Mrs. Williams proposes to sell it, and if some of the Hortons do not buy it, it will indicate a lack of decent respect for the old castle, if not for the Horton name. It should be bought back into the Horton name, suitably repaired and preserved for the wonder and admiration of generations of Hortons yet unborn. Jonathan G. Horton, the short, thick man, and Stuart T. Terry, are the two men seen in the engraving, in front of the old house. Mr. Stuart T. Terry, of Southold, L. I., has kindly copied and forwarded to me, many interesting facts from the New Haven Colonial Records, some of which are here inserted: "Concerning some farmers neere Southold, at a place called Hashamamock, aboute whom BARNABAS HORTON, one of ye Constables last yeare, which was 1656, also, Constable in 1659. 29 May, 1661, Barnabas Horton was a Deputy to the New Haven Court--also, 31 May, 1654, the Deputies from Southold, presented to ye court a wrighting from their towne, wherein it is desired that BARNABAS HORTON and JOHN PEAKEN, the two present Deputies of Southold, may be chosen Constables for that plantation; which was done. Barnabas Horton was a Deputy to the Court in New Haven, in 1654-'56-'58-'59 and 1661. In 1655 there was no election, but he wrote a letter to the Court on public affairs. In 1662 he was admitted a Freeman of Connecticut Colony, at Harford, and in 1663 and 1664 he was a Deputy to the General Court, at Harford. He was a Magistrate in 1664, and until his death. He is one of the Patentees of the Town of Southold in 1676." Made his will May 10, 1680. Died 13 July, 1680. Will proved. Lib. 2, N. Y., p. 54.--_Vide "Moore's Indexes of Southold."_ THE OLD BIBLE. Perhaps the most interesting relic left by our good old ancestor, Barnabas, is the OLD BIBLE, which he brought with him from England. It is now in the possession of the Hon. Silas Horton, of Southold. It was taken to the Bible House, New York, some years ago, and carefully repaired, and every torn leaf mended, so that it is now entire, and in a good condition. We find in it the following record: "Imprinted at London, by the Deputies of Christian Barker." _Printer to the Queen's Most Excellent Majestie, 1597._ CUM PRIVILEGIO. Then follows in manuscript: "Barnabas Horton, to his son Jonathan Horton, this BIBLE he did bequeath, in the year of our Lord, 1680." Then follows: "Capt. Jonathan Horton, his _Book_. _God give him grace._ Jonathan Horton, 1683." In another place, and probably in the handwriting of Jonathan Horton, Jr., we find: "_The Word of the Lord God of Jonathan Horton, 1748-'49._" Again we find: "Lydia Tuthill, her _Book_, given her by her mother, as it is said." And then follows:
