The Rev. F. A. Horton, in his letter of April, 1871, says:

"Our relatives are mainly in Southold, along the Hudson, in
central and western New York, and in Michigan. I recollect
father always said that one of the original brothers went into
New Jersey, and that he had lost all trace of him. May be _you_
are a scion from that root. At any rate, the Hortons are a
great people. I see an account now and then of some of them
in the reports of criminal prosecutions, but these are offset
by now and then one in good and honorable places. The last
Governor of Michigan married a full-blooded Horton of our line.
Trace us back to the throne if you can, see that you make no
less of our great top root, when you find him than an Earl."
Another Horton says: "If you find any of the name claiming to
have royal blood in his veins, perform phlebotomy upon him at
once, and take every drop out of him or disown him. Trace us
back to the noble old Roman CINCINNATUS, if you can."--_Dr.
Horton, of Orange Co., N. Y._

Under date of 17 June, 1875, he says, "In relation to my two voyages across the Atlantic and my travels in Europe, I must say, in all candor, that I revert to them as the most palmy days of my earthly pilgrimage. Should opportunity occur, I would again cheerfully place myself upon the perilous waves, that I might once more enjoy the rich feast spread out before me in the classic lands of the Orient."

I. HARRY LAWRENCE, son of William B.

H. L. Horton]

Harry L. Horton's father was a well-to-do farmer, and Harry remained with his parents and worked on the farm until he was seventeen years old. He received but a moderate common-school education, and, during his school-boy days, he was noted for his activity and sagacity, and early exhibited more than ordinary business capacity. At the age of seventeen he engaged as a clerk in the store of D. Brink & Son, at Horn Brook, Pa., and remained with them until they sold out to H. W. Langford & Co., and with them he continued his clerkship until they closed business. Shortly after this, he was engaged for one year by O. D. Bartlett, Esq., of Towanda, Pa., as clerk in his store, and at the expiration of that time, he entered the store of Joseph Powell & Co., of Towanda, with whom he served as clerk until 1854. He always gave good satisfaction to his employers. Having by his industry and economy laid up a small sum of money, he decided to go West, and leaving Bradford County in 1854, he traveled extensively in Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin, until he neared the bottom of his purse, without locating or engaging in business anywhere. But at length, in 1856, he went to Milwaukee, and engaged in the produce commission business, in which he was very successful. Here he seemed to be permanently settled. But after the death of his wife, his business, which had been very remunerative, seemed to lose much of its interest, and in March, 1865, having closed up his business in Milwaukee, with about $15,000 in pocket, he went to New York City, and immediately engaged in the banking and broker business, in which he has continued until the present time, conducting a large business, which, under the supervision of his keen eye and his assiduous personal attention, he has made very lucrative. He now owns a fine property on Staten Island, and, though he lost largely by the panic of 1873, he is still doing a fair business, and, to use his own language, he "has always managed to pay a hundred cents on the dollar and never _failed_."

He possesses excellent social qualities, is kind-hearted, generous and noble, and at his banking house, 56 Broadway, New York, or at his island home, those who visit him will meet with such a frank and cordial reception as to make them feel that they are not only at home, but at the home of one whose words and deeds define the character of a true gentleman.

Mr. Horton was married 2. in Trinity Chapel, N. Y., 12 October, 1875, by the Rev. Dr. Weston, to Sara Patten, a lady of culture and refinement of the city of New York, and an esteemed member of the Episcopal Church.
