Horton Genealogy: or Chronicles of the Descendants of Barnabas Horton, of Southold, L. I., 1640.
Horton, Geo. F. (George Firman)
Horton family

the old Homestead.
8. William Gibson, born 7 May, 1842; married Eliza Miller;

VII. ELIZABETH (Betsy), daughter of Maj. John Horton and Deborah
Terry, was born at Terrytown, Pa., 27 Dec., 1800; was married at
Terrytown, by Thomas Ingham, Esq., to FRANCIS E. BAILLET, son of
Francis Baillet and Lydia Terry, and born in Philadelphia, 9 June,
1797. He moved with his mother to Baltimore, where he served as an
apprentice with a tobacconist.
He came to Terrytown when a young man, moved to Farmersville,
Cataraugus Co., N. Y., soon after their marriage. Resided in
Farmersville till 1837, when they removed to Ellicottville in the
same county. He was clerk of Cataraugus Co. for twelve years in
succession, was always, and is yet, a staunch Democrat. Cataraugus
was largely a Whig county, yet his great popularity always drew Whig
votes enough to elect him. He left Cataraugus Co. a few years ago,
and went to Black River Falls, Wisconsin, where he now resides. He is
a genial, whole-souled, sportive man, and his penmanship, now at the
age of seventy-six years, is remarkably beautiful, round and fair,
and almost as easily read as print. He is now clerk in the office of
Carl C. Pope, Esq., of Black River Falls. He and his wife are both
members of the Baptist Church, and if they live until the 30 of Nov.
next (1874), they may celebrate their golden wedding.[5]
