architecturni and Archaeological Society : —
Placed in a vale of singular beauty, reminding us from sonifi aspects of a' fertile plain
in France, it stands hidden among poplars, and in a kind of islet of rural foliage,
one of the most beautiful examples to be found in "lur country of the best periods
of the architecture of England. Few would look for such a church in such a now
apparently depressed and straggling village, and the .surprise is the greater, therefore,
when such hidden beauties are disoov«red. But, alas ! the structure upon which a
wealth of skill and an abundance of mon^y must have been spent in days gone by i<
now but scarcely distinguishable from a ruin. We approach it, and we see, to our sor-
low, the northern walls of an interesting chapel, and a remarkable aisle, only sustained
by shores of timber, while the western tower, in which the remains or some of the finest
blocks thai the neighbouring stone-mines of Tottenhoe could produce arc still visible,
has had its western face removed to prevent a collapse, .which it was ftared might over-
whelm the congipgation . We have heard of late years yi'ry much said forand against
the resloratiou of churchesj those of us who have been engaged in such Undertiking-
have had a storm of criticism to meet from objectors both in and out of th^ architec-
tural profe.ssion, but 1 think that even the committee of the "Society for the Preserva-
tion of Ancient Monuments," who .seem at timea, and^dbubtless justly, to considers
•• restoration " only another name for destruction, would be satisfied to .nave at least a
" restoration ' imperatively demanded — a restoration, however, which must be conduct-
ed in the most conservative spirit, and with the tenderest care, for we have here an
••ancient monument" .which illustrates in a. remarkable m.auner two of our chief
architectural si_, ies — the Eai'ly En;;li.sh and the Perpendicular— and. tlie early English
work is of strange beauty and remarkable variety. The northern arcade of five deeply
moulded arches, rising from clustered columns cf beautifully engaged shafts, eight in
number, .and terminating with capitals of the richest foliage of that period, i.s, as far as
I know unsurpassed by the work in any country church in England, and \v« must go to
Salisbury, Ely, and Lincoln to see anything on a more richly devised, plan. The south-
ern arcade is plainer, with piers of a simpb octagonal form, aiwl. it reminds us of tha
work in the beautiful Church at Flamst^ad which we have visited and illustrated in our
transactions. The grand corbels of foliage oft which the, arcade terminates east and
west are worthy of Ely, and the later designsrs probAbly did hot wish them to be un-
worthy of their noble companion on the north west. It. would appear that the enrliest
and finest work which we have here is on the northern side, and that the church was
originallj designed for a northern aisle only, but that the design very shortly received
the addition of a south asile, side chnpels, and noith and south porcln's. Of course,
the attention of all visitors to the church is first engrossed hy the northern arcade, but
on close examination it .seems to stand alone a.s a portioii of the first design— a design of
extraonliiiary ambition, reminding one of John de Celia's projects at St. Albans, who
might well have had a contempoinry rival in the ai;chitect of Eaton Bray. For, if we
examine tiie north face of this arcade, we. sJiall observe Irom the springers that a vaulted
aisle of rem ukable richni'ss formed ])art of thefirst architect's intentions, an aisln ap-
parently soon superseded by a plainer and more economical structure, on the wall of
which corbels were placed to carry half-arches, to take, in the manner of flying buttres-
.-es, OH at Lutoii clunch, the northern thrust of the original ii.cade. I f,m interested in
II window in this new north aisle wall; it may wive the key, if proved to be original, to
the history of this part of the structure; it is, as you will observe, square -heided, with
two lights, having Early Decorated heads, and externally surrounded by mouldings

