"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.
