IIORTON ARMS. DERBYSHIRE.

A stag's head cabossed, silver ; attired, £'o/d; and, for distinction, a canton ermine.
Crest, out of the waves of the sea/rtj/^r, a tilting spear erect, goid ; enfiled with a dolphin,

silver, fit\ne6,gold, and charged with a shell.

[Cabossed mevms cut off short so as not to show the neck; attired denotes the horns; canton
ermine, means the black spots upon the white field in the left-hand corner. In the picture the
artist has not given the shell upon the dolphin.]

Motto.—" Quod Vult, Valde Vult," — What he wills, he wills cordially and without stint.

Arms are hereditary, but the mottoes are not, and may be changed to suit the taste or fancy of
any family. There are other Arms of the Horton family, varying somewhat from the above. The
date of the grant of the arms I have not found — probably many centuries ago.

PREFACE— INTRODUCTION.

We give Barnabas Horton as the Preface and Introduction to this
little volume of Chronicles. He was probably the son of Joseph
Horton, of Leicestershire, England, and born in the little hamlet of
Mousely of that shire. Of his history before he came to America very
little is known. He came over in the ship ^^ Siuallow,'" in 1633-38.
He landed at Hampton, Mass. How long he remained at Hampton
is not known. But in 1640 we find him with his wife and two chil-
dren in New Haven, Conn., in company with the Rev. John Youngs,
William Welles, Esq., Peter Hallock, John Tuthill, Richard Terry,
Thomas Mapes, Matthias Corwin, Robert Ackerly, Jacob Corey, John
Conklin, Isaac Arnold, and John Budd, and on the 21st day of
Oct., 1640, assisted by the venerable Rev. John Davenport and Gov.
Eaton, they organized themselves into a Congregational Church, and
sailed to the east end of Long Island, now Southold. They had all
been members of Puritan churches in England, and all had families
with them except Peter Hallock. They doubtless had been on the
island previous to this time and looked out their homes. On nearing
the shore they cast lots to decide who should first set foot on the land.
The lot fell on Peter Hallock, and the place where he stepped upon
the land has ever since been known as Hallock' s Landing.

On coming ashore, they all knelt down and engaged in j^rayer,
Peter Hallock leading, as had been determined by the lot. These
were the first persons of any civilized nation that had ever attempted
to settle on the east end of Long Island. See Griffith s Jouriial.

Barnabas Horton was a man of deep-toned piety, and a warm advo-
cate of civil and religious freedom. He was one of the most promi-
nent and influential men of Southold. He was for many years a
magistrate, and several times a member of the General Court at New
Haven and Harford. He built the first framed dwelling-house ever
erected on the east of Long Island, and that house is still (1875)
standing and occupied. It is a shingle-house, that is, shingles are
used for weather-boards, and the sides have never been reshingled,
and the roof but once, according to the statement of Jonathan Gold-
smith Horton, the last Horton occupant of the old house.

VI Preface. — Introduction.

It is said that Barnabas Horton I. was large in stature, and of a
ruddy complexion, and of fine social qualities.

His tombstone is of English blue marble, five feet long and about
three feet wide. It is placed horizontally over the grave. The stone
was re-lettered about fifty or sixty years ago by Jonathan G. Horton.
It is elevated about eighteen inches from the ground, on a good stone
base. The original base was of brick, but it had all crumbled down
many years ago. The present base was put under the stone at the
time it was re-lettered by Jonathan G. Horton.

The inscription surrounds the border of the stone, and reads as
follows :

" Here lieth buried the body of Mr. Barnabas Horton, who was born at
Mousely, Leicestershire, Old England, and died at Southold, on the 13th day of
July, 1680, aged 80 years."

In the centre of the stone we find the Epitaph, as follows :

" Here lies my body tombed in dust
'Till Christ shall come to raise it with the just;
My soul ascended to the throne of God,
Where with sweet Jesus now I make abode :
Then hasten after me, my dearest wife,
To be partaker of this blessed life ;
And you, dear children, all follow the Lord,
Hear and obey His public sacred word ;
And in your houses call upon His name,
For oft I have advised you to the same :
Then God will bless you with your children all,
And to this blessed place He will you call."

Heb. xi : 4, — " He being dead, yet speaketh."

It is said that this epitaph was written by himself, and that it, to-
gether with the inscription, date of his death excepted, was all put
upon the stone before he died. He was the only one of the original
thirteen who brought his tombstone with him, and this fact seems to
indicate a commendable desire to see that his name and memory
should not perish from the earth.

Note. — We have followed Griffin s Journal in relation to the thirteen old Puri-
tans who first settled in Southold. But C. B. Moore, Esq., of New York City, who
has been more thorough and faithful than any other person, in studying the history

Preface. — Int?'oductio?i. VII

and genealogy of the early settlers of Southold — examining all the deeds and wills,
and other authentic documents to be found, and also copying the inscriptions from
every headstone, not only in Southold, but over nearly the whole Island — makes it
very evident that some of those named were not there at so early a date, and he
also says that Peter Hallock, who is named as one of the thirteen, was the grandson
of the Puritan Hallock who settled at Southold, and whose Christian name was
William. Mr. Moore is one of the best genealogists of the country, and in relation
to Long Island, he is the best authority extant.

MORE ABOUT THE OLD HOUSE.

It will be seen by the engraving that the old house is double. The
western part is that which was built by Barnabas in 1659-60. The
east or two-story part was built by Jonathan I., about 1682. The upper
room of this part was u.sed for a court-house for nearly twenty years,
as we learn from Thompson's History of Long Island, and some of
the old benches used when it was a court-house are still preserved.
The old "castle," as Jonathan G. Horton, its last Horton occupant,
used to call it, is in all probability the oldest wood house in America.
I know of no dwelling-house of any kind, stone or brick, now stand-
ing, that can date back as far as this venerable old mansion. There
were a few huts on the east of Long Island previous to 1640 — two or
three it is said on Shelter Island. But these, as well as those built by
the Puritans, immediately on their settlement in Southold, soon all
passed away. Not a vestige of any of the first generation buildings
can be found except this one. It remained for the house that Barnabas
built to survive the wreck of ages, and to stand to-day as a noble
representative of the dwellings of two hundred and fifteen years ago.
But the old house stands to-day not only as peering above all others
by its age, but also by its occupancy. It is not very often that we find
two generations of the same name, living and dying in the same house —
rarely find three. But here we have six generations in succession, all
bearing the Horton name, living and dying in the same house, and
all born in it except Barnabas I., and his son Jonathan. We may go
to the castles and palaces of the old world, and search long and dili-
gently, and fail to find a parallel case.

With a few repairs, the old castle may yet stand for generations far
in the future.

It requires some thought and reflection to realize the lapse of time
since the old house was built. See the old Puritan himself there
twenty years ; then his son Jonathan, twenty-eight years ; and then
Jonathan, Jr., about sixty years; and next Lawrence and his son Jona-

than over a half a century; and lastly Jonathan G. Horton, about a
half a century; making in all two hundred and thirteen years at the
death of Jonathan G. Horton, 3 July, 1873. These six generations
all living and dying in the old mansion ! Could those old walls re-
echo all the words ever spoken there, and exhibit anew all the scenes
ever witnessed there — the book containing such a record would vastly
exceed in volume the size of the old castle. It would bring to light
much that is now in darkness, and must forever remain hidden from
the generations of the living.

At the death of Jonathan G. Horton, the old homestead became,
by will, the property of the Rev. Mrs. Williams, of Brooklyn, N. Y.,
who was the adopted daughter of Jonathan G. Horton, he never
having had issue, so that on the 3d of July, 1873, the old homestead
went out of the Horton name.

Mrs. Williams proposes to sell it, and if some of the Hortons do
not buy it, it will indicate a lack of decent respect for the old castle,
if not for the Horton name. It should be bought back into the
Horton name, suitably repaired and preserved for the wonder and
admiration of generations of Hortons yet unborn. Jonathan G.
Horton, the short, thick man, and Stuart T. Terry, are the two men
seen in the engraving, in front of the old house.

Mr. Stuart T. Terry, of Southold, L. I., has kindly copied and for-
warded to me, many interesting facts from the New Haven Colonial
Records, some of which are here inserted :

*' Concerning some farmers neere Southold, at a place called Hash-
amamock, aboute whom Barnabas Horton, one of ye Constables last
yeare, which was 1656, also, Constable in 1659. 29 May, 1661, Bar-
nabas Horton was a Deputy to the New Haven Court — also, 31 May,
1654, the Deputies from Southold, presented to ye court a wrighting
from their towne, wherein it is desired that Barnabas Horton and
John Peaken, the two present Deputies of Southold, may be chosen
Constables for that plantation ; which was done. Barnabas Horton
was a Deputy to the Court in New Haven, in 165 4-' 5 6-' 5 8-' 5 9 and
1 66 1. In 1655 there was no election, but he wrote a letter to the
Court on public affairs. In 1662 he was admitted a Freeman of Con-
necticut Colony, at Harford, and in 1663 and 1664 he was a Deputy
to the General Court, at Harford. He was a Magistrate in 1664, and
until his death. He is one of the Patentees of the Town of Southold
in 1676." Made his will May 10. 16S0. Died 13 July, 1680. Will
proved. Lib. 2, N. Y., p. 54. — Vide ^^ Moore's Indexes of Southold.'''

THE OLD BIBLE.

Perhaps the most interesting relic left by our good old ancestor,
Barnabas, is the old Bible, which he brought with him from England.
It is now in the possession of the Hon. Silas Horton, of Southold.
It was taken to the Bible House, New York, some years ago, and care-
fully repaired, and every torn leaf mended, so that it is now entire,
and in a good condition.

We find in it the following record :

"Imprinted at London, by the Deputies of Christian Barker."

Printer to the Queen^ s Most Excellent Majestie, i^gj-

Cum Privilegio.

Then follows in manuscript :

" Barnabas Horton, to his son Jonathan Horton, this Bible he did bequeath, in
the year of our Lord, 1680."

Then follows:

" Capt. Jonathan Horton, his Book. God give him grace. Jonathan Horton, 1683."

In another place, and probably in the handwriting of Jonathan
Horton, Jr., we find:

" The Word of the Lord God of Jonathan Horton, ij^S-^g.''^

Again we find :

" Lydia Tuthill, her Book, given her by her mother, as it is said."

And then follows :

" Feb. 8, in the year 1742, then Jonathan Tuthill departed this life — the son of
Henr)' Tuthill and Bethia (Horton) Tuthill. Susanna Tuthill, wife of Jonathan
Tuthill, departed this life May 16, in the year 1743, in the 50th year of her age.
Henr}^ Tuthill, departed this life the 4th day of January, in the year 1750, aged 84,
Bethia Tuthill, wife of Henr}- Tuthill, departed this life March i6th, 1744, in the
73d year of her age."

OLD MUSKET, CASK, AND WALKING STAFF.

The old wood hooks are still attached to the big beam of the old

house, upon which Barnabas used to hang his old musket, which was

called ''uncle Barney's quart pot. '' He brought it with him from

England. It is now in the possession of Barnabas B. Horton, of

1*

X Preface. — Introduction.

Southold. It is still a long old gun, though not as long as it was
once, as it was bursted by overloading on one Thanksgiving Day, and
about eight or ten inches of the muzzle cut off.

The CASK, in which he packed a portion of his household goods,
and brought over with him, is still in existence, and is owned by
Gilbert W. Horton, of Bay View, Southold. It is doubly historic
from the fact that when the British invaded Long Island it was filled
with wheat and buried, thus securing the wheat from the foraging
parties of the British army. It is made of solid oak — hoops and all —
the hoops are square and about an inch and a quarter thick — only one
hoop missing. It is used for a grain cask, and will hold about fifteen
bushels. It was formerly called "uncle Barney's money barrel," as
romance had it, that he brought it over full of gold and silver.

His WALKING STAFF is Still preserved. It is made of the Yew tree
wood, has a fine ivory head with the letters "J. H." and the figures
''1617" in apparently golden specks indented into it, from which it
would seem that it once belonged to his father, and that J. H. (Joseph
Horton) were his initials. It is now owned by Silas R. Horton, of
Goshen, N. Y.

Many other mementos of the old Puritan are in existence, some of
them in the Long Island Historical Rooms, Brooklyn, N. Y.

The horton NAME — First Settlers in this Country.

The word Horton in the Anglo-Saxon language means an enclosure,
or garden of vegetables. It is said to be derived from ort and tun^
ort, meaning plant, and ///;/, enclosed. The name is evidently of
Latin origin, and has been known in England ever since the conquest
of Caesar.

The Hortons in England, and their descendants in America, have
generally been cultivators of the soil. They have been found almost
universally in the middle class of society, and it is not known that
any royal blood has ever coursed in their veins. They are, and always
have ht^Xi, producers rather than consumers, and for industry, integ-
rity, and piety, they will lose nothing in a comparison with the re-
nowned families of either the new or the old world.

The first of the family who emigrated to this country, of whom we
have any authentic record, came over from England 1633 ^^ ^638.
Thomas, Jeremiah, and Barnabas, were among the early emigrants,
and old tradition says they were brothers. Thomas came over in the
^^ Mary and John,'" in 1633, settled permanently in Springfield, Mass.

Preface. — Introduction. X I

Jeremiah also settled in Massachusetts. There was a John Horton in
New York, in 1645, but no one has been found claiming descent from
him. He probably returned to England.

It is not known from what place in England either Thomas or Jere-
miah came, nor is there any certain evidence that they were brothers
of Barnabas, but the three coming over about the same time would
favor the tradition that they were brothers.

The Head Quarters of Caesar's army was near the present Leicester,
the principal town of that county, and the Horton name has been
known there to the remotest period of any authentic records. This
fact, together with the name itself, favors the idea that the family was
of Roman origin. The name in olden time was frequently written
Orton, and it is highly probable, that the Ortons and Hortons were
originally from the same family, and perhaps also the Nortons.

ANTIQUITY OF THE HORTON FAMILY.

The antiquity of the Horton Family is established by the fact, that
one Robert De Horton, manumitted a bondman to his manor of
Horton, long before the time of Henry Larey, Earl of Lincoln, who
died in 1310. It is also ascertained that the Hortons had a manor-
house in Great Horton, with a mill and certain demesne lands there-
with belonging, at a very remote period.

William Horton, Esq., of Frith House, in Barksland, Halifax,
descended from the above-mentioned Robert, married Elizabeth,
daughter of Thomas Hanson, Esq., of Toothill, had issue and died
about 1640, viz. :

1. William, of Barkisland, or Bark Island Hall, who purchased in the 15th of
Charles I., the estate of Howroyde, was bom about 1576.

2. Joseph, born about 1578. — Burke's Landed Gentry, vol. i, p. J^J.

It is held that this Joseph settled in Mousely, Leicester Co., and
was the father of Barnabas Horton. It is highly probable that Bar-
nabas was not the oldest son, and not inheriting real estate, may have
been one reason for his emigrating to America.

It is known that Capt. Jeremy Horton, 18 Aug., 1626, was the
master and owner of the ship ^'■Swallow,'' of Barnstable, and that he
made voyages to New England, in 1633 and 1638, and in a subsequent
voyage he was shipwrecked and several lives lost — the crew and master
came to Boston, but the vessel was lost.

Capt. Roger Horton, about this time, had a prisoner delivered to

XII Preface. — Introduction.

him, from the White Liijfe Prison, to be transported into parts beyond
the seas, to serve in the wars of his majesty's plantations.

Tradition says that Barnabas Horton and family came over in the
^'■Swallow,'''' in 1638, or perhaps earlier, but I have not found his
name on any of the lists of emigrants.

ORIGINAL NAME OF SOUTHOLD.

^^The Indians called Southold,* ' Yennycock.' Mr. John Youngs,
who had been a minister at Hingham, England, came over with a con-
siderable part of his church, and here fixed his residence. He gathered
his church anew on the 21 Oct., 1640, and the planters united them-
selves with New Haven. However, they soon departed from the rule
of appointing none to office, or of admitting none to be freemen, but
members of the church. New Haven insisted on this as a funda-
mental article of the constitution. They were, therefore, for a num-
ber of years, obliged to conform to the law of jurisdiction. Some of
the principal men were : Rev. Mr. Youngs, Mr. William Wells, Mr.
Barnabas Horton, Thomas Mapes, John Tuthill, and Matthias Cor-
win." — Trumbuir s History of Connecticut.

Note.

