Horton Genealogy: or Chronicles of the Descendants of Barnabas Horton, of Southold, L. I., 1640.
Horton, Geo. F. (George Firman)
Horton family
Under date of 8 February, 1874, Webb Horton writes, "My mother is
living and in good health. She resides at Liberty, Sullivan Co.,
N. Y. She is in the eighty-seventh year of her age. Her father
died aged eighty-eight, and her grandmother, Prudence Schofield,
aged ninety-four. She has now living ten children, thirty-seven
grandchildren, and nineteen great-grandchildren."
This is a very remarkable family--so large and yet so few deaths.
It is a rare occurrence to find a family of children, ten in number,
the youngest forty-six years old, _all living_. And then so many
grandchildren and great-grandchildren living. I have no record of any
family equal to it, and doubtless, the number is now (1875), somewhat
augmented.
