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 "_Swallow_" 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 children 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 prayer, 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 Griffin's Journal._ - -Barnabas Horton was a man of deep-toned piety, and a warm advocate -of civil and religious freedom. He was one of the most prominent 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 Goldsmith Horton, the last -Horton occupant of the old house. - -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, -together 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 Puritans 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 - 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 used 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 standing, -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 diligently, 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 -Jonathan 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 -forwarded 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 - Hashamamock, aboute whom BARNABAS HORTON, one of ye Constables - last yeare, which was 1656, also, Constable in 1659. 29 - May, 1661, Barnabas 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 1654-'56-'58-'59 and 1661. 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 - Connecticut 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, 1680. 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 carefully -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, 1597._ - - 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, 1748-'49._" - -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 Henry 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. Henry - Tuthill, departed this life the 4th day of January, in the year - 1750, aged 84. Bethia Tuthill, wife of Henry Tuthill, departed - this life March 16th, 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 -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 _tun_, enclosed. The name is evidently of -Latin origin, and has been known in England ever since the conquest -of Cæsar. - -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 been, _producers_ rather than _consumers_, and for industry, -integrity, and piety, they will lose nothing in a comparison with the -renowned 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 to 1638. -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. -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 Jeremiah -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 Cæsar'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 therewith -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 born - about 1576. - - 2. Joseph, born about 1578.--_Burke's Landed Gentry, vol. 1, p. - 345._ - -It is held that this Joseph settled in Mousely, Leicester Co., -and was the father of Barnabas Horton. It is highly probable that -Barnabas 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 -him, from the White Line 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,[1] 'Yennycock.' Mr. John Youngs, -who had been a minister at Hingham, England, came over with a -considerable part of his church, and here fixed his residence. He -gathered his church anew on the 21 Oct., 1640, and the planters -united themselves 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 -fundamental article of the constitution. They were, therefore, for -a number 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 -Corwin."--_Trumbull's History of Connecticut._ - - -CHAPTER VII. - -Documentary History of New York, vol. ii., p. 439.

We commence -with the Christian name. Then follows the parentage, genealogical -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 first 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. - -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 -discovered, 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. - -_Terrytown, 10 Jan., 1876._ - - - - -_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 '38, landed at Hampton, 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, 1640. - -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 I. - - 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. - - 8. Mary, married Joseph Budd, son of John Budd. - - 9. Mercy, married Christopher Youngs. - - 10. Abigail, married Charles Booth. - - - - -_Second Generation.--Joseph I._ - - -I. JOSEPH, the first son of Barnabas I., was born in Mousely, -England; exact date of his birth has not been found. Probably 1635. -He came to this country with his father. He married, about 1655, JANE -BUDD, daughter of John Budd, one of the original thirteen Puritans, -who settled 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, Westchester County, New York, to which place -his father-in-law, John Budd, had previously gone. - -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 Committee -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 1690-'91 -he was devisee of his brother Benjamin, and his brother Joshua was -executor. In 1695 he was chosen one of the vestrymen of the church, -and 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 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 - circumstances. 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 apprenticeship for several - years. On the 17th of October, 1827, I married Phebe Tompkins, - and on the 9th of March, 1820, we moved to Peekskill village, - where we have resided ever since. I bought some property, - and set up the blacksmithing business. I succeeded well - in the business. In the spring of 1835 I entered into a - co-partnership business with Mr. Truman Minor, under the firm - name of 'Minor & Horton,' and went into the foundry business, - manufacturing agricultural implements, principally 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 - manufactured 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 - purpose. Having been in active business for thirty years, I now - retired. In the spring of 1855 I was elected Supervisor of the - town of Cortlandt, and I represented that town in the Board of - Supervisors for five years in succession. - - "In the winter of 1858, I was a member of the Legislature 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 -gentleman of correct moral deportment, and very temperate in his -habits. Mrs. Horton is an amiable lady, and a valued member of the -Presbyterian Church. - -[Illustration: Frost Horton] - - -V.

