DuplicateMLM gives Anna as married to James Robbins9
ResearchI went on Family Search and there are several references to an Anna Houghton married to James Robinson in 1799 at Lancaster MA. But, in the Lancaster MA VRs by Nourse, there is no James Robinson listed, only a James Robbins/Robins, who married a Nancy Houghton in Lancaster MA on 13 June 1799. There are also several refernces on Ancestry.Com to Anna Houghton, dau. of Phinehas and Ruth, who married a Solomon Corliss, 26 apr 1792 Shrewsbury MA.
This is still a puzzle.

ResearchJudith Ansell: LUCY HOUGHTON (perhaps, not yet documented as a child belonging to this family. However, I strongly suspect that she is a sister to Hiram Houghton above) she was born 11 Feb, 1810 NY

Note: I have no conclusive proof that Lucy is the daughter of James Houghton and Lydia Douglass, this is based on a conclusion developed over many years of research. It should not be passed on but only used as a source for continued research.
