REV. FRANCIS A., son of George Philip Horton and Magdalena Miller, born in Philmont, N. Y., 15 September, 1841; married in New Brunswick, N. J., 9 Nov., 1865, by Rev. J. Y. Beatty, to EMILY VAN DYKE ADAMS, daughter of John Adams. He is a clergyman of the "Reformed (Dutch) Church in America," entered the ministry in 1865, was ordained 30 Oct., of that year, at Glenham, Dutchess Co., N. Y., and removed in 1867 to Catskill, Greene Co., N. Y., where he now (1873), resides; moved to Cleveland, O., in 1874. Children: 1. James Muldor, born 11 Dec., 1867, at Catskill, N. Y. The Rev. F. A. Horton, in his letter of April, 1871, says: "Our relatives are mainly in Southold, along the Hudson, in central and western New York, and in Michigan. I recollect father always said that one of the original brothers went into New Jersey, and that he had lost all trace of him. May be _you_ are a scion from that root. At any rate, the Hortons are a great people. I see an account now and then of some of them in the reports of criminal prosecutions, but these are offset by now and then one in good and honorable places. The last Governor of Michigan married a full-blooded Horton of our line. Trace us back to the throne if you can, see that you make no less of our great top root, when you find him than an Earl." Another Horton says: "If you find any of the name claiming to have royal blood in his veins, perform phlebotomy upon him at once, and take every drop out of him or disown him. Trace us back to the noble old Roman CINCINNATUS, if you can."--_Dr. Horton, of Orange Co., N. Y._ I. WILLIAM JAMES, son of the Hon.