Horton] - -The following auto-biographical sketch of Dea. John W. Horton, -contained in one of his letters, is interesting and well worth -preserving: - - "I was born in the town of Colchester, Delaware County, New - York, on the 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 winter. 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 - commenced preparing for building a new house, and I then gave - up going to school, and worked through the winter at quarrying - stone and getting 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." - - -II.

His love for his country overrode all - personal considerations, 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 willing 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.

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 preparing 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.

She possessed an -excellent moral and religious character; was a worthy member of the -St. James Episcopal Church, of Milwaukee, in which she took a lively -interest, and was distinguished for her generosity--especially 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. - -[Illustration: Yours Truly - -H. L. Horton] - -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 seventeen years -old. He received but a moderate common-school education, and, during -his school-boy days, he was noted for his activity and sagacity, and -early exhibited more than ordinary business capacity. 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 they sold out to H. W. -Langford & Co., and with them he continued his clerkship until they -closed business. Shortly after this, he was engaged for one year -by O. D. Bartlett, Esq., of Towanda, Pa., as clerk in his store, -and at the expiration of that time, he entered the store of Joseph -Powell & Co., of Towanda, with whom he served as clerk until 1854. -He always gave good satisfaction to his employers. Having by his -industry and economy laid up a small sum of money, he decided to go -West, and leaving Bradford County in 1854, he traveled extensively -in Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin, until he neared the bottom -of his purse, without locating or engaging in business anywhere. 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 business in -Milwaukee, with about $15,000 in pocket, he went to New York City, -and immediately engaged in the banking and broker business, in which -he has continued until 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, he is still doing a fair business, and, to use his own -language, he "has always managed to pay a hundred cents on the dollar -and never _failed_." - -He possesses excellent social qualities, is kind-hearted, generous -and noble, and at his banking house, 56 Broadway, New York, or at -his island home, those who visit him will meet with such a frank -and cordial reception as to make them feel that they are not only -at home, but at the home of one whose words and deeds define the -character of a true gentleman. - -Mr. Horton was married 2. in Trinity Chapel, N. Y., 12 October, -1875, by the Rev. Dr. Weston, to Sara Patten, a lady of culture and -refinement of the city of New York, and an esteemed member of the -Episcopal Church. - - -II. HORACE, son of Wm.

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 prepared for the fire, telling -him it was to save him the trouble of chopping 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 religion." - -Jason Horton never failed to exert a strong influence for the -Christian religion as long as he lived.

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 was Major of a battalion of militia in Wyalusing, -frequently held township 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 harmony with its teachings, and he -loved, and was successful, in promoting 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. Deborah, his wife, was a -woman distinguished for her eminent piety, unwearied industry, and -good economy; she knew well how to guide the house.

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 territory - 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." - - - - -_Seventh Generation.--Caleb I._ - - -I.

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 Congregational 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. Stoutenberg, and others, - refused to let them into the church, notwithstanding 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. - His funeral had to be attended in the Presbyterian Church, - the Presbyterians generously offering them the use of their - church."--_Obituary of Hiram Horton._ - - -XIII.

Horton possessed more than an ordinary fund of cheerfulness -and joviality; and his humorous and genial nature was an -unfailing source of interest and life in 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 always 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 Captain and then Major in the -militia, and from 1828 to 1835 Brigade Inspector. - -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.

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 daughters. 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 1798 or 1799, -aged 89. He had 3 sons and 2 daughters. Jonas, his youngest son, -was born in 1746. He learned the business of a clothier. January 3, -1771, 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 afterwards came into general use. He was a good writer and -public speaker. In 1804 he was elected a member of the Legislature -from Luzerne County. He died October 28, 1820. He had three sons and -three daughters. - -[Illustration: Thos. J. Ingham.] - -Joseph, his eldest son, was born January 21, 1773, and his 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 River, at the mouth of the -Sugar Run. He moved his family to this place in 1795, and commenced -building a saw mill in the fall of 1801, 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. Thomas, his -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, running 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 -manners, 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 -husband exhibited the virtues of Christianity in her daily walk and -character. She died 2 March, 1844. He died 14 August, 1855.

