III. HENRY WISNER HORTON, son of Joseph Lee Horton and Hannah Todd, born at Owego, N. Y., 31 May, 1797. Moved with his parents to Palmyra, N. Y.; married at Penfield, N. Y., 31 Jan., 1819, to ADAH JENNINGS, daughter of Joseph Jennings and Nancy Sherman. She was born at Broadalbin, Saratoga Co., N. Y., 8 Oct., 1800. She died 20 Jan., 1856. They moved from Palmyra to Royaltown, Niagara Co., N. Y., in 1819. Remained there until 1830, when they removed to Groveland, Oakland Co., Mich., and settled on the farm upon which they now live (1873). He purchased his farm of the Government, and it was the first Government land sold and occupied in that township. He was an Acting Justice of the Peace for twenty-two years. He was town-clerk for nine years, and supervisor for three years. He embraced Christianity in early life, became connected with the M. E. Church, and has been one of the Stewards in that church in Groveland, from 1839 to the present time. He has frequently been the class leader of the church, and his house has always been known as "The Methodist Tavern and Preacher's Home." Through his efforts mainly, a comfortable church building was erected on the corner of his farm, and it has always been known as the "Horton Methodist Church." He was Captain of the first volunteer militia company ever organized in that section of the country. He was always a true republican, and frequently received the nomination of the Whig party for a seat in the Legislature, but in consequence of the large Democratic majority in the district, he was never elected. With a character unblemished he has lived to an honorable old age, and by his many virtues he commands the respect and high esteem of the church and community in which he resides. Children: 1.
