Horton Genealogy: or Chronicles of the Descendants of Barnabas Horton, of Southold, L. I., 1640.
Horton, Geo. F. (George Firman)
Horton family
5. Emily Robinson, born 14 Nov., 1847; married at Terrytown,
1 June, 1869, by Rev. Hallock Armstrong of the Presbyterian
Church, to Calvin D. Albert. He was a mechanic, and whilst at
work in a planing-mill in Wyalusing, Pa., he was struck in the
region of the stomach by a piece of board thrown by a circular
saw, causing his death on the 17 May, 1870, leaving Anna Horton
Albert, a posthumous child, born in Terrytown, 16 Oct., 1870.
XI. HARRY MORGAN, son of Maj. John Horton and Deborah Terry, born
24 Sept., 1811. He studied medicine with Dr. George F. Horton, and
was also an office student of Prof. Samuel McClellan of Jefferson
Medical College, Philadelphia, in 1833 and 1834. He graduated at
Jefferson Medical College in March, 1835. During the last year of his
residence in the city, he frequently visited patients in the city and
its environs, and in Feb., 1835, he was attacked with disease of the
lungs. He was examined for his degree by a part of the Professors
while confined to his bed, and he bore a very successful examination,
_all_ the Professors voting in his favor. He came home to Terrytown,
and lived but seven weeks after he reached home, dying on the 6 May,
1835. He was a member of the First Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia,
and had a complimentary letter from the Rev. Dr. Ely, introducing him
to some of the leading men of Columbia, South Carolina, and there he
would have gone if he had lived, as Dr. Ely had influential friends
there. The idea of going South to locate himself in the practice of
medicine was so deeply impressed upon his mind, that he could not
get rid of it, and he would not be satisfied until he started on his
journey, and he did start, rode four miles in a buggy, and died the
next morning at Thomas Ingham's.
I. SAMUEL TODD, son of Joseph Lee Horton and Hannah Todd, was born
at Owego, N. Y., 27 July, 1792; was married at Palmyra, 27 March,
1812, to MARY GALLOWAY, daughter of Captain James Galloway, and born
at Palmyra in May, 1794. He was a farmer and merchant, a spirited
business man, of commanding personal appearance, and greatly
respected. He was a First Lieutenant of a volunteer company of
militia in 1825. He died at Palmyra, 5 Sept., 1851.
His wife after his death moved to Genesee Co., Mich., where she died
13 May, 1867. They were both members of the Baptist Church of Palmyra.
Children:
1. James Galloway, born at Palmyra, April, 1815.
2. Cynthia, born at Palmyra.

Howard.