The reader will see at a glance the plan of this book. We com-
mence with the Christian name. Then follows the parentage, genea-
logical data, &c., and then the Christian names of the children and
order of births. In many of the early families the exact order of
births cannot be ascertained; but it has been approximated as nearly
as possible. The lineage is given in connection with the hrst member
of the family. The Roman numerals indicate the order of births.
The sons and daughters of the old Puritan, Barnabas, constitute the
second generation, but they are spoken by way of eminence as Joseph
I., Hannah I., &c. The book contains much repetition, but none
too much to make it plain and easy to study.

This little book contains the chronicles of only about one-half of
the Horton families looked up. Those whose genealogical data are
given only in a small part, and those whose correct lineage has not
been satisfactorily ascertained, are not included in this book.

XIV Pi'eface. — hitrodiiciion.

This book is mainly what those who have kindly furnished records
and sketches have made it. The whole has been carefully compiled.
But genealogical works, almost of necessity, contain many errors.
Doubtless this small work has its full share. But when errors are dis-
covered, notice thereof should be given, so that a second edition may
be made entirely truthful. Thankful to all who have generously given
their assistance, this work is sent out as a small contribution to the
genealogical literature of the day, and in the hope that a more full
and extensive book of Horton chronicles may be issued at no very
distant day.

First Generation. — Barnabas I.

I. Barnabas Horton, son of Joseph Horton, born in Mousely,
Leicestershire, England, 13 July (old style), 1600. Emigrated to
America in the ship *' Swallow," Captain Jeremy Horton, master and
owner, in 1635 to ' t^^, landed at Hamj)ton, Massachusetts, came to
New Haven in 1640; his wife, Mary, and two children, Joseph and
Benjamin, with him. He settled permanently on the east end of
Long Island, now Southold, Suffolk County, New York, in October,
i6^o.

Children, all born in Southold, except Joseph and Benjamin, who
were born in England :

1. Joseph, born about 1632; married Jane Budd, daughter of John Budd L

2. Benjamin, born about 1634; married Anna Budd, sister of Jane.

3. Caleb, born about 1640; married Abigail Hallock.
\ 4. Joshua, born about 1643; married Mary Tuthill.

( 5. Jonathan, born about 1648; married Bethia Wells.

6. Hannah, married Barnabas Terrill.

7. Sarah, married Joseph Conklin.

1 8. Mary, married Joseph Budd, son of John Budd.

I 9. Mercy, married Christopher Youngs.

1 10. Abigail, married Charles Booth.

Second Generation. — Joseph I.

L Joseph, the first son of Barnabas L, was born in Mousely, England;
exact date of his birth has not been found. Probably 1635. ^^ came
to this country with his father. He married, about 1655, Jane Budd,
daughter of John Budd, one of the original thirteen Puritans, who set-
tled in Southold in 1640. He resided near his father in Southold for
several years after his marriage; but about the year 1664, he moved
to Rye, AVestchester County, New York, to which place his father-in-
law, John Budd, had previously gone.

10 Second Ge7ieratioii. — -Joseph I.

He was admitted a freeman of Connecticut Colony in 1662. In
1663 he witnessed a deed of Tucker and Brush to Mapes. He sold his
house, and lot of four acres of land, to his father, Barnabas Horton,
and also deeded land to John Youngs, in 1665. In 1671 he was chosen
one of the Selectmen of Rye, and about this time he is one of a Com-
mittee of three to procure a minister. In 1678 he was a Justice of the
Peace, and about this time he was a Lieutenant, and then a Captain of
a Militia Company, and also authorized by the General Court to issue
warrants, and to unite persons in holy matrimony. In iGqc-'qi he
was devisee of his brother Benjamin, and his brother Joshua was execu- .
tor. In 1695 he was chosen one of the vestrymen of the church, andj
in 1699 he was licensed to keep a public "house of entertainment. In/
addition to all these dignities, he also filled the office of miller, and in
this useful calling he was succeeded by several of his descendants. He
had five sons and several daughters, only one of whom is mentioned.

He was a freeman of Connecticut Colony in 1664, deeds land to
Christopher Youngs in 1670, and to Samuel King and others at various
times. Anna, his wife, witnesses deeds in 1673, 1683-85. On 19 )

first leather that was ever manufactured in Delaware Co. He pur-
chased large tracts of lands, built saw-mills and grist-mills, and carried
on a large business in the manufacture and sale of lumber and provisions,
as well as of leather. He was a healthy, muscular man. His father
died when he was sixteen, and he then for a while lived with his
brother Stephen. He was a man of sound judgment, and capable of
enduring much hardship. Colchester was an unbroken wilderness >
when he settled there, but by his influence and great business capacity, '
it was soon settled by an enterprising and industrious people, and the
wildness was- soon turned into well cultivated and productive fields.

the Peace for many years, and in 1 794, he was sent to the Legislature,

Delaware being then one county.

Church, and they trained up their children to fear the Lord and keep
his commandments. He died suddenly in 1831, at the age of eighty-

in. James, son of Hon. William Horton and Lizzie Covert, born
at Sommers, New York, 23 January, 1773 ^ ^^'^ married 15 May, 1800,
to Martha White, born at White Plains, 17 March, 1775. She died
16 July, 1862, aged 87.

He was about sixteen years of age when his father moved to Col-
chester, Delaware County, New York, where he endured the hard-
ships and privations incident to a frontier settlement. In 1S06 he
moved from Colchester to Chaumont, Jefferson Co., New York, then
a dense forest. He settled permanently on Point Salubrious, being
the first family of white people who ever settled there. Here he was
again exposed to hardships, causing continued ill health, until his
death, which occurred on 5th November, 1833. He and his wife were
members of the Baptist Church. He was a warm supporter of religion
and a lover of good order in society, which he always labored zealously
and successfully to promote. He was temperate in his habits and ex-
emplary in his character. He never disgraced the name he bore, and
his virtues are worthy of imitation by all his posterity. He and his
elder brother Henry settled near each other on Point Salubrious,
which is a neck of land running out about four miles into Chamount
Bay. Here they took up farms, had fine fishing grounds, and raised
large families. — Letter of Van Rantz Horton.

''Isaac Horton moved from Colchester to Liberty, Sullivan Co.,
N. Y., 4 and 5 of April, 1826. The snow fell in April, after they
moved, about two feet deep. He had a large stock of cows, sheep and
hogs. In his flock of sheep were twenty-two ewes, the finest that could be
found in Colchester, nearly all of them only two years old. He drove
them to Liberty. Wolves were seen on the way near Parkesville.
He arrived at Liberty Falls — salted his sheep in the evening. The
next morning the sheep were gone, and Isaac and his son Roy, went
up the hill at Liberty Falls to look for them. Before they got beyond
the clearing they found dead sheep scattered along the log fence, and
others dying. Nearly all the flock were killed. They even killed a
lamb in the pen adjoining the house.

"In 1837, Isaac Horton had thirty-seven grandchildren, all living
but two. His children all lived to maturity." — (Letter G. B. Horton,
187 1.')

Isaac Horton was a member of the Baptist Church, of Colchester ;
, but after he moved to Liberty, Sullivan Co., N. Y*, he usually attended
j the Episcopal Church. He built a grist-mill at Liberty Falls, in
1827 or 1828, another in 1S41-42. He was quite extensively engaged
in the manufacture of bed-posts and other turned work, including
wooden bowl^ : also in shipping curled and birds-eye maple. Politi-
cally he was a whig, and an ardent supporter of Clay and Webster.
He died 10 May, 1855. She is still living.

Under date of 8 February, 1874, Webb Horton writes, '' My mother
is living and in good health. She resides at Liberty, Sullivan Co.,
N. Y. She is in the eighty-seventh year of her age.' Her father died
' aged eighty- eight, and her grandmother. Prudence Schofield, aged
! ninety-four. She has now living ten children, thirty-seven grand-
children, and nineteen great-grandchildren."
^ This is a very remarkable family — so large and yet so few deaths.

24 Sixth Generation. — yoseph I.

It is a rare occurrence to find a family of children, ten in number, the
youngest forty-six years old, all living. And then so many grand-
children and great-grandchildren living. I have no record of any
family equal to it, and doubtless, the number is now (1875), somewhat
augmented.

/J

32 Seventh Generation. — -Joseph I.

He possesses fine social qualities, and, since retiring from business, he
occasionally amuses himself in hunting and fishing. His integrity,
industry and great business capacities, during the active part of his
life, rendered him a most valuable acquisition to the community in
which he carried on his business, and the articles he manufactured
were of sterling value to the farming interests of the country.

Mr. Horton, on sending me his photograph for an engraving,
accompanied it with the following very modest and unassuming sketch
of his life :

"I was born in Yorktown, Westchester County, New York, 15
September, 1806. My parents were farmers, in moderate circum-
stances. I remained with them until I was seventeen, working on the
farm in the summer, and going to school in the winter, thus acquiring
merely a common-school education. When I was seventeen years old,
at the suggestion of my parents, I decided to learn the blacksmith
trade, and commenced the business at once, and served an appren-
ticeship for several years. On the 17th of October, 1827, I married
Phebe Tompkins, and on the 9th of March, 1S20. we moved to Peeks-
kill village, where we have resided ever .since. I bought some pro-
perty, and set up the blacksmithing business. I succeeded well in the
business. In the spring of 1835 I entered into a co-partnership busi-
ness with Mr. Truman Minor, under the firm name of * Minor & Hor-
ton,' and went into the foundry business, manufacturing agricultural
imi)kments, jirincipally ploughs and plough-castings. Our business
increased rapidly, and paid us well. We continued partners for
twenty years.' In 1855 Mr. Minor retired from business, and I took
in Mr. Geo. W. Depeu as a partner, and about two years afterwards,
we admitted each of us a son, and the firm then became, ' Horton,
Depeu & Sons.' Our manulactured articles were sold in nearly every
State in the Union, and also in many foreign countries.

*' In 1862 we all sold out to a stock company, formed for that pur-
pose. Having been in active business for thirty years, 1 now retired.:
In the spring of 1855 I was elected Supervisor of the town of Cort-i
landt, and I represented that town in the Board of Supervisors for fiv sj
years in succession.

*' In the winter of 1858, I was a member of the I- gislature from
this Assembly District. For many years I held the various offices of
our village, but of late have declined official stations, preferring the
enjoyments of private life."

Mr. Horton is not a public professor of Christianity, but is a gen-
tleman of correct moral deportment, nnd very temperatr" in h•^ br^'nts.

'The following auto-biographical sketch of Dea. John W. Horton,
contained in one of his letters, is interesting and well worth pre-
serving :

"I was ])orn in the town of Colchester, Delaware County, New
York, on llie 12th of October, 1802. When a little over three years
old, my father moved to Lyme, Jefferson County, New York, which
was then known as the Black River Country, and settled on the shore
of Chaumont Bay, at the east end of Lake Ontario. It was here I spent
my childhood and my boyhood days, learning, as I grew up, how to
endure the privations of a pioneer life in a northern wilderness. At
the age of nine years I began to know what manual labor meant,
working on the farm in the summer, and going to school in the win-
ter. In those days our school-houses were frequently some old log
house, which some settler had built and then vacated, and perhaps
left the country, or moved into better quarters. Such school-houses

were splendid for hot weather, being so well ventilated ; but in the
winter they required piles of wood and great physical endurance to
keep warm. My facilities for acquiring an education were exceedingly
limited. Being the eldest of eight children, perhaps I had to take a
little more of the rough end of life than some of the others.

"At the commencement of my seventeenth year, my father com-
menced preparing for building a new house, and I then gave up going
to school, and worked through the winter at quarrying stone and get-
ting lumber for the new house. The house was commenced in the
spring and completed before fall, myself and younger brother carrying
the stone and mixing the mortar.

*'I remained with my father until I was twenty-four years old. I
then went for myself. I purchased land, and settled permanently at
Adams Centre, after my marriage. In December, 1829, myself and
wife connected ourselves with the Baptist Church, at the State Road,
Jefferson County, New York.

''We were blessed with four daughters — all grew up to womanhood,
married, made a public profession of religion, and became members of
the Baptist Church. We occupied our old home until the 13th of
December, 1872, when death removed my dear wife from this world
of care, pain and suffering to the mansions of everlasting rest, as I
humbly trust.

"The next April I sold my farm, and I am now spending the few
remaining days of my life with my three surviving daughters, by
whose affectionate care and tenderness I am made quite contented and
happy. ' '

'' He was a good soldier; his kind and obliging disposition, and
his soldierly bearing won for him the respect and good-will of all who
knew him. His love for his country overrode all personal considera-
tions, and he was often heard to say, that the life of a civilian had no
attractions for him while armed traitors refused to acknowledge the
laws and its institutions typified by the Stars and Stripes. He loved
his friends and home, but he loved his country more, and he was wil-
ling to bid adieu to father and mother, brothers and sisters, and go
into the foremost rank of those who were battling for the right, and
he battled nobly, and fell at last a martyr for his country's freedom.
He died in Millon Prison, Ga.. aged 23 years and 10 months." —

Isaac S. Horton was a farmer, and occasionally a hunter, "fre-
quently taking his rifle," as he says, and going into the woods not far
from his house, he would knock down a deer or two and return home
by breakfast time. One morning in June, some forty years ago, he
took his gun and went out into the woods, about half a mile
from his house, when a fine buck appeared before him and down
he went. While reloading his gun he heard a wolf howl, and going a
little further he brought him down also. On returning to the place
where he shot the buck, behold, a huge panther had taken possession
of the buck, and was regaling himself by licking up the blood and pre-
paring to feast upon the carcass. He stood still for some minutes,
looking at the panther, thinking it rather cruel to kill him before he
had a chance to take his fill of his much coveted food. But at length
the panther saw him and showed signs of fight, and he then put a
ball through his brain. On going home for his team, he found he had
been gone only a little over an hour.

Mr. Horton took up land in a dense wilderness, several miles from
any inhabitant, cleared it up, and then bought several other farms and
assisted in clearing them up. He was a man of strong constitution,
and lived to a good old age, dying at his old homestead, about two
miles from Ghent meeting house, in Sheshequin, Pa.

Trace us back to the throne if you can, see that you make no less of
our great top root, when you find him than an Earl. "Another Horton

ber of the St. James Episcopal Church, of Milwaukee, in which she
took a lively interest, and was distinguished for her generosity — espe-
cially for her many deeds of benevolence to the suffering and the poor.
She was a kind and dutiful wife, a most tender and affectionate mother,
and her early departure was deeply lamented, not only by her bosom
companion and near relatives, but also by the community in general.

Harry L. Horton's father was a well-to-do farmer, and Harry
remained with his parents and worked on the farm until he was seven-
teen years old. He received but a moderate common-schoDl educa-
tion, and, during his school-boy days, he Avas noted for his activity
and sagacity, and early exhibited more than ordinary business capa-
city. At the age of seventeen he engaged as a clerk in the store of
D. Brink & Son, at Horn Brook, Pa., and remained with them until

where. But at length, in 1856, he went to Milwaukee, and engaged
in the produce commission business, in which he was very successful.
Here he seemed to be permanently settled. But after the death of his
wife, his business, which had been very remunerative, seemed to lose
much of its interest, and in March, 1865, having closed up his busi-
ness in Milwaukee, with about ^15,000 in pocket, he went to New
York City, and ini mediately engaged in the banking and broker busi-
ness, in which he has continued unti} the present time, conducting a
large business, which, under the supervision of his keen eye and his
assiduous personal attention, he has made very lucrative. He now
owns a fine property on Staten Island, and, though he lost largely by
the panic of 1873, ^""^ ^^ ^^i^l doing a fair business, and, to use his own

He possesses excellent social qualities, is kind-hearted, generous and
noble, and at his banking house, 56 Broadway, New York, or at his

(^Jonathan, Caleb I.'), horw at Cutchogue, about 1728; married in
1755, to Sarah Lee, daughter of Rev. John Lee, of Lyme, Conn.,
born about 1730. The Rev. John Lee had two sons who were
preachers.

Israel and his family moved from Cutchogue to Goshen Township
in 1762. He was a farmer. In the Autumn of 1771, he went to
Newburgh with a load of grain. On the way home, he was taken sick,
succeeded in getting home, but died in a day or two after. About
1782, his widow married Parshall Terry, formerly of Southold. He
was a widower, was living with his family in Wyoming Valley in 17 78.
He and his family were in the famed Forty Fort the night after the
Indian battle and massacre. The next morning they fled to the
mountains and after suffering great hardships, crossing the "big

swamp," afterwards known as ''Swamp Dismal," or the "Shades of
Death," they reached Stroudsburg, Pa., in safety. Leaving his family
here, he hastened to Orange Co., N. Y., for assistance. During his
absence his wife was taken sick with "camp distemper" (malignant
dysentery), and died leaving a large family of children, the youngest
but three years old.