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 District - 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 imperceptibly 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 you 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 happened 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, 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. - - -I.

In 1812 he was -assigned to the _Guererre_, under Decatur. In 1813 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 _Erie_, and -in 1818, to the _Peacock_. He was next ordered to the sloop-of-war -_Cyane_, in 1819. In 1821 he was upon the _Hornet_, 1st Lieutenant, -at the West India station. In 1822 he was again on the _Cyane_, under -Com. Creighton. From 1825 to 1829 he held a position at the Brooklyn -Navy Yard, and in 1829 he was again assigned to the _Peacock_, and -sent in search of the _Hornet_, sloop-of-war, which was lost.

In 1837 he is second -in command at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and from 1843 to 1846 he had -the full command of this yard.

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 (1 of them a 10-inch Columbiad), -a brig loaded with cotton, a sloop with provisions and stores, 2 -light-boats, 150 bags of coffee, &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, -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, by Act of Congress, retired officers are -prohibited 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. - -For a more full account of the noble and daring deeds and brilliant -exploits of Admiral Stringham, see _The American Crisis of 1861-'62_, -by Frank Moore. - - -I.

Anna. - - "He early engaged in the business of transporting Orange County - products to New York, and soon found himself in command of a - first-class sloop, of extra heavy tonnage, and his carrying - trade of merchandise, 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_,[7] 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 1832 he established at Goshen a Baptist periodical, - called the _Signs of the Times_, 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 - devotedly 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.

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 1851 he was appointed U. S. Mail Agent for Oregon. -He finally settled at Hood River, where, on the 10th 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.

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."

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, Massachusetts, -to ABBY H.

I. P. S. - - Rochelle, Ill., May, 1869. - - * * * * * - - HORTON.--In Terrytown, Jan. 7, 1872, 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 - sustained 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 by a living faith, fearlessly entered - the dark valley, fearing no evil. - - [Illustration: Truly Yours - - Nancy T. Horton] - - 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 exquisite beauty: - - - NEARER HOME. - - BY ALICE CARY. - - 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, - Where 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 Presbyterian._] - - In Terrytown, Pa., on the 7th inst., Miss Nancy 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. - - -VIII.

