Joseph L. Horton and his wife were very pious people, both worthy members of the Baptist Church, beloved and respected in the community. He was a farmer and shoemaker. He had feeble health for several years before his death, wasting away gradually by consumption. He was a very patient and industrious man, and towards the close of his life, suffering from the ravages of disease, and much enfeebled, he would still work at his occupation, making sometimes one shoe in a day, and at others only half a one, according as he had strength and breath. His end was peace. Children: 1. Samuel Todd, born at Owego, N. Y., 27 July, 1792. 2. Catharine, born at Owego, N. Y., 21 May, 1794; married Geo. Spinner; he died without issue. 3.
