James Horton is an accomplished clerk and bookkeeper. He resided
several years at Hancock, respected and esteemed by all who knew him.
He now (1875), resides in Sheffield, Warren Co., Pa., interested in a
large tanning establishment.
I. WILLIAM NELSON, son of Thomas Hyatt Horton, M. D., and Laura
Ann Torance (_Stephen_, _Thomas_, _Thomas_, _David_, _Joseph I._),
born in Jerusalem, Yates Co., N. Y., 5 Sept., 1841. He was a Union
soldier, faithful and true, and died for his country in Georgia, 23
May, 1865, being shot by the rebels through the head and instantly
killed. He left no issue.
II. GURDON BROMLEY, son of Charles Horton and Betsey Grant (_Isaac_,
_Hon. William_, _Stephen_, _Daniel_, _David_, _Joseph I._), born

valuable records of the family.

and is one of the firm of G. B. Horton & Co., Gold Street, New York.
He traveled extensively in Europe, in 1873, possesses fair business
capacities, is unassuming in his manners, and is wholly disinclined
to "trumpet his own fame and name," as he expressed it, when he
declined to get his portrait for the "Chronicles."