which we shoulil take to be Decorated (the next window to it is simply a make-up
imitation); but if we can go by this window we could assert that the north wall is
nearly a century later than the north arcade, and was then put "P by an architect gifted
less with artistic genius than with business capacity. The church thus completed —
say about the year 1,300, would consist of new north and south aisles, developing into
chapels towards the east, north and south porches, with a western towc and chancel —
in fHct, with the ground plan as we now see it. But a clerestory of the late Decorated
work Wi!8 S' on added, and what was at first a high-pitched roof was probably brought
down to much nhcnt its present level, No pains nr expense seem to have been spared
upon the furniture of the elmrch, if we only jutlge from the iron-work of the south door
This marvellous example of the skill of a uiediaival smith has companions believed to
have been made by the same hand at Turvey and Leighton Buzzard, at which latter
town the artiet is believed to have resided. The Perpendicular ])eriod came in its
order, and brought with it the usual changes in the church. The chancel, again lately
restored by the present rectorial impropriators and patrons of the living — the Master
and Fellows of Trinity (.'ollege, Cambridge — was then remodelled, some former Early
English details being worked up, as seen in the piscina shafts at tlie high alter, but the
grandest of the reconstructions is to be se^n, where we should indeed naturally look for
it, in the memorial chapel in the south aisle. There one of the most beautiful rer^dos
arrangements of the period is before us, which we see now furnished with an alter again
and used as a morning chapel. An arrangement of the s ime kind appears to have been
attempted in the now ruined chapel on tlie north side. These were, n ;ither of them, I
consider. Lady Chapels, the high alter, as in the Cistercian Abbeys and all other
churches d'-dicated like them to St. Mary, taking the place of the usual Lady Alter. I
have thus biiefly gone <. cr liis rl>i"f architectural features of this remarkable church, as
We now see them, but i hnvt b ,. favoured by the vicar with a sight of the report upon
its present sad condition by j.^. iidis, the architect who has been consulted as to its
restoration, and 1 observe in this docum.^nt same most interesting historical allusions,
which I sliali venture to make use of, as they appear to throw important light upon the
architectural periods of the structure. I f.nd that the manor was originally granted by
King John to Adolphus di Braci, and I feel no hesitation in referring to the time of this
fortunate courtitr the right royal work of the northern arcade ; he and his family could
easily obtain the best architectural advice from Dunstable and St. Albans, at which
latter Abbey the grand conceptions of John de Celia were at this time taking form, iml
we have therefore a valuable date, say from 1205 to 1210, at whicii to place this mag-
nificent example of the La-icet period. In 1273 thia manor passed to the family of
Zouch, and 1 have no doubt that soon after this time the work whicli we should refer to
the Geometrical or very early decorative period was undertaken. L^nable, either from
want of funds, or want of zeal, to complete the church as the De Bracis had begun it,
W" find the econoiiiicnl expedients to which 1 have drawn attention in the north aisle
wall resorted to. To the times of the family who were Lords, not only of the manor,
but of the neighboring castle, we must also refer the addition of the latter Decorated
clerestory and the lowering of the pitch roof, for they appear to have bei-n in possession
of the manor till 1471, when Katherine, widow of William Lord Zouch, died, siezed of
it. It will later appear to have been forfeited by attainder, and granted in 1513 to Sir
Keginald Bray, who belonged*to a family of conseiiuence in she country for many years,
ranging from 1289 to the end of the sixteenth century. (,ne member of it, Heginuld
Bray, wis knight of the shire in 1312, and another, Edmund de Bray, miiiisttr of
Henry VII There is a very fine brass, with an altar tomli IkIow it, now in the
chancel, in memory of Jane, wife of Edward Lord Bray, datetl 1558 A very inten'st*

Eaton Bray Castle. This has been since removed bv a faculty obtained by Lord Biay,
in tlie time of the last. vicar. The parish appears to ha'-e been well known as Eaton
Bray in the reign of Edward VI. To tlu; Bray family, then, during the earliest iioition
of their occupation, we must refer the perpeiidicuhir work in thischuieh. The mai.orial

altar, orected probably about thfi time when Abbot Ttamridge ruled at St. Albaus, and
80 nearly coeval with his own magnificent monumental shrine, is a note-worthy mem-
orial of the work ot that eleborate pi^riod, while the side window, debased in its archi-
tiLtural character, would bring us down to the date of the chancel brass aud the days
of yueen Elizabeth. I have spoken longer than I intended, but I have done my best
to condense into the shortest possible form my notes on this most interesting church,
and 1 can only hope that the visit of our society here to-day will not be without its
value in causing its beauties to be better known, and its present deplorable condition
to be so reported upon as to awaken the sympathy and generosity of all those who are in-
terested in the canful preservation of the magnificent works of our medifeval forefathers.
If it is right that one section of the people 'nore than another
should receive special attention, the latter should be extended to
the descendants of the United Empire Loyalists, who are, to-day,
the back-bone of Canada, representing, with soundness, every voca-
tion in Canada. Where can be found a more noble example of
self denial than that exhibited by Charles Cnurch, the United Em-
pire Loyalist, who refused commissions, on se^ and on land, when
tempted to fight against his king ? He came with the Loyalists to
Shelburne in 1783, then to Dover, and finally to Chester. He left
everything behind in Rhode Island, where Charles Lot Church, his
son, was born 13th March, 1777, who married Hannah Millett, the
grand daughtf^.r of Captain Timothy Houghton.
When asked to send his claim for losses to Halifax, Charles
Church replied : " I cannot add to the loss the British government
has already sustained."
Th'^ history of the good work done for Nova Scotia by the
Hon Charles Lot Church is well known to the peopie of this prov-
Members of the Church family have distinguished them-
ince.
selves from time almost immemorial. The historian. Judge
Desbresay, writes but a small portion portion of the history of this
family in his History of Lunenburg County.
The present Hon. Charles E. Church came of Puritan stock,
•vhose progenitor lended in New England several generations be-
fore Charles, the U. E. L., came to Chester. The name is English,
and is found in Essex, Middlesex, Sussex, and Lancashire.
The achievements of the various branches of the family is evi-
denced by six different crests held by tire different collateral
branches of the family,
W^ith several exceptions the Houghton family is distinguished
by the same crest, si\\f} to have originated with the Bulmers of
Durham, a very ancient English family, though this assertion is
doubtful.
Ivo Talyboys was excee(iingly fond of cattle, so much so, that
he generally claimed them ^vith the manors granted him by " Wil-
/iam " ; and, therefore, it is rot difficult to surmise how the " bull "

