Biographical Note:

Franklin Benjamin Hough, physician, scientist, historian, statistician and “father of American forestry” was born in Martinsburg, N.Y., July 20, 1822. His father, Horatio Gates Hough, fifth in descent from an English ancestor who emigrated to America in 1619, was born in Meriden, Connecticut. He moved to Southwick, Mass., and then to Constableville, N.Y., where he settled as the “first physician of the county.” In 1805 he removed to Martinsurgh in the same county and died there on September 3, 1830. He was of a philosophical turn of mind, as shown by his writings, and an excellent physician. His biographer, portraying scenes of those early days, wrote of him, “How often has he been seen traveling on foot with saddle bags on his shoulders, making his way through the woods by the aid of marked trees to some distant log house, the abode of sickness and distress! There he has been seen almost exhausted by fatigue and suffering from want of sleep and food, reaching forth his hand to restore the sick, and by his cheerful voice, pouring consolation into the minds of the afflicted family.”

The younger Hough was graduated from Union College in 1843 and from Cleveland Medical College in 1848. He practiced medicine in Somerville, N.Y., 1848-1852, devoting spare moments to a study of the local history of the region and to its botanical and mineralogical exploration. His discovery of a new mineral that was named after him – houghite - commemorated his name in that field of science.

He was a man of splendid physique, as may be inferred from the following incidents mentioned in his autobiography. After recounting his visit to a locality rich in choice minerals, he writes, “I found myself loaded with forty or fifty pounds of treasures with which I walked back over the twenty-five miles I had come!” In another place he mentions walking all night a distance of forty-five miles to his home. He moved from Somerville to Brownville, N.Y. and thence to Albany, and in 1860 to Lowville, where he made his home the rest of his life, though much of his time was spent in duties elsewhere. He retired from the practice of medicine when he left Somerville, that he might devote his whole time to his research and literary work, but returned to it when he felt that his services were needed as a surgeon in the Civil War, where he served in the 97th Regiment, New York Volunteers. He kept abreast of the medical profession however until the last and was an active member of the Lewis County Medical Society.

His writings were numerous and varied, commencing with a Catalogue of the Plants of Lewis County, New York, in 1846, he soon followed by histories of successively - St. Lawrence, Franklin, Jefferson, and Lewis counties; he was called “the pioneer author of county histories of New York.”

He seemed indefatigable in his work and prosecuted it with such enthusiasm as to generally prefer it to ordinary means of recreation. When reproached for such constant application, he was wont to answer, “I seek repose in labor.” He then explained that it was his habit to have three or more wholly distinct manuscripts in progress at the same time, and these in different rooms. When tiring of work upon one, he would go into another room and take up another subject. There, amid fresh surroundings, with his thoughts running in a new channel, he would apply himself with as much vigor as though a nap had intervened.

A writer once said of him, “There has probably been no son of New York, whose bibliographical record shows so varied and valuable a contribution to the literature of the state.” A bibliographical list of his writings has been published in the 99th Annual Report of the University of New York.

He was superintendent of the first complete census of the State of New York in 1855 and again in 1865. When comparing the census returns of these two periods, he was impressed by the evidence of a waning timber supply in localities. He reasoned that such a condition, carried out over a long period, would lead to deplorable results, and with pen and voice, he tried to awaken public appreciation of the subject. Finally, in 1873, he delivered an address before the American Association for the Advancement of Science on “The Duty of Governments in the Preservation of Forests.” In this address he suggested that a committee be appointed to memorialize Congress on the importance of this subject, and it was done, he being appointed chairman of the committee. It proved to be a notable occasion, as it was the incipiency of the forestry movement in America, and resulted in the establishment of the Division of Forestry of the Department of Agriculture. Dr. Hough has since been looked upon as “the father of forestry in America.” He was appointed the first Chief of the new Division of Forestry and continued active in its service during the remainder of his life. He visited Europe in its interests, and issued comprehensive reports. In reviewing one of these reports, an officer of the Wurtemberg Forest Service remarked, “It awakens our surprise that a man, not a specialist, should have so mastered the whole body of American and European forestry literature and legislation.”

He married in 1849 Mariah Ellen Kilham, and they had two daughters and four sons.

According to an e-mail received December 8, 2003 from Robert B. Miller, a great-great-grandson of Hough, Hough’s son Romeyn stayed in New York.  The other boys moved to the Washington, D.C. area. Lincoln (Abraham Lincoln, 1865-1919) and Franklin were patent lawyers, and Elisha was a patent examiner for 37 years. Elisha (christened Elida, but his sister Minnie pronounced it Elisha so he kept it, even on his grave stone) was Miller’s great-grandfather and he lived, died and was buried in Falls Church, Va.  

Most of the family possessions stayed in New York in Romeyn's line.  Sadly, much of it was auctioned in 1973 after his daughter Marjorie died; Miller’s family found out about this sale in 1998.  Included were numerous copies of most of Franklin's books.  All Miller has of Hough’s are his Civil War Sword (1840 pattern medical staff officer’s sword), one copy of Report Upon Forestry (1877), and one copy of Duryee's Brigade

Miller published the Hough genealogy “several years ago.” He says he is “sure Franklin had a hand in it, but it was mostly Elisha's work.  There were over 1,500 family members in it!”

Also according to Miller, Cornell University has some Hough genealogical material, 401 items in collection #2023.  He does not know who donated them, probably his great-aunt Helen (Helen Yale Hough), who was a librarian at Frostburg State College in Maryland.  A private collection of Franklin's belongings was donated to the National Agricultural Library in Beltsville, Maryland by Harry Dengler, a forester but not family. 

Miller supplied a Richard Grove of the Program for Agrarian Studies, Yale University with a fair amount of family history for his research “several years ago, [but he has] not heard from him since.  He did tell [him] that Franklin was a frequent guest at the White House during Rutherford B. Hayes' administration.