D., son of Dr. Harvey Horton and Mary Bennet -(_Barnabas_, _Silas_, _Barnabas_, _Barnabas_, _Caleb I._), born at -Greenville, Orange Co., N. Y., 12 March, 1832; married in Middletown, -N. Y., in March, 1859, to FANNY CAROLINE BEEBE, daughter of Elder -Gilbert Beebe, the distinguished and able editor of the "_Signs -of the Times_," and sister of the Hon. George M. Beebe, member of -Congress from Orange Co., N. Y., and born in Middletown, N. Y., exact -date not given. Dr. Horton graduated in Albany Medical College, -Class of 1856. He established an office and commenced the practice -of medicine at Middletown, N. 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 -Cemetery 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. - - -III. HON. ALBERT HOWELL, son of Dr. Harvey A. Horton and Mary Bennet, -born near Brookfield, in the town of Minnisink, Orange Co., N. Y., 13 -March, 1837; married in Middletown, N. Y., by the Rev. Mr. Harris, -26 May, 1864, to ANNA AMELIA ROBERTSON, daughter of William Wells -Robertson and Adaline Sayer, and born in Centerville, Minnisink -Township, 2 July, 1840. - -Children: - - 1. Carrie Robertson, born in Middletown, N. Y., 22 April, 1865. - - 2. Mary Bennet, born in Atchison, Kansas, 12 July, 1868. - - 3. Rosa Sayer, born in Atchison, Kansas, 2 June, 1871. - - 4. Albert Howell, born in Atchison, Kansas, 1 April, 1874. - -Albert H. Horton attended the public school at West Town, N. Y., -until 13 years of age, and then attended the "_Farmer's Hall -Academy_," at Goshen, Orange Co., New York, and was there prepared -for college. He entered the "University of Michigan," as a freshman, -and remained 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 18th, -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, but both parties soon became tired of Missouri, and -removed 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 1860, he was appointed City Attorney of Atchison, by -the Mayor, the Hon. Geo. H. Fairchild. In the Spring of 1861, 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 Electors 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 1861 to 1864, in addition -to attending to the duties of Judge of the District Court, he edited, -with Hon. John J. Ingalls, the weekly "_Champion_,"--a newspaper -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 18th, 1873, and then resigned the position. Upon the -resignation of Judge Delabay, U. S. Judge of Kansas, in 1874, Mr. -Horton's name was mentioned very prominently in connection with the -vacant Judgeship, and at a State Bar meeting, called to recommend -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 Kansas delegation in Congress, however, 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 -Massachusetts, in the defence of Senator S. C. Pomeroy, before the U. -S. Senate 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, -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 -committee 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, and the $7,000 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. - - -IV. ANNA ELIZA, daughter of Parmenas H. Horton and Milicent Howell -(_Barnabas_, _Silas_, _Barnabas_, _Barnabas_, _Caleb I._), born in -Middletown, N. Y., 15 Jan., 1830; married in Middletown, 23 March, -1859, by the Rev. Daniel F. Wood, to John Wheeler Gardner, son of -John Gardner and Elizabeth Wheeler, and born in Warwick, N. Y., 7 -Feb., 1827. - -Children, born in Middletown: - - 1. Charles Horton Gardner, born 11 Feb., 1860. - - 2. John Wheeler Gardner, Jr., born 27 Jan., 1866. - -They reside in Middletown, N. Y., and rank among the first families -of that village. Mrs. Gardner says: "Milicent Howell was the name of -both my paternal and maternal grandmothers, and yet they 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 July, 1876. - - -VII. ALSON WARREN, son of Benjamin Horton and Almira Osborn -(_Barnabas_, _Barnabas_, _Barnabas_, _Barnabas_, _Caleb I._), born -in Onondaga, N. Y., 28 May, 1829; married in DeWitt, N.

A happy union of the North and South. The bridal -party left immediately for New York City, stopping for a few days -at the St. Nicholas, where they received the _elite_ of the city, -and then went to Baltimore, where at Barnum's, Mrs. Jordan, with the -ease and grace of manner so natural to her, received their friends, -and made the entertainment very interesting. From Baltimore they -proceeded to Mr. Jordan's home in the Old North State. - -Mr. Jordan is a son of Matthias Jordan and Sally Smith, both of -illustrious English descent, and on the mother's side tracing back to -the Colonial Governor of Virginia. They were planters, on the James -River, but moved to North Carolina in early life, engaged largely in -the East India trade--lost a large fortune by the ravages of the war -of 1812. - -Hon. J. P.

RUTH ANN, daughter of Nelson Horton and Sarah Shons (_Silas -Danes_, _Silas_, _Silas_, _Barnabas_, _Barnabas_, _Caleb I._), born -in Wallkill, N. Y., 14 June, 1838. She is an intelligent maiden -lady--a live member of the Old School Baptist Church. She has -rendered valuable assistance in gathering up genealogical data of her -branch of the Horton 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 dogmatical. I do admit that most of - them are rather tenacious of their own opinions. Especially - were my grandfather and his brother Barnabas positive and firm - men. But I do not think this trait of character 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 - imprisoned for debt or misdemeanor. Their social standing has - always been good. As to mental capacity, I believe they have - generally been people 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 characteristic - 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." - - -I.

Ward. - -At the age of 18 the Doctor entered the junior class at Union -College, and he was soon distinguished for his close application to -his studies and strict regard for integrity. After his collegiate -course, he studied medicine, and attended medical lectures in the -medical department of the University of New York, during the palmy -days of 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 difficult -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 -physicians 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 sufficient 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 -archæological lore, and he was the first to attempt a genealogical -history of the descendants of our old progenitor, Barnabas, of 1640. -The old Horton 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 led, with a -child-like faith, to believe the doctrine of salvation by grace, and -to publicly 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. - - -IV. BARNABAS BAILEY, son of Dea. Jonathan Horton and Bethia Hallock -(_Capt. Barnabas_, _Dea.

