DAVID PHILANDER, son of Joseph Hazzard Horton and Mehitabel Horton (_David_, _"Good" Jonathan_, _Dea. William_, _William_, _Jonathan I._), born in Southold, 31 Aug., 1827; married 3 Nov., 1857, by the Rev. B. Pillsbury, to CAROLINE RUSHMORE, of Hempstead, Queens Co., L. I., daughter of Benjamin Rushmore and Elizabeth Clowes, and born in Hempstead, 16 March, 1829.

Prof. D. P. Horton became a resident of Brooklyn in 1849, as a student in music, both vocal and instrumental. In December, 1856, he was employed to give instruction in music in the Public Schools of the city, and also to large classes of private pupils. Soon after this, he commenced leading the music in the Churches, and in this employment he has been engaged ever since, devoting his time during the week to giving instruction in the Public Schools, and leading the music in one or more Churches every Sabbath.

He possesses fine social as well as musical qualities, and he and his companion are both live members of the Presbyterian Church, and their influence for good is largely felt in the Church and congregation, and also wherever they are known. They have also given very valuable assistance in looking up the history of the Horton family--putting into my hands family records which Prof. Horton had been gathering up for some years past--and it has given me much pleasure to make their house my home, and enjoy their generous hospitality whenever I have had occasion to visit their beautiful city.

I. CAPT. WILLIAM HENRY, son of Henry Horton and Caroline Rogers (_Benjamin_, _Micah_, _Moses_, _William_, _Jonathan I._), born in Southold, about 1837; married about 1865, LYDIA CATHERINE BROWN, daughter of Bethia Horton Overton and Samuel Brown, Jr., and born in Southold, about 1840. In June, 1872, she was living with her mother, who was the third wife of Jonathan G. Horton. The Captain was then in Boston, having just returned from a voyage to the East Indies.

LINES

ON THE DEATH OF COUSIN NANCY T. HORTON.

The years are passing, but their changes
Do not allay our pain;
For oft in the hush of the twilight hour
We hear her loving voice again.

We hear her step on the floor beside us,
We turn to greet her there,
And as we would take her outstretched hand
We only meet--a vacant chair.

We wander with noiseless step
Again in her silent room;
There are her pictures and her books,
But, alas! they're shrouded in gloom.

No speaking eye is there to see
The beauty of earth or sky;
No melody cheers our sadness
But the song bird's floating by.

We think of the pupils whom she loved,
And taught with a teacher's pride;
They too will fondly remember
The days spent by her side.

Oh death! why did you rob us
Of the treasure we held so dear?
Why did you enter again our household
Claiming another victim here?

Why was the work so quickly ended,
Of a short but useful life?
For she lived not for herself alone
Amid this busy world of strife.

"Simply to the cross she clung"
As she stemmed the rolling tide--
With full assurance in her faith,
We know she lived and died.

The tears in our eyes are gathering,
But we brush them sadly away;
For afar in the distant future,
We see an unclouded day.

Yes, there we shall bind again,
These sundered broken bands;
There with the dearly loved and lost,
We'll meet with clasping hands.

We rejoice in the promise left us,
That she has only gone before,
For soon we shall win _our_ crown of joy,
Across the vale on the other shore.

APPENDIX.

MALONE, N. Y., _16 August, 1871_.

GEO. F. HORTON, M. D.:

_My Dear Friend_: Your very kind and interesting letter of the
18th inst., came duly to hand some days since. I have often
heard it said that the Hortons of this country sprung from two
brothers, who emigrated from England at an early day, and that
one of them settled in Massachusetts, and the other on Long
Island. My ancestor, Stephen Horton, I think, was a descendant
of Thomas Horton, who settled in Springfield, Mass., perhaps
a son of Thomas. My brother, John Horton, many years since
obtained from Dr. Horton, of Hartford, Ct., the genealogy
that I send you. There was many years since a Dr. Horton who
resided at Springfield, whom my eldest sister visited, and who
was a relative of ours. He had a son who was also a doctor in
New York City, and also engaged in the grocery and provision
business. I think he is dead. I am satisfied that Barnabas
Horton was a brother of Thomas.

Stephen Horton settled in West Springfield, Mass. He had two
sons, Benjamin and Stephen. Benjamin, born in 1720; died at
Brandon, Vermont, 13 Jan., 1803. He left two sons, Gideon and
Moses, also a daughter, who married a Mr. Underwood.

Gideon Horton was born in 1744, in West Springfield, Mass.;
married Sarah Douglass, great aunt to the Hon. Stephen A.
Douglass. He died at Brandon, Vt., 16 Dec., 1801. His sons
were Hiram, Gideon, Jr., and John. Hiram, born 5 March, 1764,
at West Springfield; married Sarah Drury, 16 June, 1785, at
Pittsford, Vt.; moved to Malone, Franklin Co., N. Y., in 1808.
He was one of the leading men of the county, holding the office
of County Treasurer, and first Judge of the Courts for several
years. He died 5 Oct., 1824.

