I have disappeared down a fun deep research shiny hole. Lookie what I found published in the Arkansas City Daily Traveler, Arkansas City, Kansas, on 25 Oct 1892, Tue, Page 8.
"Aaron Lashbrook is hunting a fortune in England. He claims he is one of the heroes of the Houghton estate, which is supposed to exist there."
I have been doing research for about 24 years, give or take. I have researched the Lashbrook clan from 12 pages to well over 850, maybe more, I am quite fearful of looking at the total pages these days. This is the first I have heard of this little tidbit.
Note, Aaron was born between 1819 (if you believe dates found in publications, I do not) and 1827 (if you believe baptismal records from cheery ole England, I do). So, at the time of this news bit, he was about 65 years of age. His wife Amanda was a "Houghton".
I have written about Aaron and Amanda at least once here on Reflections.
Amanda's ancestry remains pretty much a mystery. Of course, now, I am curious - -
Rats, another shiny research hole I can fall into - - -