He took his family to Little Britain, Orange Co., N. Y., and as
above-stated, married the widow Horton. The two families, all told,
numbering twenty-two persons. The house in which they lived being
an old-fashioned double log-house, they hired a school-master and
made one part of it a school-house, thus evincing a laudable deter-
mination to have the education of their household properly cared for.
The writer obtained these facts in 1828, from Benjamin Horton, son
of Israel, who was one of the pupils. But this arrangement was not of
long continuance, for in 1786, Sarah, the mother and stepmother
died, and was buried by her first husband in Warwick Cemetery.

1768; married John Clark. 9. Samuel, born in 1770; died of small-pox; unmarried.

Israel Horton and his wife were pious people, active members of the
Southold Church, and after removing to Orange County they became
members of the Presbyterian Church of Warwick. Their children
were trained up to love and fear the Lord and keep his command-
ments. He was a soldier in the old French war, and, in 1758, bear-
ing the commission of Lieutenant, he had charge of Fort Stanwix,
N. Y., and remained there until the close of the war.

II. Jonathan, son of Jonathan Horton and Elizabeth Goldsmith,
born at Cutchogue, L. I., about 1730; married Bethia Horton about

to Somerville, New Jersey, where he settled permanently and
where he died. He was one of the most pious and exemplary
men that ever lived, a zealous, active, intelligent Presbyterian.
He was a very strict observer of the Sabbath, and violation of it
by his neighbors always gave him great displeasure. Observing one
of his neighbors frequently chopping firewood on the Sabbath, he
went one Saturday afternoon and took his neighbor a load of wood pre-
pared for the fire, telling him it was to save him the trouble of chop-
ping his firewood on the Sabbath. His neighbor took it kindly, and
was careful afterwards to see that his fuel was all ready beforehand for
the Sabbath. It was a common remark of one of the most reckless
men of Somerville, that *'If all professors of religion would live like
Old Jason Horton, he would believe there was some reality in reli-
gion."

Jason Horton never failed to exert a strong influence for the Chris-
tian religion as long as he lived. And his wife also was a true help-
meet for him in this regard, possessing genuine piety and Christian
activity. She died at Somerville, on Sabbafh morning at 5 o'clock,
22 Aug., 1841.

smith. One of his hips was injured by sciatic rheumatism in early
life, causing him to be a cripple all his days. He was a stone-mason
and farmer, and notwithstanding he was lame, he still performed a great
amount of manual labor. He was a man of good judgment, and a
Justice of the Peace for many years, and was a man greatly beloved
and respected in the community. He and his wife were both members
of the Presbyterian Church. They settled in Blooming Grove, about

"Major Horton built the first framed dwelling-house on the west side of
the river in the township of then Wyalusing, now Terry. He was the
owner of the first two-horse wagon ever brought into Terry town, and
that wagon not only cheerfully bore the burdens he put upon it, but
also those of several of the neighbors. He also owned the first fanning
mill ever brought into the place. He built the first frame barn that
was ever built in the township. It was built in 1805, and is still in a
good state of preservation, and is owned by Edmund Horton.

The framed house mentioned above, built by Major Horton in 1806,
accidentally took fire on the 23 Sept., i86t, and was burned up.
Major Horton was a wagoner in the Revolutionary War, towards the
close of the war, and was stationed in Mamakating Hollow, and after-
wards on the Neversink Creek, not far from the present Port Jervis. He
was Major of a battalion of militia in Wyalusing, frequently held town-
ship offices, and was one of the leading men of the place. He was not
a public professor of Christianity, but his life in the main was in har-
mony with its teachings, and he loved, and was successful, in promo-
ting good order in society. He was universally esteemed, and at his
funeral a larger concourse of people were gathered than had ever before
been witnessed in this part of the country on a funeral occasion. De-
borah, his wife, was a woman distinguished for her eminent piety,
unwearied industry, and good economy; she knew well how to guide
the house. Their children were all born at Terrytown, except Eben-
ezer, who was born in Little Britain, N. Y., and Anna and Lydia,
who were born in Wvoming Vallev.

myra, N. Y., and took up land and settled about four miles north of
the village, where Mrs. Sarah Durfee, one of his daughters, now

Joseph L. Horton and his wife were very pious people, both worthy
members of the Baptist Church, beloved and respected in the commu-
nity. He was a farmer and shoemaker. He had feeble health for
several years before his death, wasting away gradually by consumption.
He was a very patient and industrious man, and towards the close of
his life, suffering fiom the ravages of disease, and much enfeebled, he
would still work at his occupation, making sometimes one shoe in a
day, and at others only half a one, according as he had strength and
breath. His end was peace.

and was buried at Cutchogue, L. I. Mr. Horton was emphatically a
servant of God. We here re-produce a portion of his obituary, which
appeared in the Presbyterian, of Philadelphia, shortly after his decease:
"Mr. Horton has been for forty years the indefatigable and successful
Tract Missionary of the Seventh Ward, New York City. When he
first assumed the important task of laboring for the spiritual interests of
this portion of the city, it was known as one of the most wicked and
wretched wards. The 'Sailor Boarding-houses' of olden times, with
their numerous ' land-sharks,' and temptations to sinful indulgence,
swarmed here In process of time, the greater part of this ter-
ritory was occupied by dwellings of opulent merchants. Then after
another period of years, a new generation found the older inhabitants
of the Seventh Ward crowded out, and their former homes became

filled with a population of the dregs of old country emigrants, or gave
place to shops and manufactories. Mr. Horton adapted himself and
modified his work to meet these successive changes, and calling to his
help a faithful band of distributors, teachers and visitors, made a
Christian influence to be felt, increasing its power by every available
means. A great multitude of conversions from year to year were the
result of his faithful labors. Admonished by the approach of old age,
he resigned his position as missionary, made all arrangements as to his
worldly affairs, wrote farewell letters, and quietly looked forward to
the close of his earthly career."

Hiram Horton possessed fine social qualities, was well skilled in
music, and always led the singing in the Congregational Church until
prevented by the infirmities incident to old age.

'' With the most limited opportunities for early education, he became
a great and profound thinker. He was an upright and conscientious
man, and largely shared the esteem of all who knew him. He was
a most sincere and ardent Universalist, living the life of the Christian,
and dying in the full and perfect triumph of Gospel faith and hope.
He and his wife were, for many years, members of the Congrega-
tional Church of Chester ; but about thirty years before his death, he
and his wife embraced Universalism, and avowed it openly ever
afterwards. Nevertheless, they continued to support the church and
worship within its walls, and we hazard nothing in saying that there
was no man in Chester, nor in all the region round about it, who was
more generally and highly respected for manly and Christian character
than Hiram Horton. Some time before his death he had requested
that a minister of the Universalist denomination should attend his
funeral services ; but the pastor of the church, the Rev. Luke I. Stout-
enberg, and others, refused to let them into the church, notwithstand-
ing that the salary of that preacher was paid in part by the ' Horton
Fund,' and the church itself had been built mainly by the Hortons.

joviality; and his humorous and genial nature was an unfailing source
of interest and life iji the family and in the social circle He was a
careful business man. Though long engaged in mercantile pursuits,
he never had occasion to fear financial crises or revulsions, living al-
ways prepared at any moment to honor his pecuniary obligations.
. Punctuality and promptness were marked characteristics of the man.
To perform was more pleasing to him than to promise ; in enterprises
for the public good he was always among the first. He was constable
for many years. Justice of the Peace for five years, and declined a re-
election ; was Treasurer of the County for two years, and was one of
the electors on the Democratic electoral ticket in 1848. He was Cap-
tain and then Major in the militia, and from 1828 to 1835 Brigade In-
spector.

Though not a public professor of Christianity, he was its friend and
supporter, and conscientiously and habitually practised its virtues. He
was uniformly in attendance upon public worship, and paid more
money for the Terrytown Tabernacle (Union meeting-house) than any
other person.

He was popular and pleasing in his manners, and politically a man
of mark, but never a politician — holding office only when the office
sought him. His end was quiet and peaceful.

" The * Angel's Whisper' stole in song upon his closing ear ;
From his own daughter's lips it came, so musical and clear,
That scarcely knew the dying man what melody was there :
The last of earth's or first of heaven's pervading all the air."

V. Eunice, daughter of Maj. John Horton and Deborah Terry,
born at Terrytown, 14 Jan., 1796; married in the old log meeting-
house at Merry All, Pa., 20 July, 181 7, by Rev. Minor Manasseh York,
to Thomas Ingham, Esq., son of Joseph Ingham and Pamelia Ellicott,
and born in Bucks Co., Pa., i April, 1794. The ancestors of Thomas
Ingham came from England. Jonas Ingham, the first known ancestor,
came to this country about A. D. 1700. By trade he was a clothier.
He married a Cheshire woman, who often told her grandson that she
landed on the ground where the city of Philadelphia now stands before
there was a house on it. They settled in Trenton, N. J., where their
son Jonathan was born, in 1709 or 1710. They also had three daugh-
ters. Jonathan Ingham resided in Bucks County, at a place known as
Ingham's Springs, where he owned a farm and woolen factory. He
was a rigid Quaker. A cotemporary, who was well acquainted with

him said, ^' He did not belong to the old aristocracy who governed
Bucks County before the Revolution, but his position in life and high
intelligence put him in their society." They made him a Justice of the
Peace^ a Judge of the Court, and a member of the Assembly. He died in
1 798 or 1 799, aged 89. He had 3 sons and 2 daughters. Jonas, his young-
est son, was born in 1 746. He learned the business of a clothier. January
3, 1 771, he was married to Elizabeth Beaumont, and soon after leased his
father's fulling mill, and was running it when the Revolutionary war
commenced. When the contesting armies came near, he enlisted, and
served first as a Lieutenant and then as a Captain in the militia. He
was in service in 1777, and in the battle at Gulf Mills. In the early
part of the year 1778 he was taken with a fever and sent home. He
afterward purchased land and built a fulling mill near the Delaware
River; he there lived some years and educated his children himself.
In 1789 he commenced a settlement on the Wyalusing Creek, being
the first settler above Lewis', on that stream. He was an ingenious
mechanic, and invented the machine for shearing cloth, which after-
wards came into general use. He was a good writer and public
speaker. In 1804 he was elected a meml)er of the Legislature from
Luzerne County. He died October 28, 1820. He had three sons and
three daughters.

Joseph, his eldest son, was born January 21, 1773, ^'"'^ ^""'^ father
taught him the common branches of education, including surveying
and algebra. While his father was making his first improvements on
the Wyalusing, Joseph remained at home in Bucks County, in charge
of the business. He learned the trade of a millwright. About the
year 1793 he married Pamelia Ellicott, and soon after bought three
hundred acres of land on the Susquehanna Rive^, at the mouth of the
Sugar Run. He moved his family to this place in 1795, and com-
menced building a saw mill in the fall of iSoi, and finished it in the
spring following. Soon afterwards he built a grist mill. His wife,
Pamelia Ellicott, died 17 November, 1824. He afterwards married
Laura (^Whitcomb) Vose, a widow, by whom he had two sons. He
had six sons by his first wife — no daughters. He died 11 June, 1829.
Thoma^s, liis eldest son, was educated partly by his father at home and
partly in the common-school at Wyalusing. He learned his father's
business of millwright, nmning mills and farming. He bought a farm
and settled first at Browntown, Pa. But he remained there but a short
time, when he sold out and came back to Sugar Run, and lived near
his father. After the death of his father, he bought the homestead,
and there lived until his death. He re-built the mills, and also erected

a store-house, and engaged in the mercantile business. While quite a
young man he was appointed a Justice of the Peace, and held that
office during the most of his life. His mind was well informed on all
general topics; his judgment was excellent, and he was noted for his
morality, honesty and truthfulness. He was mild and quiet in his man-
ners, but decided and firm in his purposes. Eunice, his wife, was
handsome in her appearance and pleasing in her manners, possessed a
lively and cheerful disposition, and was exceedingly energetic. She
managed all the affairs of her household with economy and skill, and
often assisted her husband in his business. When he was absent
she could as readily manage the business out-doors as in the house.
She was remarkably generous, and always had a bountiful hand for the
poor, and was active in assisting her neighbors who were in sickness or
trouble. Without making a public profession, both she and her hus-
band exhibited the virtues of Christianity in her daily walk and char-
acter. She died 2 March, 1S44. He died .14 August, 1855. They
were both buried in the Terrytown Cernetery;.

April, 181 1. He was an excellent farmer, owned a good farm in
^'The Bend" Asylum, now Wilmot Township, Bradford County, Pa.
He was engaged in early life in merchandising, and later in life in
raising and selling stock and grain. He possessed good business capa-
cities, and was a man of much influence and activity, of good, sound,
moral character, and well read in the sacred Scriptures, and in senti-
ment a thorough Old School Presbyterian or Covenanter, but never
made a public profession. He was fond of company, and always took
pains to make pleasant visits for his friends when they called on him.

Sally was a good housekeeper — industrious, economizing and a skill-
ful worker, often taking the premium at the County Fair for domestic
articles of her own manufacture. She possessed a wonderfully retentive
memory — readily stating, not only incidents that occurred at anytime
during her life, but also dates — dates of births, marriages and deaths
of all her acquaintances, even from her early childhood. She had a
peculiar faculty of stating a fact or circumstance so connected with
others as to leave no doubt of its truthfulness. She died in Wya-
lusing, 27 April, 1874, leaving to her family and friends the consoling
belief that she exchanged the cares and sorrows of this mortal life for
the full fruition of that world

"Where fragrant flowers eternal bloom,

And joys supreme are given ;
\Miere rays divine disperse the gloom,
Beyond the confines of the tomb,
The endless bliss of Heaven."

Mr. Morrow died in Wyalusing, at the residence of his son-in-law,
Andrew Fee, 10 August, 1873, where he had lain sick about four
months.

Hon. Elijah Morton's present residence is Oswego, Kosciusko Co.,
la. In a letter bearing date 23d Sept., 1874, he says: "You ask
for a short biographical sketch. This I rather decline, further than
to say that my life has been devoted to the judicial profession. I
studied law in Morristown, N. J., and practiced there until I removed
to Alleghany Co., N. Y,, in 1832. I served as first Judge of the
Court of Common Pleas of that county for about ten years. Soon
after moving into the State of Indiana in 1844, I was appointed Dis-
trict Judge, and I have served in that office, and also as a Justice of
the Peace ever since, until within a few weeks past when I resigned.
In looking over my past life, I see many things that I would not do
over again, with my past experience, especially would I say long and
loud. No, instead of Yes, as I often did. Your letter brings to my
mind views and opinions which I have been learning and experiencing
for many years of my past life. Habits have grown upon me imper-
ceptibly from my childhood. I have old diaries written in my
younger days, in which I find recorded rules for my own conduct, the
strict observance of which, has caused me many miles of travel and
hours of labor. For illustration, I recall one or two : ' Have a place
for everything, and keep everything in its place ' and ' Never put off
till to morrow what vou can as well do to-day.' I began life under
such rules, and I have always been tyrannically ruled by them. If I
forgot to do anything that I intended to do through the day, and hap-
pened to think of it after I had gone to bed, I could not sleep until I
would get up and do it, if possible, and if not possible there would be
no sleep for me that night. I have written this letter at one sitting
and feel pretty tired." The letter contained about four pages foolscap,

118 Seventh Generation. — Caleb I.

and it is no wonder that he, now just entering his eightieth year, should
feel tired. The greater wonder is that he could write at all. It is
written in a bold, plain hand, giving no indications of age.

was a merchant. He and his wife Fannie Moore, to whom he was married 2 May,
1872 ; went South early in the Summer of 1873. She came North by the advice of
physicians, and at her husband's request, as it was not considered safe for her to
remain there during the hot season. His mother writes : " We have passed through
a great bereavement. Howell died the 18 Sept. last. He was taken sick on Sabbath
with yellow fever, and died the next Thursday, at eleven o'clock. Our hopes as to
this world are all blasted, but we trust that he is with his Saviour, to whom he gave
himself in his seventeenth year, and from that time until his death, he lived a
Christian. So we may mourn not without hope."

tied at New River, five miles east of Boone. He has a considerable
quantity of land, and at the time Emancipation was proclaimed, he
owned six negroes. He has no inclination for anything but farming,

pioneer of the West, of former days.

