HOUGHTON, Warrand 1810-1841

Born on 7th March 1810, Warrand died in 1841. He was the son of Mary Ann WARRAND (Mother) and George HOUGHTON (Father).
He married a woman whose last name was ROMERO. They had one son,  Juan Warrand HOUGHTON.

Unlike his brothers, Warrand did not join the family business. Rather, he was appointed replacement superintendent for the ill-fated Fort Wellington settlement.^⁠1

Houghton joined the supply brig Rose in the Grand Canaries. The Rose returned to Black River overloaded with provisions, livestock and 37 English and Spanish passengers, and in poor condition. 

the condition of the vessel was […] so bad that one of the Company's servants sent on board from Fort Wellington was taken ill a few hours afterwards and refused to sleep in the berth prepared for him below and he and another person declared they could smell the effluvia from the brig some time before they got to her.^⁠2 

Before all the goods and passengers could be taken off, a storm came up and drove the Rose onto the shore. The ship was largely undamaged but impossible to refloat, so she was set on fire to recover the metal fittings.

Warrand Houghton died on 19 March.

Mr Houghton, a fine young man, died within five weeks, his death being occasioned by over anxiety^⁠ exertion and exposure to the sun ; with deep anguish did we witness his premature end and read the beautiful funeral service over this promising young gentleman.3

 A further seven passengers died from various causes over the next few weeks, after which the remainder of the ill-equipped and inexperienced passengers fled.