formed the crest of the Houghtons originally', ami that of the
Nevills also.
The name " Bremner " is found is Spey, Scotland, and England.
Four different crests embrace the achievements of the several
♦tranches of this family, and perhaps the seal now held by a mem-
ber of the family in Halifax indicates, from the motto enscribed
thereon, that the family came from Devonshire, England. The
motto in question is " A la verite."
The various branches jof the Allen family are distinguished by
«ome thirty-odd family crests. Those mentioned in the accompany-
ing pedigrees are descended of U. E. L. stock. The late Ambrose
Allen was considered as amongst Halifax's best citizens. The
Milletts w^re also United Empire Ijoyalists, whose progenitor came
from England. Branches of this family still remain in the counties

In addition to the forefjoincj the following names are also asso-
ciated wii.h the Houghton family. An attempt is made herein to
name the nationality of those concerned, so that when genealogical
societies are formed in Nova Scotia, similar to those in man" of
the New England States, the few short notes may be of service to
those who care to follow, or hunt up, their f.ncestry. Genealogy is
not only an interresting study in itself, but one from which histor-
ians often make their heaviest drafts to obtain the matter so
necessary for the detail in their writings : —

The following amusing conversation was, some years ago, over--
heard by the writer, which illustrates tli« peculiar ideas tf soih«
people : —
Gentleman — "Arc you related to the Bowskirks f'
Lady — " Oh no! They are the Bowskirks, and we are the Van
Bowskirks."
The lady's answer settled the question, for nothing more Was
said about it; but the real fact is, while one brother dropped the
titular prefix, the other, very properly, retained it, thus giving the
grand-daughter-in-law the opportunity of playing " le yrnnde
•dame" (?) Such silliness is too often displajed— not, of course, to
the advantaoro of the stilted, — and there is little doubt that the
VanBewskirks originated from the plain Herr Bowskirk, that the
Bowskirks, Smiths, Jones, and so on, all descended from old father
Adam; and .so the good, bid, rich, poor, uneducated and educated
Bowskirks all came from the same .stock.
In many of the New Kngland States genealogical societies
have been establi.shed, which afford much of that which had been
lackmg in society, interesting young and old in the history of their
present and the mother country, which, ra>re than anything else,
tends to strengthen the ties between Old and New England.
The feudal arguments, often brouglit up by the rising genera-
ion several years ago, are, by a closer study of ancestry, being
relegated to the shades. It has been all powerful in recent years

in inviting friendly intercourse between the two great natious, and
too mnch cannot be done in this way ; in fact it cannot be over*
done. It renders the troubles of a century ago, after all, but a
family dispute, and one which can be easily avoided in the future
—a proof of our higher civilization.
The Society of Colonial Wars of New England, whose members
live in Halifax and elsewhere in Canada, came to Nova Scotia to-
pay their respects to their dead and to our dead, and it is be hoped
that the objections then taken will never again .,ccur. ,
The recent visit of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery to
England is still fresh in our mind;!. England wants the people of
the United States to forget the past, and why should they not ?
They had, and have, the best of the struggle, and ought to show
magnanimity which, for a time only, can>e from England j but
the change has come, and to stay.
Ha if&x possesses an Historical Society, in which some genea-
logical work has b6en done, and the society would be greatly
benefitted by encouraging it There are thousands of descendants
of the United Empire Loyalist, who came to No^'a Scotia empover-
ished, though noble in their acts of loyalty towards the mother
country, and it is to those, for the greater part, the society may
look for items of historical value.
The idea in arranging the naines of the descendo.nts and con-
nections cf the Houghtons in alphabetical order, with short notes,
is to give those concerhed an idea as to what counties or places ii>
the old world their fore-bears may have come from, thereby aiding
those interested in genealogy to continue the work.
Business prevented a number of families sending their notes,
fixid therefore where omi.isions of mention is noticed, it is because
of the above-mentioned fact ; though if through any oversight of
the collector names have been omitted, it shall be m^de right later
on. The Houghton Mi.scellany may be published later on, if a
sufficient number of subscribers can be obtained to pay the cost of
printing, and a very interresting one might be made of it, if the
various families named in the forejjoing list were to send in their
family histories
