The Houghton families lived in nearby localities until new buildings could be erected. In the settlement of Joseph Houghton's estate the farm became the property of Mrs. Florence Houghton. When Rural Free Delivery was established in this town, George Houghton had the distinction of being the first carrier. He covered the route, as it then existed, with horse and buggy or sleigh. Since Mr. Houghton's death in 1925, his son, Edward S. Houghton, has developed the farm."; p. 468: "He was Guilford's first Rural Mail carrier. The brick yard, on the farm, at one time, turn out about 300,000 brick and 1,200 barrels of lime per year. It was in operation until about 1900. Fire destroyed the buildings in 1897. The present house was built in 1910-11"
