Biographical Note
William Haughton was born on August 8, 1803 in the town and county of Carlow, Ireland to Joshua and Mary (O'Brien) Haughton. When he immigrated from Ireland, he first lived at Cincinnati, Ohio and worked at the same tannery where his brother worked. To get away from influences of alcohol, he moved to Franklin County, Indiana where two of his sisters lived and he again found work in a tannery. On January 27, 1927, Haughton married Sarah "Sally" Johnson. After a few years of marriage, he and Sally moved to Highland County, Ohio where he taught school for about 4 years. Haughton then moved his family to Harveysburg, Ohio and took charge of Harveysburg High School. In 1940, he moved to Union County, Indiana and helped found Beech Grove Academy, a tuition school. Haughton also taught at the Friends' Boarding School, now known as Earlham College, before moving to Knightstown, Indiana and teaching school there and at Raysville, Indiana. He passed away on July 1, 1878 and was buried in the Raysville Friends Cemetery.