The Colonel resides at the old homestead of his father, Col. Nathan,
owns good lands, and is an excellent farmer. He lost heavily by
Emancipation. He has been a very prominent man all his life — firm,
intelligent and generous. He was elected to the State Legislature in
iS32-'33-'34 and '35. He was a member of the Electoral College of
North Carolina, on the Henry Clay ticket, in 1844. He was again
elected to the State Legislature from Watauga County, in 1854. He
was a volunteer in the service of the Confederate States, in 1861, and
was elected Captain of Co. B., 37th Regiment North Carolina troops,
infantry, and he was in the seven days' fight near Richmond, Va. , to-
wards the close of which the command of the regiment devolved on
him. Soon after this, health failing, he resigned and came home, and

truly, that his house was robbed, in the spring of 1865, eighteen times
in fourteen days, by men professing to be, and wearing the garb of,
Union soldiers.

Stringham, married Johnston Blakeley Creighton ; died in 1862. 4. Elizabeth
Wynkoop Stringham, married Com. J. B. Creighton, being his 2d wife.

Silas H. Stringham entered the navy in June, 1810, as midshipman

on the frigate President, Commodore John Rogers. In 1S12 he was ,

assigned to the Guererre, under Decatur. In 181 3 he was on the

Spark, one of the Algerine squadron. In 1817, having been promoted

to a Lieutenancy, he was transferred to the sloop-of-war E?-ie, and in

18 1 8, to the Peacock. He was next ordered to the sloop-of-war Cyane,

in 181Q. In 1821 he was upon the Hornet, ist Lieutenant, at the West

India station. In 1S22 he was again on the Cyane, under Com.

Creighton. From i<S25 to 1829 he held a position at the Brooklyn

Navy Yard, and in 1S29 he was again assigned to the Peacock, and

sent in search of the Hof7iei, sloop-of-war, which was lost. We next

find him on the Falmouth, and ordered to Carthagena. From 1830

to 1834 he was in shore service. In 1S35 he has command of the

yohn Adams, in the Mediterranean squadron. In 1837 he is second

in command at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and from 1843 ^^ 1S46 he

had the full command of this yard. During the Mexican war

we find him in active service, and in command of the Ohio, ship-of-

the line. In 185 1 he was commander of the Norfolk Navy Yard; and

in 1852 assigned to the command of the Mediterranean squadron,

which he held till 1855. He is next in command of the Charleston

Navy Yard, which he held till May, 1859. In March, 1861, he was a

member of a naval Court-martial, and while there was appointed flag

officer of the Atlantic Blockade squadron. In 1861 Com. Stringham

was honored with the preparation of the first of those combined naval

and military expeditions which have crowned the American navy with

such glory; and in his case, as in many others, the success has been

almost exclusively due to the action of the navy. The result of this

expedition being the capture of the rebel forts Clark and Hatteras, and

the surrender of the garrison to Flag-officer Stringham and General

Butler, consisting of 715 men, 1000 stand of arms, 75 kegs of powder,

5 stand of colors, 31 cannon (i of them a lo-inch Columbiad), a brig

loaded with cotton, a sloop with provisions and stores, 2 light-boats,

150 bags of coffee, »S:c. Not a man belonging to the fleet was killed.

For this brilliant affair Flag-officer Stringham received the thanks of

the Government.

On the 23d of September, 1861, at his own request, he was relieved
from his command, and in August, 1862, he was made a Rear-Admiral,

126 Seventh Generation. — Caleb I.

on the retired list, and soon after this he was President of the Naval
Commission to locate a new Navy Yard. In 1863 he had command of
the Navy Yard and station at Charleston, S. C, remained there till
1866. In 1869 he was Port Admiral at New York, and served three
years. March 3d, 1873, ^7 ^^t of Congress, retired officers are pro-
hibited from being employed by Government, except in time of war.
Since that time the Admiral is permitted to enjoy a retired life, at his
residence, in Brooklyn, N. Y.

exploits of Admiral Stringham, see The American Crisis 0/1861-62,

I. Lebbeus Lathrop, son of Hannah Horton and Isaiah Vail, Jr.
(Silas, Barjiabas, Barnabas, Caleb I.), born in Goshen, N. Y. , 27
Oct., 1 791; married Sally Moore, a lineal descendant of Thomas
Moore, of Southold, L. I.

Children, probably all born in Newburgh, N. Y., where they settled
soon after marriage :

I. Charles. 2. Hector. 3. Azuba. 4. Nathaniel. 5. Hannah. 6. Wilmot.
7. Richard. 8. Sally. 9. Egbert. 10. Anna.

"He early engaged in the business of transporting Orange County
products to New York, and soon found himself in command ot a first-
class sloop, of extra heavy tonnage, and his carrying trade of mer-
chandise, passengers, &:c., became very extensive. The immense traffic
at White Hall Street, East River, prompted Captain Vail to seek some
other quarters, more commodious than that he occupied — the city at
that time having a population of only about 100,000. He soon found
an old acquaintance, formerly a Miss Horton, of West Chester Co.,
N. Y., who had married Mr. James Van Nostrand, a wholesale grocer.
An arrangement was soon consummated, by which Van Nostrand was
to move his stock to West Street, and Vail to leave East River and
land at the Albany Basin, adjacent to Van Nostrand's store, which
arrangement was at once announced to the Hudson River boatmen at
White Hall, when, in derision, they laughed at the young Captain's
presumption; but Vail and Van Nostrand soon had the laugh on the
White Hall advocates, for the entire craft from Orange County soon
followed Capt. Vail, discharging regularly his heavy loads of produce

from the Bayard,^ the first to establish a regular wharf for Orange
County produce and passengers on the North River side of New York,
and Van Nostrand's grocery was the first ever located in West Street.
The following summer Capt. Vail's eyesight became impaired, and he
moved to Goshen, New York, where he and Mrs. Vail were popular
hotel keepers until the year 1834, when he was elected Clerk of Orange
County, and re-elected in 1837, and again in 1840. In 1S32 he estab-
lished at Goshen a Baptist periodical, called the Signs of the Ti7nes,
which is still in existence, and edited and published at Middletown,
New York, by Elder Beebe, the venerable Old-School Baptist preacher.
He, also, in 1844, established in Goshen the Clarion, the first Free-
Soil newspaper ever established in this part of the State of New York.
His religious and political opinions were regarded as ultra or radical,
and he was a recognized leader of his sect or party. His general
urbanity and good judgment, and his enthusiastic nature, combined
with his fine appreciation of the arts, made him popular with all classes
of people. He died in Goshen.

''Mrs. Vail survived him over a quarter of a century. She was devo-
tedly attached to him and his children. She was a beautiful woman,
and her happiness seemed to centre in their welfare, which her husband
reciprocated by leaving her his entire estate, which she left unimpaired
at her death, after a life of over four-score years. Their youngest
daughter is the well known Madame Martinez, the eminent soprano
vocalist and teacher of the voice."

going record and sketch of Libbeus L. Vail and family.

Nathaniel Coe was an honest lawyer and an upright politician. He

possessed a superior intellect, and always commanded the respect and

esteem of his fellow men. He was long a magistrate, and for four years

in succession he represented Livingston and Alleghany Counties in the

Legislature of the State of New York. He was often an arbitrator,

both in the Church and out of it. In religion he was what was then

called, by way of reproach, a radical. In 1829 he went to Nevada.
In 1 85 1 he was appointed U. S. Mail Agent for Oregon. He finally
settled at Hood River, where, on the loth Oct., 1868, he died. For
several years before his death, he carried on an extensive business in
raising fruit, and became quite rich. He was a thoroughly anti-slavery
man, and while the Liberty party was in existence, he was its firm and
warm supporter, Mrs. Coe resides at Hood River, and her son Charles,
who was a superior young man, noted for his piety and sound moral
and Christian character, carried on successfully his father's business
until his death, which occurred 24 Dec, 1874. His mother said of
him, ''My heart's beloved has left me, nothing can fill the void. He
not only filled his father's place on the farm, but also at the family
altar, and notwithstanding his youth, older men came to him for ad-
vice on matters temporal as well as religious."

Mrs. Coe is an educated, refined and talented Christian lady — an
able and finished writer, and the author of many very pretty verses
and poems, and though aged, and having suffered much from ill
health, yet her penmanship is neat, and her thoughts and words fresh,
warm and vigorous. Speaking of her deceased little infant, Susan
Amelia, she says, ''To whom, like a dew-drop, kissed off by the sun's
morning beam, a beauteous existence was given, whose soul seemed to
come down to earth in a dream, only to wake up when it ascended to
Heaven," She has kindly given much valuible information in regard
to the Hortons of New Jersey and their connections, only a small part
of which can appear in the "Chronicles." Mrs. Coe's ancestors, both
on her father and mother's side, were originally from England.

Rachel Bennet, daughter of David Bennet and Mary Coe, and
grand-daughter of Huldah Horton, is a maiden lady, intelligent, well
educated and possesses good social qualities; she is a successful teac her.
We are indebted to her for many interesting letters, giving genealogi-
cal data of members of the Horton family. Her residence was in
Chicago, where she was a teacher a few years ago.

" So far as my knowledge extends, the Hortons as a family have not
been renowned for their attainments in literature, in the fine arts, or in
natural science; not distinguished as warriors or statesmen, or in the
learned professions. Indeed they have not been celebrated for great
heroic achievements of any kind. Nevertheless, with but few excep-
tions, they have been industrious, ])eaceable, law-abiding, and very
respectable citizens, possessing commendable self-reliance and inde-
pendence. • They belong to the middle class of the people — the class
which has always constituted tlie basis of a good-ordered, well-regula-
ted, and prosperous State and Nation. Let their merits and their vir-
tues be inscribed on the tablets of our memories, and jjreserved for our
veneration and emulation." — Letter of Harrison Faulkner Norton,

to Israel, my brother, w^ho now has it, and it i^ to be handed down in

It will hold about three pounds of common rifle-powder; nicely carved
on it are the words, ' Lieut. Israel Horton, his horn, made at Fort
Stanwix, Nov. 3, 1758.' The same paint is yet on it that he put on
it, and doubtless it will long be an heir-loom in the family of Israels. "

of Mrs. y. M. Horton.

The little girl whose death is mentioned above, was a remarkable
instance of early piety. She possessed a precocious intellect, which
very early became deeply pervaded with the religious element soon
ripening into genuine Christianity. Her death-bed scene, though she
was less than six years old, was like that of a matured Christian, exhi-
biting a brilliant trophy of Divine grace, deeply impressive and com-
forting to all who witnessed it,

I. Edgar Clayton, born at Clifton Springs, N. Y., 9 Feb., 1864; died 29 March,
1872. He was a wonderfully intellectual little boy.. He seemed to pass through
childhood and youth in a few months, and become, as it were, a man in intellect at
the age of seven years. He died of scarlatina. On the third day, knowing that his
sickness would prove fatal, he said, "Oh dear, I wish it would not be so long," and
then added, *' Methusalah only lived 969 years." At another time, when his father
was fixing the pillow under his head, he said, " I would rather have a stone for my
pillow, for Jacob, when he had a stone for his pillow, saw a ladder whose top reached
to Heaven, and the Angels of God ascending and descending upon it," Just before
he died he repeated the Lord's prayer, and then said, " I am ready to die and go to
Heaven," and in a solemn tone, added, " I go down into deep water," and soon
after, in a cheerful tone, exclaimed, "but I got into the Ark." On the evening of
the third day of his sickness, without a struggle or a groan, '' He neared the tide, —
sunk as to cradle-rest and died." 2. Minerva Inez, born in Arcadia, N.Y., 6 Sept.,

Joseph Homet Horton was born 2 June, 1842, at Terrytown,.

In boyhood Joseph possessed a person of rare physical beauty,
and evinced a bright and happy disposition. He was frank spoken,
open, genial and social. His native industry, all through his child-
hood and youth, displayed great aptitude for business. In all these
respects, as was the boy so is the man .

year he entered upon the English and the commercial courses of study,
in the Susquehanna Collegiate Institute, at Towanda, remaining there
through 1858 and 1859. He then continued as an efficient clerk in

father was proud of the valor and patriotism of his young son. Joseph
had become as his right hand, and was his main-stay in business. The
fond father hesitated to spare a son so dear to his heart, and so essen •
tial to the success of his affairs. At length, like tens of thousands of
other fathers, he made the sacrifice for his country, consented, and
allowed Joseph to enlist on the yth of August, 1862, at Wyalusing,
under Captain George W. Jackson, in Company ^'A," of the 141st
Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers. Joseph was a week afterwards
(August 14th, ~) elected ist Lieutenant of this Company.

In September his Regiment was assigned to the ist Brigade of Bir-
ney's (formerly Kearney's) Division in the 3d Army Corps. It was
almost immediately put into most active service. Five days after his
first battle (that of Fredericksburg,) Lieut. Horton was made Captain
of his Company, viz.: on the i8th of December.

On the 4th day of the following May (1863) Captain Horton was
engaged with his Regiment in the battle of Chancellorville, Virginia.
The Regiment went into this engagement with 419 men, and during
the fight had 234 killed or wounded ; and for its firm constancy and
bravery was warmly complimented, both by General Birney and General
Graham.

At Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, in July, 1863, this Regiment was
again actively engaged. , And of Capt. Horton, Gen. Madill, in his
report says: "Capt. Horton, though severely stunned by concussion
of shell, remained in the field, and I am greatly indebted to him for
his services, as he was the on/y Captain left with the Regiment.'' On
the 3d of July, at Gettysburg, Capt. Horton commanded the Regiment.
At the morning roll-call of this fearful day, 198 men answered to their
names; of this number, 136 were either killed or wounded. On the
31st of the following January (1864) Captain Horton was commissioned
Major, commanding his Regiment. And on the 28th of the next
month ^February, 1864,) he was commissioned Lieutenant-Colonel,
commanding his Regiment until Lee's surrender, April 9th, 1865.

On the 1 2th of May, Col. Horton was wounded, during the engage-
ment at Spottsylvania, Virginia, by a gun-shot through his left fore-
arm and in his left hip.

During his wounded condition, he was visited by his uncle, Hon.
George F. Horton, IvL D., and was tenderly nursed by his sister
Louisa, wife of Hon. Uriah Terry. While convalescing, and not yet
well enough to take the field, he was appointed on several Courts-
Martial, and also had charge of several convoys of new men, conduct-
ing them to posts along the southern sea-board.

'^

With his Regiment, he was honorably mustered out of the service at
the close of the war, INIay 28th, 1865.

Of Col. Horton's old Company "A," consisting of 117 members,
there were killed, 16; died, 0; discharged for disability, 20; discharged
for wounds^ 15; transferred to veteran corps for wounds, 7; transferred
to 57th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, for unexpired term of
service, 14; absent in hospital, wounded, 4; dishonorably discharged,
i; leaving, at the mustering out of the Regiment, of the whole 117,
only 31.

Col. Horton was engaged in the following battles, namely: Freder-
icksburg, Cedars, Chancellorville, Gettysburg, Wilderness, Spottsylva-
nia, Petersburg, Weldon Railroad, White-Oak Road, Sailors' Creek,
and at Lee's surrender; besidesparticipating in many small skirmishes.

Honorably freed from his military service by the happy close of the
war. Col. Horton hasted home to be the business stay of his aged father,
and was actively engaged in mercantile pursuits up to 1871.

In October (24th) 1866, he was married, at Worcester, Massachu-
setts, to Abby H. Newcomb, only daughter of Charles and Lucy R.
Neweomb, of that city. Miss Lucy Sanderson Horton is their only
child; she was born December i8th, 1872.

Since 187 1, Col. Horton has been living at Birch Creek (formerly
Bernice Colliery), Sullivan County, Pa., and is Superintendent of
"The Sullivan Anthracite Coal Company's" works, located at that
place.

The high appreciation in which he is held by the Company, is
shared by the community under his employ, who have several times
combined in tendering to him, as their Superintendent and considerate
friend, testimonials of large intrinsic value, but still more valuable as
evidences of their cordial and grateful esteem.

The Republicans of his County unanimously urged him as their
nominee for Congress in the fall of 1874, but were overruled by the
other Counties of the District.

LINES OX THE DEATH OF COUSIN DEBBIE.

She faded away in the early spring-time.

Ere Nature put on her robe of green,
And with a peaceful look in her clear blue eye?,

She calmly passed to the land unseen.

