J? (1806 - ), Nathaniel (1811 - ), Emma/Ruhama (1814-); (possibly more but unreadable). None of children listed in JWH (Richardson, James, Catherine, Manassah and Charles) are listed in it.7,20

ProblemEphraim's RGW Pension records give children that are different than those given by JW Houghton; The children in the Pension appear to be the correct ones given in Sterling VRs data. 13 given in his Rev. War pension, nine of which match Sterling MA VRs; 7 children given by JWH or MLM are not in Sterling VRs (Manassah, Cephas, James, Richardson Charles, Catherine, Lucy) and are not in RW Pension listing in his handwritting.
ResearchMLM gives a child Charles L., d. Dedham MA, Jan 28 (after 1828), aged 3 y 1 m 18 d. Episcopal Church Record: "See the lovely blooming flower."22
ProblemJWH erroneously gives the seven children listed here as those of Ephraim Houghton: Manassah, Cephas, James, Richardson Charles, Catherine, Lucy. They are in fact his brother Josiah Richardson's children.23
ResearchMLM confused this Ephraim of the Ralph Houghton line with the Ephraim of the John Houghton line who married Prudence House and Polly Carleton10,24
ResearchMLM identifies these two Ephraims, and gives marriage to Prudence House (no date) and 4 children (Prudence, Elizabeth, Charles L., and Elizabeth; the latter 2 only in MLM). Given Sterling VRs marriage date of 1786, it is clear this is an incorrect attribution.25
