Marriage, Children
During his stay at Fairhaven, Broughton became acquainted with one of Rogers' daughters, Cara Leland Duff (née Rogers), a young widow. By 1895, the sewer work was well on its way to completion, and Cara Rogers Duff and Urban Broughton had decided to be married. A quiet wedding was held at the residence of Henry H. Rogers and his wife, Abbie Gifford Rogers at 2026 East Fifty-Seventh Street in New York City. On Christmas Day, they sailed aboard an ocean liner on a honeymoon trip to Europe. Cara and Urban had two sons, Urban Huttleston Rogers Broughton, also known as Huttleston Broughton, born in August 1896 at Fairhaven, and Henry Rogers Broughton, born in January 1900.

Famous quotes containing the word children:
“Theorists may say what they like about a man’s children being a continuation of his own identity, but it will generally be found that those who talk in this way have no children of their own. Practical family men know better.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