150 Eighth Generation. — Caleb I.

Oh, she has gone from us; so young and so fair,
Wearing all the charms of youthful bloom.

And around our hearts there comes a deep sadne?s,
O'ershadowing us in midnight gloom,

Earth's tenderest ties were twined around her.
And fain would we have had her stay;

But angels around the throne were beckoning
As if to hasten her flight away.

No fear of death could blanch her marble cheek,
Nor dim the pure lustre of her eye;

Through faith she looked above this fleeting world,
Where joys immortal ne'er fade or die.

Her face was radiant with heavenly glory
As she murmured a parting prayer,

And then we knew, by her saint-like beauty.
That the seal of death was written there.

We miss her, yes, we miss the cheerful sunshine

That she cast on eveiy side,
And we mourn the crushed and blighted hopes,

Of a fond and loving bride.

But there's a light to lure us homeward,
In this sorrowing world of ours;

And we'll strive to meet the dearly loved one
Where forever bloom unfading flowers.

HoRTON. — In Terrytown, Jan. 7, 1672, Miss Nancy T., daughter of Dr. G. F. and
Abigail Horton, aged 25 years.

Decided in her convictions, yet with charity for all, amiable in disposition and
warm in her affections, she won a large circle of friends, who sympathize with her
immediate relatives in this bereavement. She availed herself of every advantage
afforded to store her mind with useful knowledge. Diligent as a pupil, she was
successful as a teacher, exhibiting unflagging energy and patience in the school room,
she surpassed most in securing the love and advancement of her pupils. She was sus-
tained through a long and painful illness by an unfaltering trust in her covenant
keeping Saviour, and with her feet firmly set on the Rock of Ages liy a living faith,
fearlessly entered the dark valley, fearing no evil.

She referred to the following stanzas, as expressing her own hopes when near the
close of her earthly existence, and which are inserted for this as well as for their ex-
quisite beauty :

NEARER HOME.

BY ALICE GARY.

One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o'er and o'er —

I'm nearer to my home to-day
Than I have been before.

Nearer my Father's house,
Wheie the many mansions be,

Nearer the great white throne,
Nearer the crystal sea.

Nearer the bound of life,

Where we lay our burdens down,
Nearer leaving the cross,

Nearer gaining the crown !

But lying darkly between,

Winding down through the night,

Is the silent, unknown stream
That leads at last to the light.

Closer and closer my steps
Come to the dread abysm ;

Closer Death to my lips
Presses the awful chrism.

Oh ! if my mortal feet

Have almost gained the brink ;
If it be I am nearer home,

Even to-day, than I think ;

Father, perfect my trust.
Let my spirit feel in death

That her feet are firmly set
On the rock of a living faith.

[From the P,resbyterian.'\ ■
l:i Terrytuwn, Pa., on the yih inst.,^^?t$s ^ancy T. daughter of Dr. G. F. and
Abigail Horton, aged twenty-five years. . Born of pious parents, from infancy she
enjoyed the advantages of religious culture. In early; life she made profession of
faith in Christ, and ever after adorned that profession with a consecrated life and
godly deportment. She was among the first to unite with the then recently organized
'Presbyterian church at Terrytown, which she loved with the ardor of a sanctified
affection. Possessed of unusual decision of character and strong convictions of the
truth of her opinions, she nevertheless exercised a broad charity for those whom she
thought conscientiously differed from her. Her amiability, intelligence, purity, and
warm affection won her a large circle of friends, over whom she had great influence.
Her end was peace, and in full assurance of a blessed immortality. One incident,
among many others, may be given as illustrating the ground of her confidence.
Shortly before her death, clasping her arms around her brother's neck, she whispered :

" Nothing in my hand I bring.
Simply to the cross I cling."

This simple clinging to the cross was her support through the long months of
wasting sickness, the secret of her patience in suffering, and the staff of her strength
through the valley of the shadow of death. Com.

Eighth Getieratio7i. — Caleb I. 159

I. Harvey Addison, M. D., son of Dr. Harvev Horton and Marv
Bennet iBartiabas, Silas, Baf?iabas, Barnabas, Caleb I.), born at
Greenville, Orange Co., N. Y., 12 March, 1832; married in Middle-
town, N. Y., in March, 1859, to Fanny Caroline Beebe, daughter
of Elder Gilbert Beebe, the distinguished and able editor of the
"Signs of the Tifnes,'' and sister of the Hon. George M. Beebe, member
of Congress from Orange Co., N. Y., and born in Middletown, X. Y.,
exact date not given. Dr. Horton graduated in Albany Medical Col-
lege, Class of 1856. He established an office and commenced the
practice of medicine at Middletown, X. Y., and was very successful.
After his marriage he removed to Kansas, and settled at Atchison.
On his way returning home from a journey East he was instantly
killed, 3 Sept., 1861, by the fall of a bridge with a train of cars upon
it, one of which he was in, which spanned the Little Platte River, nine
miles east of St. Joseph, Missouri. The bridge had been partly burned
by the rebels, but left standing ready to fall when the cars came upon
it, for the purpose of killing Union soldiers. Thirteen persons were
killed, and over eighty badly injured by this barbarous outrage. The
Doctor's corpse was taken to Middletown, and buried in the Hill Cem-
etery by the side of his father, and mother, and sisters.

They had one child, Mary Evelyn, born 3 Aug., 1861. After the
death of her husband, the Doctor's wife returned to Orange Co., where
the little child died, 21 Oct., 1861, and was buried by the side of its
dead father.

Dr. Horton was a man of superior mental capacity, possessed high
literary talent, was deeply learned in his profession, and doubtless,
had he lived, would have attained to great eminence in the science of
medicine.

HI. Hon. Albert Howell, son of Dr. Harvey A. Horton and
Mar\ Bennet, born near Brookfield, in the town of Minnisink, Orange
Co., X". Y., 13 March, 1837; married in Middletown, N. Y., by the
Rev. Mr. Harris, 26 May, 1864, to Anna Amelia Robertson, daugh-
ter of William Wells Robertson and Adaline Sayer, and born in
Centerville, Minnisink Township, 2 July, 1840.

"dy

until 13 years of age, and then attended the " /'armer' s Ha// Academy,'^
at Goshen, Orange Co., New York, and was there prepared for college.
He entered the ''University of Michigan," as a freshman, and re-
mained there two years, but was compelled to leave college on account of
inability to study, owing to some trouble with his eyes. In 1857, he
entered the law office of Hon. Joseph W. Gott, at Goshen, New York,
as a law student, and remained there until December i8th, 1858, when
he was admitted as a counsellor and attorney at-law, at a general term
of the N. Y. Supreme Court, held in Brooklyn, New York. In 1859^
he went West, with his brother, and the Hon. George M. Beebe, now
member of Congress from New York State, to engage in the practice
of the law. He formed a partnership in the law business with Mr.
Beebe, under the firm name of Beebe & Horton, at Macon, Moscow,
Mo., in 1859, ^^^^ ^^0^^ parties soon became tired of Missouri, and re-
moved to Kansas. Mr. Beebe soon became Secretary of the Territory
of Kansas, and their acting Governor. Mr. Horton selected Atchison,
Atchison Co., Kansas, as his adopted home, and has resided there
ever since. In i860, he was appointed City Attorney of Atchison, by
the Mayor, the Hon. Geo. H. Fairchild. In the Spring of i86t, he
was elected City Attorney of the same city, on the Union ticket. In
September of 1864, he was appointed District Judge of the 2d Judicial
District, of Kansas, by the Governor, Hon. Chas. H. Robinson. He
was elected and re-elected to the same office, and then resigned in
1865, to continue the practice of his profession. On his entering
practice, he was again elected City Attorney of Atchison, and held the
position one year. In 1868, he was elected as one of the State Elec-
tors on the Republican State ticket in Kansas, and was selected the
messenger to take the vote of Kansas to Washington, to be deposited
with the Vice-President for Grant and Colfax. From i86t to 1864, in
addition to attending to the duties of Judge of the District Court, he
edited, with Hon. John J. Ingalls, the weekly '' C/iam/>ion,'' — a news-
paper printed and published at Atchison. Mr. Ingalls is now the U.
S. Senator from Kansas. In May, 1869, Mr. Horton was appointed,
by President Grant, U. S. District Attorney of Kansas, and he held
this office till July i8th, 1873, ^"^ ^^^^^^ resigned the position. Upon
the resignation of Judge Delabay, U. S. Judge of Kansas, in 1S74,
Mr. Horton's name was mentioned very prominently in connection
with the vacant Judgeship, and at a State Bar meeting, called to re-
commend names for the position, Mr. Horton was presented by the
majority of the lawyers present for the place. Owing to some difference
of opinion among the the Kansas delegation in Congress, however,

Eighth Generation. — Caleb I. 161

Hon. C. G. Foster, of Atchison, was appointed in his stead. Mr.
Horton still continues the practice of his profession at Atchison, and
is the local attorney of the Chicago and Rock Island R. R. Co., and
the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe R. R. Co., at that place. In March,
1873, ^^^- Horton was associated with the Hon. Caleb Cushing, of Mas-
sachusetts, in the defence of Senator S. C. Pomeroy, before the U. S. Sen-
ate Investigating Committee, charged to inquire into certain pretended
charges of bribery, connected with the Senatorial election in Kansas,
in January, 1873. After a lengthy examination. Senator Pomeroy was
acquitted by a majority of the Senatorial Committee. Afterwards the
charges against Mr. Pomeroy were dismissed in Kansas, and the case
against him never came to trial. In the Fall of 1873, ^^r- Horton was
elected by upwards of 500 majority to the Legislature of Kansas, and
took a prominent part in the impeachment of Hon. Josiah E. Hayes,
State Treasurer of Kansas. Mr. Horton was chairman of the com-
mittee which reported and carried the impeachment through the House,
in February, 1874, and was then appointed Chairman of the Board
of Managers to prosecute the impeached Treasurer before the State
Senate. The State Treasurer then resigned, and the impeachment
ended. In politics Mr. Horton is a Republican, but belongs to the
Conservative side of the party.

The celebrated York-Pomeroy Bribery Case was brought to a final
termination on the eleventh of March, 1875, ^^"'^ ^^^ $7>ooo historic
package was turned over to Mr. Pomeroy's counsel, the Hon. A. H.
Horton. Great credit is due Judge Horton for his untiring efforts in
having such an unjust and malicious prosecution brought to a close.

were not at all related as we know of; we have often spoken of it as
quite a singular coincidence."

Mrs. Gardner was the first to propose a general gathering and
SOCIAL UNION and re-union of the Horton family of our country,
which is to take place in Philadelphia in Jwiy-) 1876.

the county, and he has kindly given his assistance in looking up the

''The Patriarchs, Nathan and Samuel Horton, who settled in Bedford
Co., Pa., seemed to live in a quiet, Quaker-like way, as they left no
records save a few deeds and other legal papers, which we found on the
county records. They were both practical blacksmiths, and that trade
has been adopted by a great many of both families, and many of their
descendants are at this time the best mechanics of the country. I have
myself a set of blacksmith tools, brought from Philadelphia by my
grandfather when he moved out, and the bellows bears the brand ' D.
C. Dawson, Philadelphia, 1774,' and I do not keep them as an heir-
loom, for they are in active use almost every day."

''Many of the Horton Family of North Carolina have lived to old
age. They are generally regarded as a clever, honest, liberal, and
charitable people. They possess good social qualities, and are gener-
ally very popular, and these characteristics, capability being added,
account for so many of them holding public positions. Many of them
are public professors of Christianity, and belong to the Baptist and
Methodist denominations.

'' In politics they were formerly Whigs, — were all faithful to, though
not fully approving, the cause of the late Southern Confederacy. They
are now all conservative, and acting with the Democratic party.
Though generally intelligent, educated, and talkative, there has never
yet one of them been a preacher or a lawyer, and but one a physician.

ton family; under date of May, 1871, she says: ''In regard to leading
traits of character of the Horton family, I may speak of the disposition
manifested in my own line. Some might set them down as too dog-
matical. I do admit that most of them are rather tenacious of their
own opinions. Especially were my grandfather and his brother Bar-
nabas positive and firm men. But I do not think this trait of charac-
ter is so prominent in other branches of the family. In regard to
punctuality and uprightness, they can present as untarnished a record
as any other family. I have never heard of any of them being impri-
soned for debt or misdemeanor. Their social standing has always been
good. As to mental capacity, I believe they have generally been peo-
ple of good common sense. They have not, so far as I know, ever
made any special mark in the literary or scientific world. Politically,
as a general thing, they embrace and adhere to the Democratic idea —
the idea of freedom and equal rights. They have mainly followed
agricultural pursuits. I believe frugality has ever been a leading char-
acteristic of the family, in all its history, and we find this trait of
character still prominent, despite the great amount of prodigality and
unthrift witnessed in these times."

studied medicine, and attended medical lectures in the medical depart-
ment of the University of New York, during the palmy days of

Sixth Gene7 ation. — Jonathan I. 195

Mitchell and Hosack, and like these eminent teachers, he cultivated a
taste for patient, cautious and bold investigation, which afterwards
made him so distinguished and successful in the medical profession.

He commenced the practice of medicine at the residence of his
father;, and he soon possessed the confidence of the people and secured
a large practice. He afterwards moved to the village of Goshen, and
soon became a prominent man among his medical brethren, and,
though young, he was nevertheless called upon to perform all the diffi-
cult and grave surgical operations occurring in the village, and also in
the surrounding country. He was a good surgeon, but he was still
more celebrated as a physician. By his skill and honorable bearing,
he early secured the confidence of his medical brethren, and he was
frequently called in consultation with the aged and experienced phy-
sicians of his day. He was remarkably successful in the treatment of
fevers, carefully studying their pathology at the bedside, and also by
post-mortem examinations, and in his views he was greatly in advance
of the profession of his day. He prepared with great labor a work on
fevers, but never published it. His pamphlet on Dysentery, and his
Geological Reports, are his only published works, and these are suffi-
cient to establish his reputation as a profound thinker and a clear and
powerful writer.

At the bedside he was cheerful, affectionate and soothing, and
always dignified. In his intercourse with his medical brethren he was
always honorable, and in harmony with the code of medical ethics.

In the midst of his career of usefulness as a physician, he turned his
attention to the study of botany, mineralogy and geology, and soon
became one of the most noted men of his day in these sciences. His
great delight in these studies led him, at the age of 37, to relinquish
the practice of medicine and devote himself wholly to these sciences^
and had he lived a few days longer, he would have published a large
work on these subjects. The Doctor was also fond of archaeological
lore, and he was the first to attempt a genealogical history of the
descendants of our old progenitor, Barnabas, of 1640. The old Hor-
ton roll of names and lineage which he got up some 60 years ago, was
kindly furnished me by his son. Dr. William Horton, of Craigville,
N. Y., and has rendered me valuable assistance in compiling the
"Chronicles."

Dr. Horton was always rigidly moral, and never sacrificed principle
to expediency. He had early been taught to respect the teachings of
the Bible, and towards the close of his life he was lead, with a child-
like faith, to believe the doctrine of salvation by grace, and to pub-
licly give himself to the Saviour, wondering and regretting that he had

so long remained ignorant of the beauty, simplicity and sublimity of
the Gospel scheme of salvation. Thus he died, in hope of a glorious
immortality.

"Elizabeth M;isters was born in Minnisink, 21 March, 1757, then
a wilderness with but few inhabitants. When she was an infant
the settlement was attacked by the Indians. The mother, with her
child in her arms, fled, and made her way to a place of .safety, just
before being taken by the Indians. Her mother's sister, Mary Wal-
ling, was seized by them; and killed and scalped. Her grandmother,
Susan Walling, in making her escape through the swamps, sank in the
mire and mud. The Indians passed within a few feet of her, but did
not discover her. She was found by her friends aftc-r tlie Indians left,
and e.xtrirated almost dead, having remained in the mud almost one
whole day." — Letter of Henry Albert Horton^ 1^74-

'^ My Dear PViend and Cousin, Dr. Geo. F. Horton : ,

''Yours of the 5th came to hand on the loth inst. I was away

I would write to-day, and let you hear once more from your old cousin,
now nearly ?i2i years old

*' My father's name was Thomas Horton. My mother's maiden
name was Hannah Moore. My grandfather's name was also Thomas
Horton. He was a soldier in the Revolutionary War, and he and his
brother-in-law, Nathan Moore, were taken prisoners when the British
captured Fort Montgomery, and they were imprisoned in a vessel in
New York Harbor, called *a prison ship.' I never heard any other

name for it. In that prison, by hard treatment and starvation, they
were reduced so low that when set at liberty they both died before
they got home. There were several other prisoners on that prison
ship who lost their lives by the same cruel treatment.

