His name is not listed on Governors of Northwest Territory. First appointed, Arthur St.Clair, 5 October 1787. 1787 - William was a "Squatter Governor" of Ohio for probably two or more years before Arthur St. Clair was chosen as the first Governor of Northwest Territory; arrived at Marietta in July, 1788.

[I was at the History & Genealogy Archives in Marietta, Ohio and met/spoke to Scott A. Britton, Executive Director, The Castle, in person on June 18, 2014. -Source uncertain- "I have a friend who is descended from the Houghland's and has stories about one of them being the "first" Ohio Governor, Captain William Houghland who lived on the Ohio side of the river around the Wheeling, West Virginia area."] 1787 Newspaper Item: "From THE KENTUCKY GAZETTE, 1787-1800, Volume I, number XV, 17 November 1787, pg. 3: 'Married, Henry Hogland, son of Gov. William Hogland (of the "land west of the Ohio") married to Elizabeth Carpenter, eldest daughter of John Carpenter (landlord of Norris Town, west of the Ohio) on 27 May 1787 in Pittsburg.' " 1796 July 28 Green County, KY, Land grants. 1796 July 14 Land Entry, 200 acres, south side of Green River. "He married Elizabeth and named a portion of his children in his will in Green County in 1799. Abraham, Anna, James, and Isaac. Elizabeth and Catherine may also be his children."

Information I have reason to believe is/may be accurate, but have no proof of, is preceded and/or followed by a question mark: thus "James Houghland. b. ?1781" means I'm making an informed guess at his birth date. If you take my information elsewhere, please, please, also take my doubt. No tombstone/marker of his found in Green County. If he was a (squatter) governor of Ohio there should be a headstone erected for him.
