==Biography==
Franklin Benjamin Hough (pronounced "huff") was born in Martinsburg, New York on July 20, 1822 to Horatio Gates Hough and Martha Pitcher Hough. Horatio, a physician from Meriden, Connecticut, was the first medical doctor to settle in Lewis County, in the west of the Adirondack Mountains. Horatio Hough died in 1830 when Benjamin was eight years old, at which point he began to go by his middle name, Franklin.
As a young man, Franklin showed an interest in mineralogy and long hikes. He graduated with a degree from Union College in Schenectady in 1843, and in 1846 he was married to Maria Eggleston of Champion, New York, and a daughter was born, Lola. He also published the first of his major scientific writings, ''A Catalogue of Indigenous, Naturalized, and Filicord Plants of Lewis Counties, New York''. In 1848, he received an M.D. from Western Reserve College. The same year, Maria died. In 1857, he had a son, Romeyn Beck Hough, who would also go on to pursue a career in botany and medicine.
