Horton Genealogy: or Chronicles of the Descendants of Barnabas Horton, of Southold, L. I., 1640.
Horton, Geo. F. (George Firman)
Horton family
ORIGINAL NAME OF SOUTHOLD.
"The Indians called Southold,[1] 'Yennycock.' Mr. John Youngs,
who had been a minister at Hingham, England, came over with a
considerable part of his church, and here fixed his residence. He
gathered his church anew on the 21 Oct., 1640, and the planters
united themselves with New Haven. However, they soon departed from
the rule of appointing none to office, or of admitting none to be
freemen, but members of the church. New Haven insisted on this as a
fundamental article of the constitution. They were, therefore, for
a number of years, obliged to conform to the law of jurisdiction.
Some of the principal men were: Rev. Mr. Youngs, Mr. William Wells,
Mr. Barnabas Horton, Thomas Mapes, John Tuthill, and Matthias
Corwin."--_Trumbull's History of Connecticut._
