GEO. F. HORTON, M. D.:
_My Dear Friend_: Your very kind and interesting letter of the
18th inst., came duly to hand some days since. I have often
heard it said that the Hortons of this country sprung from two
brothers, who emigrated from England at an early day, and that
one of them settled in Massachusetts, and the other on Long
Island. My ancestor, Stephen Horton, I think, was a descendant
of Thomas Horton, who settled in Springfield, Mass., perhaps
a son of Thomas. My brother, John Horton, many years since
obtained from Dr. Horton, of Hartford, Ct., the genealogy
that I send you. There was many years since a Dr. Horton who
resided at Springfield, whom my eldest sister visited, and who
was a relative of ours. He had a son who was also a doctor in
New York City, and also engaged in the grocery and provision
business. I think he is dead. I am satisfied that Barnabas
Horton was a brother of Thomas.
Stephen Horton settled in West Springfield, Mass. He had two
sons, Benjamin and Stephen. Benjamin, born in 1720; died at
Brandon, Vermont, 13 Jan., 1803. He left two sons, Gideon and
Moses, also a daughter, who married a Mr. Underwood.
Gideon Horton was born in 1744, in West Springfield, Mass.;
married Sarah Douglass, great aunt to the Hon. Stephen A.
Douglass. He died at Brandon, Vt., 16 Dec., 1801. His sons
were Hiram, Gideon, Jr., and John. Hiram, born 5 March, 1764,
at West Springfield; married Sarah Drury, 16 June, 1785, at
Pittsford, Vt.; moved to Malone, Franklin Co., N. Y., in 1808.
He was one of the leading men of the county, holding the office
of County Treasurer, and first Judge of the Courts for several
years. He died 5 Oct., 1824.
