White</a> - where Yy is short form of James' father's name - and _(N-2) is in Roman numerals eg _VI - - link forward from children of entry-name (eg Martha): - <a href="#Zz-MARTHA_(N)">Martha Maria</a> - where Zz is short form of Martha's father's name - and _(N) is in Roman numerals eg _VIII - - There are four generational trees in this book, for the four - sons of (the Root) Barnabas Horton. Occasionally an anchor - name in one tree was the same as one in another tree; in these - cases a suffix 'a' or 'aa' was used to differentiate them. - - The short form of a father's name (Xx above) is two characters - in the 'Joseph I' and 'Caleb I' trees. It is three chars long - in the 'Joshua I' and 'Jonathan I' trees, to minimize anchor - name duplication requiring an a or aa suffix. - --> - - -<div class="transnote"> -<p><strong>TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE</strong></p> - -<p>All changes noted in the ERRATA (at the front of the book) have been -applied to the etext.</p> - -<p>As the ERRATA states: "Errors in spelling, and occasionally -discrepancies in dates may be found, but their correction will -readily suggest itself to the reader." Errors in dates, even -seemingly obvious ones, have not been corrected. -However in the web version of this etext, a date that is likely -incorrect is underlined with a dotted line and a mouse-hover will -show the (probable) corrected date.</p> - -<p>The list of children given in almost every entry in the geneology is -presented in several different formats throughout the original text. -These different inconsistent formats are retained in the etext.</p> - -<p>When a listed child has a more detailed entry in the section relating to -the next generation, that child will have a link forward to that detailed -entry. Only a small percentage of listed children have a more detailed entry, -perhaps 10-15%.</p> - -<p>When a detailed entry names the parents, the parents will have a link -back to the father's (sometimes the mother's) detailed entry in the prior -generation section when such an entry exists, which it does about 95% of the time).</p> - -<p>The two Indexes are incomplete and contain many errors. With a few -exceptions these errors have not been adjusted; one valid page number -has been added to an entry when none was present in the original Index.</p> - -<p>Obvious typographical errors and punctuation errors have been -corrected after careful comparison with other occurrences within -the text and consultation of external sources.</p> - -<p class="customcover">The cover image was created by the transcriber -and is placed in the public domain.</p> - -<p>More detail of changes made can be found at <a href="#TN">the end of the book.</a></p> -</div> - - -<hr class="chap pg-brk" /> - -<p class="pfs80 lsp">"GATHER THE CHILDREN."</p> -<hr class="r20" /> - -<h1>HORTON GENEALOGY;</h1> - -<p class="p6 pfs60">OR</p> - -<p class="p2 pfs135 lsp2">CHRONICLES</p> - -<p class="p4 pfs60">OF THE</p> - -<p class="p2 smcap pfs150">Descendants of Barnabas Horton,</p> - -<p class="p2 pfs80">OF SOUTHOLD, L.

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 "<i>Swallow</i>" 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.</p> - -<p>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. <cite>See Griffin's Journal.</cite></p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_vi" id="Page_vi">[vi]</a></span></p> - -<p>It is said that Barnabas Horton I. was large in stature, and of a -ruddy complexion, and of fine social qualities.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>The inscription surrounds the border of the stone, and reads as -follows:</p> - -<div class="blockquoty"> - -<p>"Here lieth buried the body of <span class="smcap">Mr. Barnabas Horton</span>, who was born at -Mousely, Leicestershire, Old England, and died at Southold, on the 13th day of -July, 1680, aged 80 years."</p></div> - -<p>In the centre of the stone we find the Epitaph, as follows:</p> - -<div class="poetry-container"><div class="poetry"> -<p class="verseq">"Here lies my body tombed in dust</p> -<p class="verse">'Till Christ shall come to raise it with the just;</p> -<p class="verse">My soul ascended to the throne of God,</p> -<p class="verse">Where with sweet Jesus now I make abode:</p> -<p class="verse">Then hasten after me, my dearest wife,</p> -<p class="verse">To be partaker of this blessed life;</p> -<p class="verse">And you, dear children, all follow the Lord,</p> -<p class="verse">Hear and obey His public sacred word;</p> -<p class="verse">And in your houses call upon His name,</p> -<p class="verse">For oft I have advised you to the same:</p> -<p class="verse">Then God will bless you with your children all,</p> -<p class="verse">And to this blessed place He will you call."</p> -</div></div> - -<div class="blockquoty"> - -<p>Heb. xi: 4.—"He being dead, yet speaketh."</p></div> - -<p>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.