He owned a large quantity of land, also mill-property, and
several mercantile stores. He belonged to the Presbyterian
Church, and was active and consistent in its duties. He had
three sons and seven daughters. Sons were: Harry, John, and
Hiram, Jr. (myself), all born in Brandon, Vt. Harry, born 22
July, 1796; died in Constable, N. Y., 22 August, 1840. He was
a farmer, a merchant, and a manufacturer of flour and lumber.
He belonged to the Congregational Church. He had two children,
Hiram Safford Horton (married and settled in Wisconsin, and
has a large family), and Delia A. Horton, who married Howard
E. King, Esq., merchant at Malone. John, son of Hiram. Sen.,
born 22 Dec., 1797; died at Madrid, St. Lawrence Co., N. Y.,
14 Oct., 1859, without issue. He was also a member of the
Congregational Church, and followed farming, milling, and
lumbering. Hiram, Jr., born 22 April, 1799; resides in Malone,
N. Y.; married 20 Jan., 1822, Adaline Wead. Has three children,
all born at Malone, N. Y. I. William L. Horton, born 28 Oct.,
1822; died 19 Sept., 1861. He was a lawyer; left two children:
George F. and Anna M. Horton. II. Adeline Mead Horton, born 21
Jan., 1834; married in Oct., 1864, Myron G. Horton, grandson
of Dr. John Horton, who was the son of Gideon Horton, Sen.,
being her 3d cousin. They reside at Malone, N. Y., and have two
children. III. Frederick, born 22 August, 1838, and died 13
April, 1867, childless. I have now named the male members of
my branch of the family, and for the family of Gideon Horton
Jr., I refer you to Dr. Charles W. Horton, of Brattleborough,
Vt., one of his sons, and for the family of Dr. John Horton,
I refer you to his son, Dr. Geo. Horton, Winauskie Falls, Vt.
The Hortons seem to have been given largely to the medical
profession. When your work is accomplished, I shall be glad to
have you send me one copy.

I am yours, truly,
HIRAM HORTON.

Mr. Horton, the writer of the foregoing letter, was a highly-respected member and Elder of the Presbyterian Church of Malone. He died 31 August, 1873. He was a dealer in flour, lumber, and dry-goods, real-estate, and merchandising of various kinds. Mrs. Myron G. Horton, informing me of his death, remarks that she is now (1874) the only one of his children living.

17½ WEST 30 ST., CINCINNATI, OHIO, _May, 1871_.

DR. GEO. F. HORTON:

_Dear Sir_: While at Pomeroy a few weeks since on a visit,
my father showed me your letter, requesting information in
regard to our descent, and asked me to answer your questions.
I am not really in a condition to give you any particular
information, for the reason that the notes I once made on the
subject, when, in 1864, I graduated at Dana College, are out
of my reach. A sketch of our genealogy and history had to be
recorded in our "Class Book," and I there broke ground in this
to me until then, unattractive field, in obedience to that
necessity. The main facts that I recall are, however, these:
I did not get very far in tracing my descent. My father,
Valentine B. Horton, was the son of Zenas Horton, who was the
son of David Horton--David was born near the beginning of the
last century; no! in the 2d or 3d decade, and fought in the old
French war, and was also a soldier in the Revolution, and was
killed at Saratoga. He lived in Braintree, Mass. Zenas Horton
moved thence to Windsor, Vt., where my father was born. Beyond
David I did not spend labor enough to penetrate; but I was
rendered nearly certain, I remember, that he was a grand-son
and great-grand-son, respectively, of two certain Thomas
Hortons, one of Springfield, and the other of Charlestown,
Mass., the elder of whom landed in Dorchester, from the
schooner _Mary and John_, in 1633. Barnabas, of Southold, I
remember coming across, but I was obliged, after following that
track for some time, to give him up, and settle upon Thomas,
the ancestor of David.... I shall be glad to communicate with
you further on this subject. My address I have already given at
my office (law), as above, and believe most sincerely yours,

S. DANA HORTON.

I have had some correspondence with this gentleman since the date of the above letter, but he has given no further information as to his lineage. The above would run thus: 6. S. Dana; 5. Valentine B.; 4. Zenas; 3. David; 2. Thomas; 1. Thomas. Some links are missing, for certainly, counting from the first Thomas, S. Dana Horton must be in the 8th or 9th generation. S. Dana wields the pen of a ready writer, and he has achieved considerable notoriety in the political reform literature of the day, especially in favor of so using the elective franchise as to give increased representation to minorities. Several of his articles have appeared in the _Penn Magazine_, of Philadelphia.

BARRINGTON, R. I., _March 27th, 1871_.

DR. GEO. F. HORTON:

_Dear Sir_: Your letter of inquiry lies before me, supplying
more information than I shall be able to give you. Ours is a
Boston family, where my father and grandfather both resided.
We were six brothers and four sisters, all of whom lived to
their maturity, but of whom only five now survive. The eldest
of these was Rev. Jotham Horton, of whom you inquire, who died
in Boston, in Feb., 1853. His son, Rev. Jotham Horton, died, a
martyr to freedom, by the mob spirit in New Orleans, some years
ago. Our father's name was Jotham, who was a ship-smith, and
did the iron work of the historic frigate _Constitution_.