''My father had ten children — 4 sons and 6 daughters — all lived
to be heads of families. I have often heard my father speak of a cer-
tain cup with the name of a bank on it, where a large sum of money
was left by his father. When that cup was taken to the bank they
could draw money. He said the cup was lost and how much money
with it he did not know."

May, 1848, by Rev. Abraham Luce, to Jerusha Worth, daughter of

Children, born in Southold :

I. Theodore Worth, born 7 Oct., 1849. 2. Edwin Willis, born 20 Jan., 1854.

Capt. Horton commenced a sea-faring life when about 19 years old,
with Capt. Nathaniel Case, in the ship Triad. With a crew of about
25 men, they made a voyage of about nine months in the South At-
lantic Ocean, in latitude 35 to 40°, and longitude 10 to 20°. The
voyage was prosperous and the business paid well. He afterwards made
a voyage on the Indian Ocean and South Sea. He followed the busi-
ness for 13 years, and during that time, he circumnavigated the earth
four times. It is a remarkable fact that, notwithstanding all the hazard
and danger of a sea-faring life, they never lost a man by accident or
sickness. They were all temperate men, and this had much to do
with their immunity from danger, sickness and death. The Captain
quaintly remarks that a half gallon demi-john of liquor was not used
by the whole crew, as a beverage, during any one of their voyages.
During the time he followed the sea he visited the Sandwich Islands,
the Society Isles, and also New Zealand. On the island of Owyhee he
saw the place where Capt. Cook was killed by the natives.

The last voyage was in 1846-47 and 48, and during this voyage the
Captain had command of the ship. He took but two gallons of spirits
with him on that voyage, and part of that he brought back with him.

The Captain is beautifully situated at Peconic, L. I. — has a beauti-
ful farm, which he knows how to keep in good order, and his house,
among the best in the township of Southold, is admirably kept by his
amiable and accomplished lady, and nearly every room in it is richly
ornamented with frames and cases of rare, costly and beautiful sea-
shells, most tastefully arranged, and all done by the delicate hands of
Mrs. Horton herself. Great skill and persevering effort were required
to accomplish so much.

at Keyport, N. J., 29 July, 1861, by N. J. Beedle, Esq., to Sarah
Wilson Babe, daughter of Joseph Babe and Margaret Wilson, and
born at Sing Sing, N. Y., 3 Sept., 1824. They have no children.

We are indebted to Mr. J. A. Shepherd, of San Diego, for the fol-
lowing interesting sketch of the life of Mr. A. E. Horton :

ALONZO E. HORTON.

To a person acquainted with this gentleman our introduction would sound unfa-
miliar. "Here is A. E. Horton, of San Diego," is all that he would allow to be
said before he would be acquainted with a room-full of strangers. His motto
is "action," and he has practiced it long and faithfully. He would leave ceremony
in the lurch to talk business, and never think apology necessary ; and we can think
of no better rule to follow in writing what we know of him.

His parents commenced their westward march in 1815, from Union, Ct., when
Alonzo was two years old. Their home for the next four years was in Stockbridge,
Madison Co., N. Y. Then a residence of two years in New Haven, Oswego County,
where the first school lessons were taken under the direction of Miss Patty Woodward.
When he was eleven years old the family reached the shore of Lake Ontario, in the
town of Scriba, and moved into their new log-house.

Then followed a year of muscular as well as mental discipline to the lad Alonzo.
His father was suddenly bereft of sight by a severe inflammatory attack upon his
eyes. School was two miles away, and to and fro our student made his morning
and evening tramps in pursuit of knowledge. But he was the eldest boy of the
household, and to him after study came toil. His evenings were spent in basket-
making, which assisted largely in providing for the wants of the family. Thus for
about a year he bravely essayed to lift the burden from his father's shoulders.
From that time until he was half through his twenty-first year, he wns first assistant
wood-chopjier on the home-lot, where they filled Oswego orders for hewed timber.

He commenced business for himself by purchasing the remaining six months of
his minority, agreeing; to pay $50 to his father for that purpose. In eight months
from that time he had been a grocery clerk at $12 a month ; a lake sailor before the
mast ; and the last half of the time owner and captain of the " Wild Goose," a small
vessel he had purchased, and put into the wheat trade between Oswego and Cnnada.
His marine speculation proved quite a profitable one for those days ; he sold out
and closed business, paid all his obligations, and had $300 in his pocket. During
the winter of 1834—35 he learned the trade of a cooper, and his specialty for a time
was flour-barrels. Then the city of Oswego elected him constable, by the largest
mnjority given to any man on the Whig ticket. The young officer was too kind-
h'. arted to make his office pay, and he lost all he made in trade by failing to enforce
payment from poor debtors according to law. Out of office he invested $7 in a con-
tract for land, and in a month made $336 on the venture. Young Horton had
another strong point, which was often brought into play in the inevitable wrestling-
matches incident to town-meetings of long ago. His 130 pounds was a most
animated and unmanageable load for his largest companions to handle, and
at " square hold " he was the acknowledged champion of the township. Yet he was

pronounced a consumptive by Dr. Van Schaick, with the advice "Go West it may

do you good ; but I think it probable you will not live more than six months." He
took the doctor's prescription, and went West.

He landed in Milwaukee, in May, 1836, and soon after was one of a narty of six
on the trail for the Rock River country. There were no roads, and the best inn to
be found was to turn in their blankets under an oak tree. But the mosquitoes
promptly presented bills for their lodgings. After thirty nights camping, they
reached the cabin of Mr. and Mrs. Janes, the parents of the now lively city of Janes-
ville. Theirs was the only house, and that about ioxi6 feet in size, but immense in
hospitality. After partaking of the latter, the party (among whom were the names
of Churchill, Odell, Ogden and Jewett) continued on until reaching the foot of
Koskonong Lake, where each one made a quarter-section claim, built a cabin, and
went back to Milwaukee. One of those claims, at least, was left for another pre-
emptor, with the cabin thrown in, for Horton was soon too busy to think farther
about it. Others waited, with hands in pockets, for the appi-oaching land sales • he
took up the shovel and worked on the new streets. Money was worth too much to be
wasted by idleness. A working-man always gains more profitable knowledge than
a loafer. His capital was labor and observation, and out of these were to be
wrought a fortune.

Of the two hotels then in the new city, he had selected the Bellevue for his lodcy-
ings. Two bits a night paid for his share of a room, and his own blankets were bed
and bedding. His room-mates were sometimes as many as sixteen ; and his rule
was " early to bed." Two nephews of the Receiver at the Land-Office came in
one evening full of an important secret which they must talk over. The young fel-
low who worked on the road was the only one retii-ed, besides themselves, and his
hearty snoring satisfied them that he was beyond hearing. Their authority was offi-
cial, so no danger of mistakes. The bills of the Michigan vState Bank and Farmers'
and Mechanics' Bank would be taken at [lar at the land sales, and consequently
would be as good as gold, and worth the premium of at least 10 per cent. They
would quietly gather it in for the occasion. The next day our sleeper was not shovel-
ing on the street. He was learning the whereabouts of holders of certain styles of
Michigan currency, and was soon doing a brisk exchange business with his New
York Safety Fund Savings, amounting to ^300. At night he was in his room,
happy in the prospective addition to his funds; but there were two other persons
there who thought they had little success in securing the coveted currency. It was
unaccountable, for were they not ihe only individuals to whom the secret had been
imparted ?

The sales of Government land commenced the following day, and Horton was
present with his receivable funds. He bought no land, but his money was in imme-
diate and continuous demand. Many times during the sale he retired to replenish
his bank stock by exchanging bank notes with numerous parties according to previous
arrangement. The enterprise was a financial success. Here his quick perception
did him good service, for he was marked as a prize by a thieving gang. One of
them formed his acquaintance on the evening of a profitable day, and tried to learn
his intended movements. Yes, he would soon go to his lodging-place; but that
night he concluded it would be best for him to remain where he was, and he did so.
But another young man, about his age, and similarly dressed, was w^aylaid on the

very route Horton was expected to travel, caught, gagged and carried off to a safe
place for robbery. In the dark they had captured the wrong man, as his empty
pockets and the cut of his coat proved on careful examination.

Thinking the country a safer place, he went out three miles, to where his uncle,
Dwight Foster, was superintending one of the first saw-mills built m Wisconsin.
While there another attempt was made to entrap him. One, Robinson, came from
town to inform him that a man named Johnson would take a named sum for some
land which he had talked of buying. He must be sharp if the trade was secured,
and should take his money with him for that reason. Horton promptly decided to
take more, and quietly deposited a loaded pistol in each pocket of his hunter's coat.
His caller carried a suspicious-looking hickory cudgel, altogether too cumbersome
for a cane, and explained that he had been tracking a wild animal, which he hoped
they could identify by the marks. In a low, marshy place, a little off their road, its
tracks were most clearly made. Descending to the spot indicated, he urged Horton
to follow him, and determine what sort of creature had crossed there. Instead of
complying Horton presented a pistol, told his man if he found no tracks there
as described, he would shoot him without further notice. The villain was outwitted,
and preferred returning to town a short distance in advance of the ready weapons
of his captor. It was ascertained that Johnson knew nothing of the fellow's errand,
and that the only foot-prints about the miry trap in which Robinson had hoped to
catch his game, were made by himself. He was next heard of, a few years after-
wards, in the Iowa penitentiary, committed for horse-stealing.

Returning to the East Mr. Horton passed the time until 1S40, in various places
and employments, the last being at St. Mary's with the American Fur Co. His first
western hofiie was purchased in the town of Oakland, Wis., that year, to which
locality his father and family followed not long after. In a few months more he
had established himself matrimonially and hapjnly. Three years engaged in miscel-
laneous trade, land figuring as the principal item, he became a cattle-dealer. He
bought his beef in Illinois, did the largest part of the driving, and averaged
two trips in five weeks. He furnished his cusumiers so satisfactorily in his own and
adjoining counties, that in one year his original capital of $150 was increased to
$4,000. In St. Louis he saw profits in land-warrants, and bought sufficient
to locate 1,500 acres of land. Out of this investment grew the village of Hoiton-
ville, in Outagamie C«)., Wis. His first town was buried in the woods, and he went
to work with eight men to cut a four-mile road to his proposed mill-site. By the time
he had lots to sell, he was sawing lumber with which to improve them. The prices
and payment for material was of small account with the proprietor. Houses must be
built, whether settlers had money or not. In a year from the completion of the
mill, 150 people were living in Horton ville, and at the end of two years sold out the
remaining property, being $7,188 better for his enterprise.

In 1851, Mr. Horton went to California for the first time. Mining-stock was his
first business experience, and it cost him $1,000. It was his last transaction in that
line also. Spent a few months at mining in El Dorado and Placer Counties,
and then opened a store at Pilot Hill. There also he devised and constructed a
ditch 6^ miles in length, purposing to supply the miners with water as well as other
commodities. At the end of a year he had sold out his water-works and other in-
terests for 16,500, of which sum he had used ihe larger portion in his improvements.
Next he was trading in gold-dust on account of Adams' Express Co., realizing

usually $30 a day in commissions^. A day or two before ihe failure of his employers,
in 1853, a friend suggested to him, that his money remaining in their office at — — ,
might be safer in his own pocket. It was " a word to the wise," and before noon
the next day he had ridden 30 miles, and much to the dissatisfaction of the agent,
drawn his money from the safe of the company. His next care was for his friends
hard at work in the mining-camps and elsewhere. To all whom he could reach he
gave the hint, and thousands of dollars were secured, by his prompt efforts, to those
who had earned the money by the hardest of toil. The following day the express
offices were closed, and payments suspended. He was in capital standing in the
mining districts where he had operated, and resumed the business with himself for
banker. He bought at the mines and sold in the towns, often with a profit of $4.50
per ounce. He was a man of dust, and with his native adroitness, managed to carry
valuable deposits of the precious article upon his person without a single mishap.
Sometimes his outer garments would scarcely secure him other than the slightest
attentions. His landlords were afraid their bills would be unpaid, except his fares
were collected in advance. He arrived one evening at one of the rough taverns of
those times, with treasure enough about him to incite the gamblers about him to
worse crimes for its possession. His good clothes were covered with very dirty over-
nils and woolen shirt. In calculating Yankee phrase, he interrogated the proprietor
as to his accommodations for man and beast, and the reasonableness of his charges.
Card-playing ceased for a time in the general astonishment, then the party shouted
with laughter at the green chap from Connecticut. They bantered him to play off
a Yankee trick. He showed them how to eat the mush and milk, which he had
stipulated for as his supper, and with a yawn of indifference to the jests made at his
expense, he signified his desire to sleep. The door of his room was without lock or
bolt, but the landlord laughingly assured his guest, that he would be the last man
anybody would think of robbing. He awoke next morning from an undisturbed
sleep, and at breakfast-time was up and dressed. He passed over a small package
of dust in settlement, which was accepted and pronounced all right. Word was
sent to the stable, his horse could now be brought out — his bill was paid.

"Mister, want to buy some more o' that stuff?"

"Yes;" replying with a surprised look.

" How much ?"

"Suppose I can buy a.\\ you have to sell,"

*' Will you treat this 'ere crowd ef you can't ?"

" Yes, I will, a.ndyeo7i, too."

Diminutive sacks of dust were handed to the wondering host, and the coin
counted out in return. By the time $2500 had exchanged hands, the landlord's
^20-pieces were exhausted, and our Yankee had played the " trick" with a ^250
pile still in reserve. The laugh came in then louder than the night before; and as
the glasses were being filled the buyer of gold-dust remarked, irreligiously, that he
would have robbed the fellow himself if he had known how he was playing him.

The business was as suitable as profitable to the man, and so well did he manage
it, that his profits for the last quarter of 1854, were ^looo per month. Another suc-
cess was in a novel undertaking for those golden days. He went prospecting for
ice-fields, and finding a favorable situation 25 miles above Georgetown, in El Do-
rado County, put up 312 tons of the cool mountain product. A few months after-
wards the speculation returned him eight thousand dollars.

212 Seventh Generaiion. — -Jonathan I.

In March, 1856, amoug the passengers on board the steamship Cortez, for Panama,
was Mr. Horton. Soon after their arrival at the isthmus, the memorable rising of
the natives took place. The mob would have had easy work in carrying out the
plan of outrage and plunder, but for the prompt and courageous action of our friend
and a few of his companions. Among nearly 200 people from the steamer, who
were dining at the hotel where the attack was made, there were but three with
fire-arms. The announcement that the rioters were coming, caused a stampede
from the table to the upper rooms. On bursting into the house, the leading ruffians
were halted at the stairway by Capt. Horton and his aids, and as the attempt to as-
cend was made, a few effective shots drove the assailants into the street. Imme-
diately the reign of terror and bloodshed began.

" Please, sir, save my father!" was an appeal from a little boy, as he pointed to
where a swarthy assassin stood taking aim at a defenceless man. The American's
revolver was leveled and fired just in time to render the other's shot harmless by
his own fall. Others were protected by the same faithful hand and stern purpose
as they retreated towards the only place of safety — the American steamer. Arriving
at the water, the crowd rushed on to a small steam-tug, and but for ihe quick
thought and bold action of mir leader, would have been overtaken by the pursuing
mob. He took command, gave his orders to fasten to a lighter near at hand, trans-
ferred his passengers to the larger craft, and signalled the engineer to start for the
Cortez. Fortunately, he was obeyed without question, and a more successful trip
was never made by the Wild Goose and her commander on Lake Ontario ! His
money loss was some $10,000, but he co\ild count untold gain in the saving of lives,
and to this day he refers to his participation in those fearful scenes with satisfaction
not to be calculated in coin.

On their arrival in New York, Mr. Horton was named by his fellow-passengers
as the person to proceed to Washington, to make a statement of the occurrences at
Pan;ima, in response to a call from the authorities to that effect. From that time
until his marriage in 1S61, he made several journeys between Washington and Wis-
consin, as a witness in the riot case and a claimant for damage. His testimony was
important in deciding the demand for reparation made by the United vStates upon
the Government of New Grenada. His own claim was most strenuously and suc-
cessfully opposed by -the Spanish commissioner. He had done too much injur)' to
his peoj^le to have -4/V losses repaid. All other claims were not so objectionable ;
and as a compromise in the final settlement, the man who deserved a General's
commission for courage and strategic skill, and liberal pay for the personal risks
taken in liis defense of American citizens, was stricken from the list of creditors.

