Houghs in Barry Co., Michigan
My greatgrandfather (Lewis Henry Hough) was informally adopted by a Hough family after his mother, Anna Rhodes, wife of Absalom Rhodes, died in 1871 in Woodland, Barry Co., Michigan.Family history says, "Houghs of Allegan took in 5 yr. old Lewis Henry and younger siblings Daniel Taylor, and Sarah Eva."
I wish to learn more about the Houghs and their ancestry! Here is what I know:
- a Joseph Hough (b. abt. 1820 Ohio) lived in Woodland, Barry Co., Michigan with wife, Fanny (b. abt. 1821 Ohio) with children Joseph Jr. (b. 1844 Ohio), Christian (b. 1846 Ohio), Samantha (b. 1851 Pennsylvania), and ?Aphorella? (b. 1856 Ohio).
- Both Joseph Sr. and Joseph Jr. worked as blacksmiths as did my ggrandfather.
- a biography on this forum tells much of the son Chris! (Thank You!)
- The family tracks from Germany to Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Michigan (as do so many, I;m finding!)
Any informations or ideas of where to continue searching would be much appreciated!