ALONZO ERASTUS, son of Erastus Horton and Tryphena Burleigh, -born at Union, Ct., 24 Oct., 1813; married in Jefferson, Wis., 22 -Dec., 1841, by Charles Rockwell, Esq., to SALLY MILLINGTON WRIGHT, -eldest daughter of William Cobb Wright and Sylvia Shelden, and born -in Russia, Herkimer Co., N. Y., 11 May, 1822. She died in Jefferson, -Wis., 29 Dec., 1846, leaving no issue. He married 2. 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 -following interesting sketch of the life of Mr. A. E. Horton: - - -ALONZO E. HORTON. - - To a person acquainted with this gentleman our introduction - would sound unfamiliar. "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 was first assistant wood-chopper 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 Canada. 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 - majority given to any man on the Whig ticket. The young officer - was too kind-hearted 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 contract - 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. - - [Illustration: A. E. Horton] - - He landed in Milwaukee, in May, 1836, and soon after was one - of a party 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 Janesville. Theirs was - the only house, and that about 10x16 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 approaching 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 lodgings. 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 fellow who worked on the road was the - only one retired, besides themselves, and his hearty snoring - satisfied them that he was beyond hearing. Their authority was - official, so no danger of mistakes. The bills of the Michigan - State Bank and Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank would be taken - at par 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_ shoveling 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 the 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 immediate 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 waylaid 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 in 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 afterwards, in the Iowa - penitentiary, committed for horse-stealing. - - Returning to the East Mr. Horton passed the time until 1840, - in various places and employments, the last being at St. - Mary's with the American Fur Co. His first western _home_ 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 - happily. Three years engaged in miscellaneous 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 - customers 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 _Hortonville_, in Outagamie - Co., 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 - Hortonville, 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 6½ 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 - interests for $6,500, of which sum he had used the 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 the 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 overalls 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 all _you_ have to sell." - - "Will you treat this 'ere crowd ef you can't?" - - "Yes, I will, and _yeou_, 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 $1000 per month. Another success 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 Dorado County, put up 312 tons of the cool - mountain product. A few months afterwards the speculation - returned him eight thousand dollars. - - In March, 1856, among 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 ascend was made, - a few effective shots drove the assailants into the street. - Immediately 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 the quick thought - and bold action of our leader, would have been overtaken by - the pursuing mob. He took command, gave his orders to fasten - to a lighter near at hand, transferred 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 could 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 Panama, in response to - a call from the authorities to that effect. From that time - until his marriage in 1861, he made several journeys between - Washington and Wisconsin, 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 States upon the - Government of New Grenada. His own claim was most strenuously - and successfully opposed by the Spanish commissioner. He - had done too much injury to his people to have _his_ 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 his 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 Sumpter, he included a trip to British Columbia - in his travels. At Lewiston, on the Columbia River, he began - to think of the outfit needed for the journey. His effects - inventoried 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_ - before 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, saddles, blankets, and about $60 in money. Trading - was his special success--speculation invariably a failure. For - a distance of 1400 miles through the northern wilderness, that - Lewiston revolver brought down most of the game upon which the - company 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 stock, and loaded five of their horses with - saleable goods. They found a market at Williams' Creek for - flour at $1.00 per pound, and for bacon at $1.25. - - Arriving at the Cariboo 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 off - three miners were taking out 75 ounces per day, and others - doing equally well. But the "Darkey" had "run out," 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 Visto 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 inquisitiveness 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 - visionary 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 work 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 desired property was legally advertised and sold, and on - the 11th day of May following, a deed of some 750 acres was - made. Thirty-six cents an acre, and but one bidder! Mr. Horton - was the happy purchaser, and little did he care that his - investment 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 of the future of his city. His labors were - untiring 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 $3,000 in 1867, his - receipts increased to nearly $85,000 in 1869. His money built - up the place as fast as received, and it is safe to state, that - $300,000 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 Horton live, and great the prosperity he - may witness in the pet child he has so bravely matured--HIS OWN - SAN DIEGO! - - Mr. Horton is a man of liberal views, and has always been - an ardent and practical 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 Democratic. 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 helpless - age, and that love for his MOTHER, which to her was the dearest - and last earthly tie broken in her departure to the better Home. - - -VII.

