"Here lieth buried the body of MR. BARNABAS HORTON, who was born at Mousely, Leicestershire, Old England, and died at Southold, on the 13th day of July, 1680, aged 80 years." In the centre of the stone we find the Epitaph, as follows: "Here lies my body tombed in dust 'Till Christ shall come to raise it with the just; My soul ascended to the throne of God, Where with sweet Jesus now I make abode: Then hasten after me, my dearest wife, To be partaker of this blessed life; And you, dear children, all follow the Lord, Hear and obey His public sacred word; And in your houses call upon His name, For oft I have advised you to the same: Then God will bless you with your children all, And to this blessed place He will you call." Heb. xi: 4.--"He being dead, yet speaketh." It is said that this epitaph was written by himself, and that it, together with the inscription, date of his death excepted, was all put upon the stone before he died. He was the only one of the original thirteen who brought his tombstone with him, and this fact seems to indicate a commendable desire to see that his name and memory should not perish from the earth. NOTE.--We have followed _Griffin's Journal_ in relation to the thirteen old Puritans who first settled in Southold. But C. B. Moore, Esq., of New York City, who has been more thorough and faithful than any other person, in studying the history and genealogy of the early settlers of Southold--examining all the _deeds_ and _wills_, and other authentic documents to be found, and also copying the inscriptions from every headstone, not only in Southold, but over nearly the whole Island--makes it very evident that some of those named were not there at so early a date, and he also says that _Peter_ Hallock, who is named as one of the thirteen, was the grandson of the Puritan Hallock who settled at Southold, and whose Christian name was William. Mr. Moore is one of the best genealogists of the country, and in relation to Long Island, he is the best authority extant. MORE ABOUT THE OLD HOUSE.