Mr. Moore is one of the best genealogists of the country, and in relation -to Long Island, he is the best authority extant.</p></div> - - -<hr class="r10" /> -<h3>MORE ABOUT THE OLD HOUSE.</h3> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>With a few repairs, the old castle may yet stand for generations far -in the future.</p> - -<p>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 <em>his</em> son Jona<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_viii" id="Page_viii">[viii]</a></span>than -over a half a century; and lastly Jonathan G. Horton, about a -half a century; making in all two hundred and thirteen years at the -death of Jonathan G. Horton, 3 July, 1873. These six generations -all living and dying in the old mansion! Could those old walls re-echo -all the words ever spoken there, and exhibit anew all the scenes -ever witnessed there—the book containing such a record would vastly -exceed in volume the size of the old castle. It would bring to light -much that is now in darkness, and must forever remain hidden from -the generations of the living.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>Mr. Stuart T. Terry, of Southold, L.

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.</p> - -<p>His <span class="fs70">WALKING STAFF</span> is still preserved. It is made of the Yew tree -wood, has a fine ivory head with the letters "J.

It is now owned by Silas R. Horton, of -Goshen, N. Y.</p> - -<p>Many other mementos of the old Puritan are in existence, some of -them in the Long Island Historical Rooms, Brooklyn, N. Y.</p> - - -<hr class="r10" /> -<h3><span class="smcap">The HORTON NAME—First Settlers in this Country.</span></h3> - -<p>The word Horton in the Anglo-Saxon language means an enclosure, -or garden of vegetables. It is said to be derived from <em>ort</em> and <em>tun</em>, -<em>ort</em>, meaning plant, and <em>tun</em>, enclosed. The name is evidently of -Latin origin, and has been known in England ever since the conquest -of Cæsar.</p> - -<p>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, <em>producers</em> rather than <em>consumers</em>, 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.</p> - -<p>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 -"<i>Mary and John</i>," in 1633, settled permanently in Springfield, Mass.<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_xi" id="Page_xi">[xi]</a></span> -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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>The Head Quarters of Cæsar's army was near the present <em>Leicester</em>, -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.</p> - - -<hr class="r10" /> -<h3>ANTIQUITY OF THE HORTON FAMILY.</h3> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.:</p> - -<div class="blockquot"> - -<p>1. William, of Barkisland, or Bark Island Hall, who purchased in the 15th of -Charles I., the estate of Howroyde, was born about 1576.</p> - -<p>2.

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.</p> - -<p>It is known that Capt. Jeremy Horton, 18 Aug., 1626, was the -master and owner of the ship "<i>Swallow</i>," 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.</p> - -<p>Capt. Roger Horton, about this time, had a prisoner delivered to<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_xii" id="Page_xii">[xii]</a></span> -him, from the White Line Prison, to be transported into parts beyond -the seas, to serve in the wars of his majesty's plantations.</p> - -<p>Tradition says that Barnabas Horton and family came over in the -"<i>Swallow</i>," in 1638, or perhaps earlier, but I have not found his -name on any of the lists of emigrants.</p> - - -<hr class="r10" /> -<h3>ORIGINAL NAME OF SOUTHOLD.</h3> - -<p>"The Indians called Southold,<a name="FNanchor_1_1" id="FNanchor_1_1"></a><a href="#Footnote_1_1" class="fnanchor">[1]</a> '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.

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.

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.</p> - -<p>"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.</p> - -<p>"In the winter of 1858, I was a member of the Legislature from -this Assembly District.

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 -<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_35" id="Page_35">[35]</a></span>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.</p> - -<p>"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.</p> - -<p>"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.</p> - -<p>"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.</p> - -<p>"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."</p></div> - - -<p class="p1" /> -<p><a name="Jm-GEORGE_VI" id="Jm-GEORGE_VI"></a> -II. <span class="smcap">George</span>, son of <a href="#Wl-JAMES_V">James Horton and Martha White</a>, born at Colchester, -N.

