1. Jonathan Terry, married Mehitabel Horton, daughter of Benjamin Horton and Charlotte Wells. 2. Keturah. 3. Gilbert, born 6 Nov., 1799; married Lydia Bailey. 4. Martha. 5. Susan Bailey.
Maj. Gilbert was a farmer and a blacksmith; also a Major in the militia, and a prominent man of fair reputation. He and his wife were members of the Presbyterian Church, and he was a Deacon of the church. He died 6 May, 1822, and his wife died 2 Feb., 1844.
X. Jonathan, son of Capt. [Barnabas Horton and Susanna Bailey], born in Southold, Sept., 1765. "Dea. Jonathan, as he was familiarly called, was the fifth son of Capt. Barnabas Horton of Hogneck, now Bay View, L. I. He married Miss Hallock, with whom he lived about thirty years in Mattituck Center. In early life he pursued the trade of a blacksmith. In later years that of a farmer. He embraced religion in early life, and united with the Presbyterian Church of Southold, and was chosen a Deacon and an Elder. He filled these offices for more than thirty years. For the greater part of his life he stood in official stations, and by them he was much burthened. But in all his civil, military, ecclesiastical and judicial relations, he was well sustained and gave general satisfaction. The many and complex cares wore upon his naturally good constitution, and at length led on to a lingering consumption which called him to his grave, 19 Jan., 1819, in the 54th year of his age.
His children were two sons and two daughters, viz.:
1. Silas, who died under one year of age. 2. Lydia, born in 1788; married John Clark. 3. Rejoice, born in 1792; married James E. Horton, son of Capt. James Horton and Elizabeth Milliken. 4. [Barnabas Bailey], born 2 June, 1797; married Hannah Reeves."—Letter of B. Bailey Horton.
I. William, son of Dea. [William Horton and Mehetabel Wells] (William, Jonathan I.), born at Southold, about 1732. "We have always heard him spoken of as 'Uncle' William. He was a large landholder—owned and occupied the old house in which I was born. It was taken down in 1854, and the house in which my father, Joseph Hazzard Horton, now lives, was erected upon its site. It was built by his grandfather, son of Jonathan I. He was thrice married, 1. to Patience Corwin; 2. Martha Gardiner, a very pious lady. She was confined to her bed a long time by sickness, previous to her death, and by her request, the Rev. Elam Potter prepared her funeral sermon, and read it to her previous to her death, which occurred in 1792; married 3. Mary Goldsmith.
"He occupied the east side of the old house, my grandfather, David Horton, the west side. My grandfather took the farm, and cared for 'Uncle' William's mother, who lived to be very aged. He always lived in good style, and kept several slaves. His third wife had the first woolen carpet ever known in that vicinity. A good stock of liquors was always found upon his board, and he allowed no wood except hickory to be used for fuel.
"He was a gentleman who always rode in his chaise, and spent much of his time in fishing and other amusements, and the 'William Horton Rock,' one of his most frequent fishing points, is famous to this day. He died without issue. His third wife survived him, and after his death she sold 'Tom' for $100, and 'Hagar' for $70. She married Josiah Vail—lived happily for many years in the cottage a little west of the old Barnabas Horton Homestead."—Letter of D. P. Horton, 1872.
I. Dea. John Budd, son of Jonathan Horton and Mary Budd (Dea. James, Jonathan I.), born in Goshen, 19 August, 1762; married in 1796, to Hannah Webb, born in 1776. She died 22 Jan., 1835. He died 22 Jan., 1841. They were pious people, much esteemed by those who knew them. He was for many years a respected Deacon of the Presbyterian Church of Goshen.
