History
Horton Genealogy: or Chronicles of the Descendants of Barnabas Horton, of Southold, L. I., 1640.
Horton, Geo. F. (George Firman)
Horton family
Children:
7. Eunice Louisa, born 10 May, 1854.
8. Thomas Ingham, born 18 Sept., 1856.
9. Charles Herbert, born 5 June, 1860.
His children were all born in the old stone mansion, built by his
father, in 1802. It is one of the oldest dwellings in Blooming Grove,
and it is still a very comfortable and venerable house. It, together
with a good farm, was inherited by Benjamin, he being the only son;
and here he lived until his death, which occurred on the 9th of
Nov., 1874. He was a kind, unassuming man--always possessing a good
moral character, and a few months before his death he made a public
profession of Christianity, and became a member of the Blooming Grove
Church. His wife early embraced Christianity, and was a member of the
Presbyterian Church, of Wyalusing, Pa. She is now a member of the
Blooming Grove Church, faithful and active in the work of the Church
and Sabbath-school.