Horton was a farmer, and occasionally a hunter, "frequently -taking his rifle," as he says, and going into the woods not far -from his house, he would knock down a deer or two and return home -by breakfast time. One morning in June, some forty years ago, he -took his gun and went out into the woods, about half a mile -from his house, when a fine buck appeared before him and down -he went. While reloading his gun he heard a wolf howl, and going a -little further he brought him down also. On returning to the place -where he shot the buck, behold, a huge panther had taken possession -of the buck, and was regaling himself by licking up the blood and 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. But at length -the panther saw him and showed signs of fight, and he then put a -ball through his brain. On going home for his team, he found he had -been gone only a little over an hour.</p> - -<p>Mr. Horton took up land in a dense wilderness, several miles from -any inhabitant, cleared it up, and then bought several other farms and -assisted in clearing them up. He was a man of strong constitution, -and lived to a good old age, dying at his old homestead, about two -miles from Ghent meeting house, in Sheshequin, Pa.</p> - - -<p class="p1" /> -<p><a name="El-LYDIA_VII" id="El-LYDIA_VII"></a> -II. <span class="smcap">Lydia</span>, daughter of <a href="#El-ELIJAH_VI">Elijah M.

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, <span class="smcap">No</span>, instead of <span class="smcap">Yes</span>, 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 <em>ruled</em> 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.

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.

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.

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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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."</p> - -<p>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<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_196" id="Page_196">[196]</a></span> -so long remained ignorant of the beauty, simplicity and sublimity of -the Gospel scheme of salvation.

They have no children.</p> - -<p>We are indebted to Mr. J. A. Shepherd, of San Diego, for the following -interesting sketch of the life of Mr. A. E. Horton:</p> - - -<p class="p2 pfs100">ALONZO E. HORTON.</p> - -<div class="blockquot"> - -<p>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 <em>business</em>, and never think apology necessary; and we can think -of no better rule to follow in writing what we know of him.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_209" id="Page_209">[209]</a></span> -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.</p></div> - -<div class="figcenter"> -<img src="images/i_250.jpg" width="575" alt="" /> -<div class="caption">A. E. Horton</div> -</div> - -<div class="blockquot"> - -<p>He landed in Milwaukee, in May, 1836, and soon after was one of a party of six -on the <em>trail</em> 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.</p> - -<p>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 <em>not</em> 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?</p> - -<p>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 <em>for him</em> to remain where he was, and he did so. -But another young man, about his age, and similarly dressed, was waylaid on the<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_210" id="Page_210">[210]</a></span> -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.</p> - -<p>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 <em>more</em>, 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.</p> - -<p>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 <em>home</em> 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 <em>Hortonville</em>, -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 <em>living</em> in Hortonville, and at the end of two years sold out the -remaining property, being $7,188 better for his enterprise.</p> - -<p>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 <em>last</em> 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<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_211" id="Page_211">[211]</a></span> -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 <em>dust</em>, 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 <em>charges</em>. -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 <em>dressed</em>. He passed over a small package -of <em>dust</em> in settlement, which was accepted and pronounced all right. Word was -sent to the stable, his horse could <em>now</em> be brought out—his bill was paid.</p> - -<p>"Mister, want to <em>buy</em> some more o' that stuff?"</p> - -<p>"Yes;" replying with a surprised look.</p> - -<p>"How much?"</p> - -<p>"Suppose I can buy all <em>you</em> have to sell."</p> - -<p>"Will you treat this 'ere crowd ef you can't?"</p> - -<p>"Yes, I will, and <em>yeou</em>, too."</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_212" id="Page_212">[212]</a></span></p> - -<p>In March, 1856, among the passengers on board the steamship <i>Cortez</i>, 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 <em>Capt.</em> 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.</p> - -<p>"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 -<i>Cortez</i>. Fortunately, he was obeyed without question, and a more successful trip -was never made by the <i>Wild Goose</i> 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.</p> - -<p>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 <em>his</em> losses repaid. <em>All</em> 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.</p> - -<p>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 <em>trading</em> 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 wilder<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_213" id="Page_213">[213]</a></span>ness, -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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_214" id="Page_214">[214]</a></span> -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.</p> - -<p>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 <em>life</em> 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—<span class="smcap">his own -San Diego</span>!</p> - -<p>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 <span class="smcap">Mother</span>, which to her was the -dearest and last earthly tie broken in her departure to the better Home.</p></div> - - -<p class="p1" /> -<p><a name="Era-LUCY_VI" id="Era-LUCY_VI"></a> -VII. <span class="smcap">Lucy Jane</span>, daughter of <a href="#Ezr-ERASTUS_V">Erastus Horton and Tryphena Burleigh</a>, -born at Scriba, N.