HORTON. - - - The years are passing, but their changes - Do not allay our pain; - For oft in the hush of the twilight hour - We hear her loving voice again. - - We hear her step on the floor beside us, - We turn to greet 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! why did you rob us - Of the treasure we held so dear? - Why did you enter again our household - Claiming another victim here? - - 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 full assurance in her faith, - We know she lived and died. - - The tears in our eyes are gathering, - But we brush them sadly away; - 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 the promise left us, - That she has only gone before, - For soon we shall win _our_ crown of joy, - Across the vale on the other shore. - - E.

Y., _16 August, 1871_. - - GEO. F. HORTON, M. D.: - - _My Dear Friend_: Your very kind and interesting letter of the - 18th 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 Horton, 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 - business. 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.; - married 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 Springfield; 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 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 manufacturer 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. Lawrence Co., N. Y., - 14 Oct., 1859, without issue. He was also a member of the - Congregational Church, and followed farming, milling, and - lumbering. 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. II. Adeline Mead Horton, born 21 - Jan., 1834; married in Oct., 1864, Myron G. Horton, grandson - of Dr. John Horton, who was the son of Gideon Horton, Sen., - being her 3d cousin. They reside at Malone, N. Y., and have two - children. III. 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 family 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 HORTON. - -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. - - * * * * * - - 17½ 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 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 sketch 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 Horton--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 certain Thomas - Hortons, one of Springfield, and the other of Charlestown, - Mass., the elder of whom landed in Dorchester, from the - schooner _Mary and John_, in 1633. Barnabas, of Southold, I - remember 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. - -I 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; 1. 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 elective -franchise as to give increased representation to minorities. Several -of his articles have appeared in the _Penn Magazine_, of Philadelphia. - - * * * * * - - BARRINGTON, R. I., _March 27th, 1871_. - - 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, 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 _Constitution_. - - Our family being large, my parents allowed me to go into the - country (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 Watchman 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, "I shall not be gone long. It can't - take 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 members of the Union Convention had looked forward to - it with apprehension. They knew that the spirit of the late - rebellion still survived in New Orleans, and they could not - hope that they should be permitted to assemble without some - molestation from disorderly individuals, 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 - contained 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 interfere 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 Colleseum Baptist Church, Rev. Jotham W. - Horton, had been requested to open the Convention with 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 suffer, 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 hopefully 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 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 up in the wildest confusion, - some of its members falling dead, and many mortally wounded in - the hall, while a few who could, fled. The Union men saw that - they were doomed. 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 following 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 white 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 plank, 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 names of well-known loyalists, declaring their - intention to slaughter every Union man in New Orleans. In the - midst 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 windows, - 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 anxiously 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 servant, she - told her to bar the doors and windows, and with a few hurried - 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 dared 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 sleep 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 clergyman, 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, 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 husband 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 succeeded, 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 - husband'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 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 - attendants, 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 sufferer 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 set them down. - - It afflicted 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 5th 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 - himself 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, 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 touching 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 - syllables 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 27th, 1874_. - - 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 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 - grandfather, 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 understand 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 of _Rinaldo Burleigh_, of - Plainfield, Conn., is endeavoring to obtain a complete record - of all the descendants 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 collecting 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 - 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 respect to enterprise and education, are higher than the - average emigration 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 century, and I think the town is as respectable now as it - was in my childhood. 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 somewhat - 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. - - - - -SUBSCRIBERS. - - Subscribers.