Starting again for the Pacific coast soon after the civil war was began at Sumjtter,
he included a trip to British Columbia in his travels. At Lewiston, on the Colum-
bia River, he began to think of the outfit needed for the journey. His effects inven-
toried one gold pencil, a single-barreled pistol, and $15 cash. To his brother-in-law,
Mr. Charles Wright, who was one of his traveling companions, and much better
provided with equipments, he intimated that he must do a little trading h^ioxt. he
could proceed. In half a day he had exchanged his jewelry and pistol for a pair of
horses; sold one of them again at a clean profit of $50; paid $15 for a third ; and
early in the afternoon returned to camp with two good animals, fine revolver, sad-
dles, blankets, and about $60 in money. Trading was his special success — specula-
tion invariably a failure. For a distance of 1400 miles through the northern wilder-

ness, that Lewiston revolver brought clown most of the game upon which the com-
pany feasted by the way. In the Salmon River country, trees and the feathery snow
furnished most comfortable bedding. They sold their surplus provisions to a British
customs officer on the route, at a profit of 66 per cent. At Lytton, they replenished
their stoci<, and loaded five of their horses with saleable goods. They found a mar-
ket at Williams' Creek for flour at $i.oo per pound, and for bacon at ^1.25.

Arriving at the Carriboo mining district, the party bought the " Darkey's Claim."
It was a rich prospect, and they worked the lead until snow closed the operations,
taking an ounce of gold from a bucket of dirt. At this time the claim would have
sold for thousands of dollars. After wintering at Victoria they returned to make
their fortunes, securing a force of workmen at ^10 a day. After working four feet
further their riches "jumped " and vanished beyond recovery. Not a hundred feet
ofif three miners were taking out 75 ounces per day, and others doing equally well.
But the ''Darkey" had "runout," and the owners accepted $200 for their lost
treasure. Mining has had no attraction for him to this day.

When Mr. Horton reached San Francisco again, his financial condition would
have caused a "panic "in any other man. In capital he was *' broke," but in
nothing else. Then as now, there were the strength and elasticity of steel in the
man's spirit and nerves. He first tried a stall in the market; but the dollar a day
realized caused him to retire from business in a short time. Buying and selling a
ranch in Rio Vislo concluded his real-estate operations in that part of the State.
He was a dealer in second-hand furniture in San Francisco, when he first heard San
Diego discussed as one of the great cities of the future. The value of its harbor and
climate was the topic of the evening at a private literary gathering where he was
a frequent listener. What he had heard so impressed itself in his thoughts that
he could not sleep that night, until he had jumped out of bed, and satisfied his in-
quistiveness by a careful study of the map of California. The situation seemed
revealed as a prize especially for him. He determined to secure it, and — slept.

Here was the opportunity long sought and never despaired of. In three days the
stock was disposed of, and the store closed. The proceeds were small- — perhaps
less than $500. No one among his friends could be induced to join him in his vis-
ionary enterprise. Alone, on the 6th of April, 1867, Mr. Horton reached San Diego.
It exceeded his expectations, and obstacles in the way of purchase were quickly
swept aside by his indomitable energy. The few people there were having such a
quiet time, that they had become indifferent to the charm of office. The first w )rk
was to get an election called for Trustees, those officers only being empowered to
sell lands belonging to the city. Candidates were provided and elected. The de-
sired property was legally advertised and sold, and on the llth day of May follow-
ing, a deed of some 750 acres was made. Thirty-six cents an acre, and but one bid-
der I Mr. Horton was the happy purchaser, and little did he care that his invest-
ment was looked upon by most of the 150 people then in San Diego, as a wild
expenditure of money.

The work of advertising the new city was immediately commenced. The tin case
in which he carried the first map of '' Horton's Addition to San Diego," through the
streets of San Francisco, is carefully treasured in his office, and could not be bought
for its weight in gold. Horton was everywhere, and irresistible in glowing dreams
<:)f the future of his ciiv. ?Iis labors were untirinij from the time he measured off

blocks and lots with a tape-line, and laid out the streets for his workmen to clear
from cactus and sage-brush, until the winter of 1869— '70, when his sales averaged
$15,000 a month. From ;^3,ooo in 1867, his receipts increased to nearly $85>ooo
in 1869. His money built up the place as fast as received, and it is safe to state,
that 5300,000 have been used by him for that purpose.

This is but an imperfect sketch of Mr. Horton's business career in San Diego.
He has richly earned the sobriquet of "Father of the City," and the respect and
best wishes of his fellow-citizens. His faith and works have been the life of the
place, when crops failed for want of rain, railroad hopes were delayed, or croakers
insisted on publishing its death as a certainty. Long may Hcrton live, and great
the prosperity he may witness in the pet child he has so bravely matured — HIS OWN
San Diego!

Ml . Horton is a man of liberal views, and has always been an ardent and practi-
cal advocate of political and religious freedom. To the poor, both black and white,
he has been a faithful friend. To-day, an honest man in homespun receives as
cordial a grasp of his hand, as the man in broadcloth and fine linen. That he has
the sympathy and respect of the masses of his fellow-citizens, was manifested in a
most gratifying manner in the vote given him in his county for State Senator, in the
contest of 1871. His opponent was the Democratic chief of the county, that had
never before failed to give a large Democratic majority. San Diego honored the
Republican Horton with a majority of 50, and he only failed in election by the
adjoining county (forming the balance of the district) voting as usual, largely Dem-
ocratic. Socially he is a warm-hearted, affable gentleman, true to his friends, and
watchful of those who play him false. Temperate in his habits, and always active
in mind and body, his health is as robust, and his personal appearance as young as
most men at 50 years. Last and best tribute to his character, is the kind care for his
parents in their heljiless age, and that love for his MOTHER, which to her was the
deal est and last earthly tie broken in her departure to the better Home.

LINES

ON THE DEATH OF COUSIX NAiSTCY T. HOETO]^.

The 3'ears are passing, but their changes

Do not allay our pain ;
For oft in the hush of the twilio-ht hour

We hear her lovino- voice ao-ain.

We hear her step on the floor beside ns,

We turn to o-reet her there.
And as we would take her outstretched hand

We only meet — a vacant chair.

We wander with noiseless step

Again in her silent room ;
There are her pictures and her books,

But, alas ! they're shrouded in gloom.

No speaking eye is there to see

The beauty of earth or sky;
No melody cheers our sadness

But the song bird's floating by.

We think of the pupils whom she loved.

And taught with a teacher's pride;
They too will fondly remember

The days spent by her side.

Oh death I why did you rob us
Of the treasure we held so dear?

Why did you enter again our household
Claimino; another victim here?

o

Why was the work so quickly ended,

Of a short but useful life ?
For she lived not for herself alone

Amid this busy world of strife.

;■; ^

"Simply to the cross she clung"
As she stemmed the rolling tide —

With fall assurance in her faith,
We know she lived and died.

The tears in our eyes are gathering,
But we brush them sadly awayj

For afar in the distant future,
We see an unclouded day.

Yes, there we shall bind again,
These sundered broken bands;

There with the dearly loved and lost.
We'll meet with clasping hands.

We rejoice in tlie proniise left us.
That she has only gone before.

For soon we shall win our crown of joy.
Across the vale on the other shore.

APPENDIX.

/ Malone, N. Y., i6 August, iSyi.

Geo. F. Horton, M. D.:

My Dear Friend: Your very kind and interesting letter of the
i8th inst., came duly to hand some days since. I have often heard it
said that the Hortons of this country sprung from two brothers, who
emigrated from England at an early day, and that one of them settled
in Massachusetts, and the other on Long Island. My ancestor, Stephen
Horton, I think, was a descendant of Thomas Horton, who settled in
Springfield, Mass., perhaps a son of Thomas. My brother, John Hor-
ton, many years since obtained from Dr. Horton, of Hartford, Ct.,
the genealogy that I send you. There was many years since a Dr.
Horton who resided at Springfield, whom my eldest sister visited, and
who was a relative of ours. He had a son who was also a doctor in
New York City, and also engaged in the grocery and provision busi-
ness. I think he is dead. I am satisfied that Barnabas Horton was a
brother of Thomas.

Stephen Horton settled in West Springfield, Mass. He had two
sons, Benjamin and Stephen. Benjamin, born in 1720; died at
Brandon, Vermont, 13 Jan., 1803. He left two sons, Gideon and
Moses, also a daughter, who married a Mr. Underwood.

Gideon Horton was born in 1744, in West Springfield, Mass.; mar-
ried Sarah Douglass, great aunt to the Hon. Stephen A. Douglass.
He died at Brandon, Vt., 16 Dec, 1801, His sons were Hiram,
Gideon, Jr., and John. Hiram, born 5 March, 1764, at West Spring-
field ; married Sarah Drury, 16 June, 1785, at Pittsford, Vt.; moved
to Malone, Franklin Co., N. Y., in 1808. He was one of the leading
men of the county, holding the office of County Treasurer, and first
Judge of the Courts for several years. He died 5 Oct., 1824.

He owned a large quantity of land, also mill-property, and several
mercantile stores. He belonged to the Presbyterian Church, and was
active and consistent in its duties. He had three sons and seven
18

II Appendix.

daughters. Sons were : Harry, John, and Hiram, Jr. (myself), all
born in Brandon, Vt. Harry, born 22 July, 1796 ; died in Constable,
N. Y., 22 August, 1840. He was a farmer, a merchant, and a manu-
facturer of flour and lumber. He belonged to the Congregational
Church. He had two children, Hiram Safford Horton (married and
settled in Wisconsin, and has a large family), and Delia A.. Horton,
who married Howard E. King, Esq., merchant at Malone. John, son
of Hiram. Sen., born 22 Dec, 1797; died at Madrid, St. Liwrence
Co., N. Y., 14 Oct., 1859, without issue. He was also a member of
the Congregational Church, and followed farming, milling, and lum-
bering. Hiram, Jr., born 22 April, 1799 ; resides in Malone, N. Y.;
married 20 Jan., 1822, Adaline Wead. Has three children, all born
at Malone, N. Y. I. William L. Horton, born 28 Oct., 1822 ; died
19 Sept., 1861. He was a lawyer; left two children : George F. and
Anna M. Horton. H. Adeline Mead Horton, born 21 Jan., 1834;
married in Oct., 1864, Myron G. Horton, grandson of Dr. John Hor-
ton, who was the son of Gideon Horton, Sen., being her 3d cousin.
They reside at Malone, N. Y., and have two children. HI. Frederick,
born 22 August, 1838, and died 13 April, 1867, childless. I have now
named the male members of my branch of the family, and for the fam-
ily of Gideon Horton Jr., I refer you to Dr. Charles W. Horton, of
Brattleborough, Vt., one of his sons, and for the family of Dr. John
Horton, I refer you to his son. Dr. Geo. Horton, Winauskie Falls, Vt.
The Hortons seem to have been given largely to the medical profession.
When your work is accomplished, I shall be glad to have you send me
one copy. I am yours, truly,

HIRAM HORTOx\.

Mr. Horton, the writer of the foregoing letter, was a highly-respected
member and Elder of the Presbyterian Church of Malone. He died
31 August, 1873. He was a dealer in flour, lumber, and dry-
goods, real-estate, and merchandising of various kinds. Mrs. Myron
G. Horton, informing me of his death, remarks that she is now (1874)
the only one of his children living.

17^ West 30 St., Cincinnati, Ohio, May^ 1871.

Dr. Geo. F. Horton :

Dear Sir : While at Pomeroy a few weeks since on a visit, my
father showed me your letter, requesting information in regard to our

Appendix. Ill

descent, and asked me to answer your questions. I am not really in a
condition to give you any particular information, for the reason that
the notes I once made on the subject, when, in 1864, I graduated at
Dana College, are out of my reach. A sketcli of our genealogy and
history had to be recorded in our ' Class Book," and I there broke
ground in this to me until then, unattractive field, in obedience to
that necessity. The main facts that I recall are, however, these : I
did not get very far in tracing my descent. My father, Valentine B.
Horton, was the son of Zenas Horton, who was the son of David Hor-
ton — David was born near the beginning of the last century; no! in
the 2d or 3d decade, and fought in the old French war, and was also a
soldier in the Revolution, and was killed at Saratoga. He lived in
Braintree, Mass. Zenas Horton moved thence to Windsor, Vt.,
where my father was born. Beyond David I did not spend labor
enough to penetrate; but I was rendered nearly certain, I remember,
that he was a grand-son and great-grand-son, respectively, of two cer-
tain Thomas Hortons, one of Springfield, and the other of Charles-
town, Mass., the elder of whom landed in Dorchester, from the
schooner Mary and J^ohn, in 1633. Barnabas, of Southold, I remem-
ber coming across, but I was obliged, after following that track for
some time, to give him up, and settle upon Thomas, the ancestor of

David I shall be glad to communicate with you further on this

subject. My address I have already given at my office (law), as
above, and believe most sincerely yours, S. DANA HORTON.

T have had some correspondence with this gentleman since the date
of the above letter, but he has given no further information as to his
lineage. The above would run thus: 6. S. Dana; 5. Valentine B. ;
4. Zenas; 3. David; 2. Thomas; i. Thomas. Some links are missing,
for certainly, counting from the first Thomas, S. Dana Horton must
be in the 8th or 9th generation. S. Dana wields the pen of a ready
writer, and he has achieved considerable notoriety in the political
reform literature of the day, especially in favor of so using the elec-
tive franchise as to give increased representation to minorities.
Several of his articles have appeared in the Penn Magazine, of
Philadelphia.

Barrington R. I., March 21th, 18 ji.
Dr. Geo. F. Horton :

Dear Sir: Your letter of inquiry lies before me, supplying more
information than I shall be able to give you. Ours is a Boston family,

IV Appendix.

where my father and grandfather both resided. We were six brothers
and four sisters, all of whom lived to their maturity, but of whom
only five now survive. The eldest of these was Rev. Jotham Horton,
of whom you inquire, who died in Boston, in Feb., 1853. His son,
Rev. Jotham Horton, died, a martyr to freedom, by the mob spirit in
New Orleans, some years ago. Our father's name was Jotham, who
was a ship-smith, and did the iron work of the historic frigate
Co7istitutio7i.

Our family being large, my parents allowed me to go into the coun-
try (Worcester County), at the early age of seven. I was educated a
paper-maker previous to entering upon a course of liberal education.
Thus separated from home, I had less knowledge of our ancestry than
might otherwise have been the case. Supposing that my surviving
brother at Mobile has better information regarding our ancestry than
I have, I take the liberty of forwarding your letter to him, requesting
him to supply any intelligence he may have at hand. He having
been long a resident there, and loyal to the Union, is an ex-Mayor of
the city, appointed by Gen. Pope, and is at present, happily for him.
Judge of Probate for the County. His address is " Hon. Gustavus
Horton, Mobile, Alabama." From him you will probably hear soon.
Wishing you much success in your laudable investigations, and quite
willing to recognize any of our cousins in the Keystone State,

I am yours, &c., F. HORTON.

The Rev. Francis Horton, writer of the foregoing letter, was one
of the excellent of the earth. He was a scholar and quite a poet, and
an able and much loved minister of the Word. He died in 1873.
It is highly probable that he was a descendant of Joshua I.

In connexion with this, we give the following thrilling article,
which was published in the Boston WatcJwian and Reflector, soon
after the barbarous murder of the Rev. Jotham Horton :

LAST HOURS OF A NEW ORLEANS MARTYR.

AN AFFECTING SKETCH.

"Good-by, Emma," he said, '*! shall not be gone long. It can't
lake more than ten minutes to open the Convention, and then I shall
come right away. Look for me at three o'clock, at farthest," and the
young pastor kissed his wife and hurried away to the city.

That day was destined to be one among the most memorable in the
annals of human wickedness since the famous St. Bartholomew's. The

Appendix. V

members of the Union Convention had looked forward to it with ap-
prehension. They knew that the spirit of the late rebellion still sur-
vived in New Orleans, and they could not hope that they should be
permitted to assemble without some molestation from disorderly indi-
viduals, but they had no suspicions that the masses of the city would
rise against them, organized for deliberate bloodshed. They did not
know that all the arms had been bought up, till the gun-shops con-
tained not so much as a pocket-pistol. They did not know that the
Mayor had telegraphed to the President that there would certainly be
a riot, and had received the assurance that the military would not in-
terfere with the civil power. They did not know that the police force
had been increased by the addition of a gang of blood-thirsty men,
and that the municipal authorities had agreed upon signals, and
arranged to begin the riot themselves. Watched by no suspicion, and
awed by no Butler's strong right hand, the conspirators were suffered
to perfect their preparations, and when the morning of the 30th of
July dawned, the treacherous officials appeared at the station-house
fully armed, and waiting the opportunity for their bloody work.

