9. Jacob, born 19 February 1779; married 17 June 1802; died 15 July, 1808. 10. Sarah, born 11 March, 1781; married 10 July, 1824, Joseph Lee; died 20 October, 1858. VIII. HON. WILLIAM, son of Daniel Horton and Esther Lane, born at Yorktown, 10 January, 1743. In 1768, he married LIZZIE (ELIZABETH) COVERT, an accomplished and amiable lady of French descent, who was born 9 January, 1743. He removed from the town of Sommers, formerly Stephentown, to Colchester, Delaware Co., N. Y., in 1789. He was a tanner and currier by trade, and he tanned the first leather that was ever manufactured in Delaware Co. He purchased large tracts of lands, built saw-mills and grist-mills, and carried on a large business in the manufacture and sale of lumber and provisions, as well as of leather. He was a healthy, muscular man. His father died when he was sixteen, and he then for a while lived with his brother Stephen. He was a man of sound judgment, and capable of enduring much hardship. Colchester was an unbroken wilderness when he settled there, but by his influence and great business capacity, it was soon settled by an enterprising and industrious people, and the wilderness was soon turned into well cultivated and productive fields. He was a very prominent citizen among them. He was a Justice of the Peace for many years, and in 1794, he was sent to the Legislature, and about this time he was President Judge of Ulster Co., Ulster and Delaware being then one county. He and his wife were both worthy and active members of the Baptist Church, and they trained up their children to fear the Lord and keep his commandments. He died suddenly in 1831, at the age of eighty-eight years, respected and lamented, not only by his numerous friends and relatives, but by the whole community. His wife survived him but two weeks.
