I. ELIJAH, son of Richard Horton and Jemima Wright (_John, David,
Joseph I._), born in Peekskill, N. Y., 7 August, 1739; married about
1762, JEMIMA CURRIE, born 6 July, 1744, probably in Peekskill. They
moved from Peekskill to Stroudsburg, Pa., about 1780, and purchased
a farm of Jacob Stroud, for which he was to pay in continental money,
of which he had enough to pay down for the farm, but Stroud kept
putting off making the deed until his money had so much depreciated
that he could not pay for it, and Stroud kept the land. He then
settled, for a time, in Middlesmithfield, Pa., but about 1789, he
came to Sheshequin, Bradford Co., Pa., and took up land where Edward
Brigham now resides, and here he spent the balance of his days. He
and his wife were members of the Baptist Church. He died 14 August,
1821. She died 11 March, 1825. They were both buried in Horn Brook
Cemetery.

There were probably some daughters in this family, but we have no

County.