The pastor of the CoUeseum Baptist Church, Rev. Jotham W. Hor-
ton, had been requested to open the Convent io \vith prayer. Moved
by the warmest Christian sympathy for the freedmen, this young New-
England minister had gone to the South with his wife, to give his best
energies to their welfare. He was a man of sincere piety and a large
heart ; pure as a little child, self-denying where duty was concerned to
an extent that often made him suffjer, and so peaceable that though
repeatedly insulted, and even once fired upon, and though conscious
that he was fatally marked by malignant disloyalists, he would never
go armed.

After taking leave of his wife, Mr. Horton proceeded in the cars
from his residence in Carrolton to the city. Ever apt to look hope-
fully on the worst prospects, and slow to suspect evil of his fellow-men,
he had felt no fears of injury for this day, beyond perhaps a forcible
seizure and commitment to the parish prison.

The hour arriving for opening the Convention, and Mr. Horton
having entered the hall, stood up to offer prayer just as the clock struck
twelve. Strongly and fervently his words came up, breathing petitions
for the peace of his country and the deliverance of the oppressed.
God heard him, but with that prayer His servant's work ended, and
then He gave him for a little* while to the cruel wrath of his enemies.
that He might make that wrath praise Him. Immediately on the
sounding of the stroke of noon from the city clocks, and simultaneously

VI Appendix.

with the opening of Mr. Horton's prayer, the armed police filed out
of the several stations, three hundred strong, and marched toward the
Institute. Some of them entered the hall during the prayer, a mob in
the meantime rapidly collecting round the door, and hardly had the
good man uttered the closing ''amen" when a miscreant fired a bullet
at his head.

There could be no longer any doubt of the intentions of the officers
and the mob. The latter assailed the windows and crushed in at the
doors. "Kill him! kill him!" they yelled. "Shoot every cursed
Yankee in the house!" Just then all the bells in the city began to
toll. It was the preconcerted signal of slaughter, and now the horrors
of the day began.

The disloyalist ruffians rushed in with pistols, knives and clubs, and
commenced their appointed work of murder. Resistance was hopeless.
The Convention broke u]) in the wildest confusion, some of its mem-
bers falling dead, and many mortally wounded in the hall, while a few
who could, fled. The Union men saw that they were dojmed. Instead
of protecting them, and arresting the rioters at the firing of the first
shot, as with their force they could easily have done, the police headed
the attack, and there is reason to believe that one of their number fired
the first shot.

Mr. Horton received five balls in his body, and fell. These balls
were fired by policemen. Not satisfied with their work, they seized
him, battered his head with their billies, stabbed him, kicked and
dragged him on the pavements to the first station, the mob follow-
ing behind, cursing, beating and trampling him with their shoes.
Thrusting him into a cell, he was left mangled and senseless.

Meantime the shopkeepers of the city had closed their stores, and
strolled about, gratified spectators of the fiendish carnival, greeting the
murderers of Horton, and every squad of policemen that passed them
dragging a bleeding loyalist, with shouts of " Good ! good ! Kill the
wliite nigger."

Around the Mechanics' Institute and in the adjacent streets upwards
of one hundred negroes lay weltering in their blood, and the dead
carts drove by loaded with warm corpses and bodies of the wounded
still writhing with life, all tumbled indiscriminately together.

In one of these carts the mangled Horton was flung, after lying awhile
at the station-house, and under a stifling load of dead and wounded
negroes, his stomach crushed in by a blow of a heavy pjank, he was
taken to the Marine Hospital.

Furious with the taste of blood, the police and their fellow Thugs
raged up and down some of the streets of the city, calling out the

Appendix. VII

names of well-known loyalists, declaring their intention to slaughter
every Union man in New Orleans. In the mieist of the excitement and
carnage, the bayonets of Federal troops appeared, and further murder
was prevented. The mob dispersed, and the blood-stained streets, and
battered windov/s, and muffled groans from distant hospital wards
alone testified to the horrors of the 30th of July.

As the hours of that bloody day passed, the wife of Mr. Horton
waited at her home, five miles distant, for his return. Three o'clock
came, the limit he had set for his absence. She looked long and anx-
iously to catch a glimpse of him approaching along the familiar street.
He did not come, and her anxiety grew into alarm. To add to her
terror, a breathless messenger arrived at her residence, and warned her
that she would not be safe there that night, for trouble had happened
at the State-House, and the secessionists were searching for all the
Unionists in the city and suburbs. Hastily summoning the negro ser-
vant, she told her to bar the doors and windows, and with a few hur-
ried preparations then set off for the city, to learn the fate of her
husband.

Having formerly boarded with a Mrs. E , she took her way

first to her house, and made known her anxious errand. She was told
of the riot and massacre, and at once feared the worst. Several young
men who boarded at the house volunteered to search for Mr. Horton.
They returned late in the evening, but could give her no news, save
that he had been badly wounded. They dar^d not communicate their
own convictions of his fate.

Only the darkness of the dangerous streets and the restraint of
friends prevented the almost distracted woman from going forth that
night to continue the search herself. As it was, the night brought no
sleei) to her eyes, and as soon as it was morning she started on her sad
errand.

Information had been received through the city papers that Gen.
Baird, the military commandant, had released all who had been
arrested and confined by the police, giving the name of her husband
among the rest, and stating that he had returned home. Acting on
this representation, she went alone to Carrolton, but only to return
by the next train. He was not there. Without waiting for breakfast
she set off for Gen. Baird 's headquarters ; a young Methodist clergy-
man, Mr. Henry, 'one of Mrs. E 's boarders, insisting on being

her company.

No sooner did Gen. Baird see Mrs. Horton and knew who she was,
than he expressed much surprise that her husband had not been seen^

VIII Appendix.

and told her he had ordered his release. Perhaps she would find him
at the City Hall. To this place she immediately went, but she searched
in vain. He had not been there. She then hurried to the First Police
Station, determined to wring from the brutal officers a confession of
what they had done with her husband. Entering the office, she forced
her way within the rails, and asked of the clerk what had been done
with her husband. The man declared that '^Preacher Horton" had
been sent by him to Charity Hospital, and she at once hurried thither.
Again she was disappointed. He had not been seen there ! (The truth
was, the cart which carried Mr. Horton's body had stopped there, and
been sent away, as it appeared to be occupied only by blacks.) The
horrible idea now suggested itself to the afflicted woman that her hus-
band had been conveyed away with a load of dead bodies, and had
been buried alive, but, as a last resort, she determined to visit the
Marine Hospital. This was in a low and distant part of the city, and
devoted entirely to negroes, and she could not have believed he would
be carried there by his worst enemies, but at a friend's suggestion she
sought the place, still accompanied by Mr. Henry.

Arrived at the gate, she was refused entrance, but catching a glimpse
of Dr. Harris, the head surgeon, whom she knew, she called to him,
and asked him if her husband was there. Dr. Harris could give her
no positive assurance, but immediately ordered the servant to admit her.
Forgetting her weariness in her joy that her long quest had at last suc-
ceeded, the faithful woman bounded up the steps, and without waiting
to be directed, rushed in among the patients, found out her husband,
and sank exhausted upon his bosom. What a spectacle ! The form
she loved a bruised and helpless mass of flesh and blood, his head
swollen to the size of two, his left arm useless, and his right shattered
and mangled. He moved perpetually about with the restless, nervous
gestures of a dreaming infant. So badly trampled and beaten was
his head and face that his eyes were blinded, and a painful retching,
produced by the injuries to his stomach, obstructed his breath and
speech. But through all the anguish and darkness of his wreck he
knew his wife. That she should have recognized him is a miracle
to all who do not understand the inspired sagacity of a wife's
affection.

**Wipe my face, Emma," he gasped, as if she had been bending
over him ever since he fell

Worn and broken-hearted, the poor woman sat down by her hus-
band's side, and tried to strengthen herself for the task of soothing
and comforting his last hours, for she knew too well that he could not

Appendix. IX

live. Nineteen long hours she had searched for him, and now to find
him thus !

Few comforts were to be found in that hospital, though the attend-
ants, seeing her distress, evidently meant to treat her kindly. Up to
this time the wounded man had lain in the warden's room, but on
the next morning, which was Wednesday, he was removed to a more
airy apartment. The operation of trepanning was then performed on
his head, though with little hope of permanent benefit. When this
was over, and the burden upon his brain was thus relieved, the suf-
ferer looked up and repeated,

" When I can read my title clear
To mansions in the skies,
I'll bid farewell to every fear.
And wipe my weeping eyes.

" Should earth against my soul engage — "

Here weakness prevented him, and he whispered to his wife,

''You finish it."

He slept a good deal, but seemed always conscious of his wife's
presence, frequently putting up his restless hand to touch her face,
and remind himself, in his blindness, of her loved features. When
he talked, it was of his unfinished work, his conviction of the justice
of the cause in which he fell, his anxieties for his wife, left alone in a
cruel world, and of his enemies and murderers always forgivingly, as
if they knew not what they did. At different times, too, he spoke
of the riot, relating facts and incidents as I have s^*- them down.

It affiicted him much to leave his wife penniless. He had had a
little money in his pocket when he came to the Convention, but that,
with the gold studs in his bosom, had been plundered by some of the
ruffians who took part in mutilating his person.

Thus he lingered until the sixth day after his injury. When the
morning of Sunday, the 5 th of August, came, he remembered that he
had an appointment to exchange pulpits with a colored brother in the
city, and said,

"Emma, we must send word to Bro. Miles that I can't come. I
don't feel quite well enough to preach."

As time went on, his mind began to wander, and he fancied him-
self in his own pulpit. He invoked the Divine blessing, he gave out
a hymn and sung, wounded and suffering as he was ; his wife, who
wept as she thought of the melody of his own fine voice, joining him
at his request, half choked by her tears. Then he prayed with her,
18*

X Appendix.

sung again, and preached, taking for his text, ''Out of the abundance
of the heart the mouth speaketh." After these exercises, he expressed
his wish to close with the Lord's Supper, and immediately began the
beautiful ceremony. His wife, anxious to gratify him, skilfully aided
with such meagre conveniences as were at hand, to carry out his touch-
ing fancy. He partook with her what seemed to him the symbolic
bread and wine.

"We both drink from the same cup, Emma," said he.

Another hymn, a benediction, and the sufferer began to grow weak,
as if, indeed, his work was done.

''I am going now, Emma," he whispered. "I'm sorry you can't
come with me. In the fall you'll come."

Then there were no more connected sentences, but incoherent syl-
lables of prayer, and whispers of saintly hope, "In the vale — the vale
— home yonder — good-by," and at six o'clock that Sabbath evening
the gentle-spirited Horton fell asleep in Jesus.

Thus perished a martyr to freedom and equal rights, as sincere and
pure a man as God ever welcomed "through great tribulation " to the
immortal pleasures of His presence.

To the tender consideration of her friends, never so numerous as
now, and to the merciful consolation of Almighty God, who never
pitied her as He now pities her, we commend the weeping widow,
and pray that she may long live to share the honor of her martyred
husband's fame. THERON BROWN.

MoNSON, Mass., May 2yth, i8y4.
A. E. Horton, Esq.

My Dear Sir : I have received several copies of the '^ San Diego
Union,'' the last No., April 30, also a copy of the " World,"" March
20th, which contains a picture of San Diego. Also a sketch of the
city on a small sheet, which gives an account of the origin of the new
city, and of your relation to it as the founder and the source of its
enterprise.

For these favors I desire to express my cordial thanks. The growth
of your new city is indeed wonderful, and a brilliant future is certain
to come. Were I a young man, the temptation would be strong to
cross the continent and join in your great enterprise. But my future
is short, and must be devoted to the commemoration of the past.

It has so happened that in my work as the genealogist of my native
town of Union, I have recently devoted special efforts to the two

Appendix. XI

families of Horton and Burleigh. Dr. Horton, of Terrytown, Pa.,
proposes to publish the annals of the Horton family in this country,
nearly all of whom are the posterity of Barnabas, who came from
England.

I have in charge the genealogy of Rev. Ezra Horton, your grand-
father, and have nearly completed the collection of nearly all his
descendants of the fourth generation (to which you belong), from Rev.
Ezra, of Union. I have the names, with dates of birth, of three of
your father's children who (including yourself) were born in Union.
The rest of your father's family I have not. I desire very much to
obtain a complete list of all the children of your father's family, with
date of births, marriages, and deaths, so far as possible. I under-
stand that your father is still living, though at an advanced age. I
have an obituary notice of your mother, published in a San Diego
paper soon after her death, a year ago last March.

Rev. Lucien Burleigh, the son oi Rinaldo Bia-leigh, of Plainfield,
Conn., is endeavoring to obtain a complete record of all the descend-
ants of John Burleigh, the first comer of the name to which your
mother belonged. Your mother was first cousin to Rinaldo Burleigh,
who was a long time Principal of Plainfield Academy, and the father
of a number of sons who are well known as writers, and as editors.

I visited Union last week, and saw my uncle, Capt. Chauncey Paul,
and his wife, whose name before marriage was Polly Armour, daughter
of John Armour. They both recollect your father and mother. John
Armour was a near neighbor of Mr. Jacob Burleigh, and the children
of the families grew up together.

The effort of Rev. Lucien Burleigh will result in obtaining full
accounts of all branches of his family. I was able to give him a full
account of the children of the first comer, John, and his wife, Meriam
Fuller, whose ancestry I have traced far back among the early settlers
of Willington and Ashford, in Conn., and in Rehoboth, Mass.

My interest in the two families of Horton and Burleigh, arises not
from the recent efforts to procure genealogies of those two families
by parties specially interested. I have long been engaged in collect-
ing facts pertaining to the history of Union, my native town. I have
made it a point to study the history of all the early settlers and long
residents. I have traced the ancestry of very many back to England
and Scotland, through the Scotch-Irish emigration, which took place
nearly one hundred and sixty years ago. Very many of the early
settlers of Union were Scotch-Irish— as the Pauls, the Lawlors, the
Moores, the Armours, the Crawfords, the McNalls, and others who,
like all the race, were genuine Scotch in their character, and were

XII Appendix.

among the best of the emigrants of the olden times. They were not
connected at all with the modern or ancient Irish race.

The Hortons, Burleighs, and Laflins were genuine Englishmen in
their ancestry. So were the Fosters, the Badgers, the Sessions, the
Newells, the Loomises, the Abbotts, and the Waleses.

From that little town, a great many enterprising emigrants have
gone forth to people the mighty West. The people of Union, in re-
spect to enterprise and education, are higher than the average emigra-
tion of towns in Connecticut and Massachusetts. My long and patient
explorations into the history of Union, has led me to such results as
that I am not ashamed of the fame or the name of my native town.

Having lost all my own children, and always cherishing a sincere
regard for the people of Union, I determined long ago to find out all
I could of their history and the fortunes of their descendants.

The old town holds its own in population and in valuation. I have
a good memory of all who have lived there during the last half cen-
tury, and I think the town is as respectable now as it was in my child-
hood. Some of the worthy names of the olden time have wholly
gone ; though the descendants of some remain.

It is an interesting circumstance, that from that little town you have
gone forth, and on the other side of the new world have laid the
foundations of a great city. Thus New England has sent forth its
best mind and muscle to build up new States in this greatest Empire
of freemen the sun has ever shone upon.

New England was founded by the best people of Old England and
Scotland. I like to look back, and also forward. It is well that all
parts of our great country can be able to trace their origin to common
sources. Great as are the intervening distances in time and space
which separate the different generations, yet are they not wholly
severed in interest, nor ought they to be separated in sympathy. I
hope that my long studies in relation to the families of my native
town, will be of some benefit in making those of the same name some-
what acquainted with each other; or at least it will prevent those who
are of kindred race and blood from utter forgetfulness of each other.

Very Truly Yours,

C. HAMMOND.

The Rev. Mr. Hammond, writer of the foregoing letter, is, and has
been for many years past, the Principal of Monson Academy. His
work is nearly ready for the press. Prof. Hammond kindly furnished
us the records of the descendants of the Rev. Ezra Horton, of Union,
which will also appear more fully in his history of Union.
