II. JASON, son of Lieut. Israel Horton and Sarah Lee, born at Cutchogue, Southold, L. I., 18 Dec., 1758; married in 1783, to MARY TERRY, daughter of Uriah Terry and Abigail Cleveland, and born in Southold, L. I., in 1760. He was a clothier by trade, served his apprenticeship in Chester, and then settled for a short time at Boskenridge,--it is now Basking Ridge,--New Jersey, and then moved to Somerville, New Jersey, where he settled permanently and where he died. He was one of the most pious and exemplary men that ever lived, a zealous, active, intelligent Presbyterian. He was a very strict observer of the Sabbath, and violation of it by his neighbors always gave him great displeasure. Observing one of his neighbors frequently chopping firewood on the Sabbath, he went one Saturday afternoon and took his neighbor a load of wood prepared for the fire, telling him it was to save him the trouble of chopping his firewood on the Sabbath. His neighbor took it kindly, and was careful afterwards to see that his fuel was all ready beforehand for the Sabbath. It was a common remark of one of the most reckless men of Somerville, that "If all professors of religion would live like Old Jason Horton, he would believe there was some reality in religion." Jason Horton never failed to exert a strong influence for the Christian religion as long as he lived. And his wife also was a true help-meet for him in this regard, possessing genuine piety and Christian activity. She died at Somerville, on Sabbath morning at 5 o'clock, 22 Aug., 1841. Children: 1. Uriah, born in Sugar Loaf, Orange Co., N. Y., in 1784; married Elizabeth Fairchild. 2. Sarah, born 20 Jan., 1788; married William Guest. 3. Elizabeth, married 1. John Denniston; 2. Adam Huyler. 4. Mary, born in 1793. 5. Abigail, born in Somerville, 6 March, 1795. 6. Eunice, born in 1797. 7. Fanny, born in 1799. 8. Israel, born in 1801; died young. These children were all members of the Presbyterian Church, except Elizabeth, who is a member of the M. E. Church.
