Biography

The records of Milton Church from 1691, show Rev. Peter Thacher of Milton baptized three of Mary's children on:

April 12, 1691. William, Mary and Hannah Bentlet, Grandchildren to Bro. R. Haughton.[1]

The above reference seems to refer to the three of the children of William and his wife Mary Houghton. Mary's father is Ralph Houghton making the R. Haughton a plausible grandfather.
