"My Dear Friend and Cousin, Dr. Geo. F. Horton:
"Yours of the 5th came to hand on the 10th inst. I was away from home when it came, or I should have replied sooner. I thought I would write to-day, and let you hear once more from your old cousin, now nearly 83 years old....
"My father's name was Thomas Horton. My mother's maiden name was Hannah Moore. My grandfather's name was also Thomas Horton. He was a soldier in the Revolutionary War, and he and his brother-in-law, Nathan Moore, were taken prisoners when the British captured Fort Montgomery, and they were imprisoned in a vessel in New York Harbor, called 'a prison ship.' I never heard any other name for it. In that prison, by hard treatment and starvation, they were reduced so low that when set at liberty they both died before they got home. There were several other prisoners on that prison ship who lost their lives by the same cruel treatment.
"My father had ten children—4 sons and 6 daughters—all lived to be heads of families. I have often heard my father speak of a certain cup with the name of a bank on it, where a large sum of money was left by his father. When that cup was taken to the bank they could draw money. He said the cup was lost and how much money with it he did not know."