D.</span>:</p> - -<div class="blockquot"> - -<p><em>My Dear Friend</em>: 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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_A-II" id="Page_A-II">[II]</a></span> -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.</p></div> - -<p class="right padr6 fs80">I am yours, truly,</p> -<p class="right fs80">HIRAM HORTON.</p> - -<div class="blockquot"> - -<p>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.

F. Horton</span>:</p> - -<div class="blockquot"> - -<p><em>Dear Sir</em>: While at Pomeroy a few weeks since on a visit, my -father showed me your letter, requesting information in regard to our<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_A-III" id="Page_A-III">[III]</a></span> -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 <em>Mary and John</em>, 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,</p></div> - -<p class="right fs80">S. DANA HORTON.</p> - -<div class="blockquot"> - -<p>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 <cite>Penn Magazine</cite>, of -Philadelphia.</p></div> - -<hr class="r15" /> - -<p class="right fs80"><span class="smcap">Barrington, R.

Ours is a Boston family,<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_A-IV" id="Page_A-IV">[IV]</a></span> -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 -<i>Constitution</i>.</p> - -<p>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."

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.</p> - -<p>In connexion with this, we give the following thrilling article, -which was published in the <cite>Boston Watchman and Reflector</cite>, soon -after the barbarous murder of the Rev.

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.</p> - -<p>That day was destined to be one among the most memorable in the -annals of human wickedness since the famous St. Bartholomew's. The<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_A-V" id="Page_A-V">[V]</a></span> -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, <em>organized</em> 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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_A-VI" id="Page_A-VI">[VI]</a></span> -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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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, <em>the police headed -the attack</em>, and there is reason to believe that one of their number fired -the first shot.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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."</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_A-VII" id="Page_A-VII">[VII]</a></span> -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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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,<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_A-VIII" id="Page_A-VIII">[VIII]</a></span> -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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>"Wipe my face, Emma," he gasped, as if she had been bending -over him ever since he fell.</p> - -<p>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<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_A-IX" id="Page_A-IX">[IX]</a></span> -live. Nineteen long hours she had searched for him, and now to find -him thus!</p> - -<p>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,</p></div> - -<div class="poetry-container"><div class="poetry"> -<p class="verseq">"When I can read my title clear</p> -<p class="verse4">To mansions in the skies,</p> -<p class="verse">I'll bid farewell to every fear,</p> -<p class="verse4">And wipe my weeping eyes.</p> -<p class="verse"> </p> -<p class="verseq">"Should earth against my soul engage—"</p> -</div></div> - -<div class="blockquot"> -<p>Here weakness prevented him, and he whispered to his wife,</p> - -<p>"You finish it."</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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,</p> - -<p>"Emma, we must send word to Bro. Miles that I can't come. I -don't feel quite well enough to preach."</p> - -<p>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,<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_A-X" id="Page_A-X">[X]</a></span> -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.

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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_A-XI" id="Page_A-XI">[XI]</a></span> -families of <em>Horton</em> and <em>Burleigh</em>. 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 <span class="smcap">Barnabas</span>, who came from -England.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>Rev. Lucien Burleigh, the son of <em>Rinaldo Burleigh</em>, of Plainfield, -Conn., is endeavoring to obtain a complete record of all the descendants -of <em>John Burleigh</em>, 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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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, <em>John</em>, and his wife, <em>Meriam -Fuller</em>, whose ancestry I have traced far back among the early settlers -of Willington and Ashford, in Conn., and in Rehoboth, Mass.</p> - -<p>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<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_A-XII" id="Page_A-XII">[XII]</a></span> -among the best of the emigrants of the olden times. They were not -connected at all with the modern or ancient Irish race.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>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.</p> - -<p>It is an interesting circumstance, that from that little town <em>you</em> 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.</p> - -<p>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.</p></div> - -<p class="right padr6 fs80">Very Truly Yours,</p> -<p class="right fs80">C.
