The Herbert Eugene Revere and Lulu Edith Boughton Home Page

My grandfather, Herbert E. Revere, began tracing his and his wife's family trees in 1922. He recorded the data in a journal specially printed for that purpose. When I saw his journal, I noticed that the handwriting in it was almost exactly like my own. I felt right then that it was my responsibility to carry on his work. Herbert Revere was a direct descendant of the famous midnight rider, Paul Revere. My grandmother, Lulu Edith Boughton, was descended from John Bouton, who came to America in 1635. When I was a child, my grandfather spoke about Paul Revere often. I am proud to carry on a Revere family tradition. I am also happy to discover other members of my family who all played a part in making this country great.

In order to help people searching for their Bouton/Boughton ancestors from Fairfield County, CT, I have inputted the data on them from James Boughton's book and elsewhere into a Family Tree Maker book. The book contains a genealogy report of descendants of John Bouton I who were born in Fairfield Co. and their spouses, children and inlaws, where known. It also contains a custom report which lists the Boutons with their spouses, birth, marriage and death data. This is a work in progress. If you didn't find your Bouton ancestor today, come back again. If you have Bouton data to contribute, please email me.

I was not born in Fairfield County, CT. When I first lived there as an adult, I was totally unaware of my many ancestors that were founders of Stamford and Norwalk. I have even lived on two streets named after distant relatives. It was an adventure discovering my roots in Fairfield County.
