"This is my hand-writing, so, through the mercy of the Lord, my
life is yet prolonged, but I am aged (77) and infirm, going the
down hill of life, living on borrowed time. Oh, how important
to be prepared for the final change!

"Of my sisters, the oldest is gone, taken in her 84th year,
departed suddenly, gone, we trust, to 'Heaven above, where all
is love,' and where sorrowing and sighing can never enter."

In another letter, she says: "Our home is pleasant, we live in a beautiful village of New Jersey. Yes, little New Jersey,

"'With all thy faults, I love thee still;
I see beauties on every hill;
Thy rocks in grandeur rise;
Thy rills are charming in my eyes.'"

Maj. Horton possessed more than an ordinary fund of cheerfulness and joviality; and his humorous and genial nature was an unfailing source of interest and life in the family and in the social circle. He was a careful business man. Though long engaged in mercantile pursuits, he never had occasion to fear financial crises or revulsions, living always prepared at any moment to honor his pecuniary obligations. Punctuality and promptness were marked characteristics of the man. To perform was more pleasing to him than to promise; in enterprises for the public good he was always among the first. He was constable for many years, Justice of the Peace for five years, and declined a re-election; was Treasurer of the County for two years, and was one of the electors on the Democratic electoral ticket in 1848. He was Captain and then Major in the militia, and from 1828 to 1835 Brigade Inspector.

Though not a public professor of Christianity, he was its friend and supporter, and conscientiously and habitually practised its virtues. He was uniformly in attendance upon public worship, and paid more money for the Terrytown Tabernacle (Union meeting-house) than any other person.

He was popular and pleasing in his manners, and politically a man of mark, but never a _politician_--holding office only when the office sought him. His end was quiet and peaceful.

"The 'Angel's Whisper' stole in song upon his closing ear;
From his own daughter's lips it came, so musical and clear,
That scarcely knew the dying man what melody was there:
The last of earth's or first of heaven's pervading all the air."

V. EUNICE, daughter of Maj. John Horton and Deborah Terry, born at Terrytown, 14 Jan., 1796; married in the old log meeting-house at Merry All, Pa., 20 July, 1817, by Rev. Minor Manasseh York, to THOMAS INGHAM, ESQ., son of Joseph Ingham and Pamelia Ellicott, and born in Bucks Co., Pa., 1 April, 1794. The ancestors of Thomas Ingham came from England. Jonas Ingham, the first known ancestor, came to this country about A. D. 1700. By trade he was a clothier. He married a Cheshire woman, who often told her grandson that she landed on the ground where the city of Philadelphia now stands before there was a house on it. They settled in Trenton, N. J., where their son Jonathan was born, in 1709 or 1710. They also had three daughters. Jonathan Ingham resided in Bucks County, at a place known as Ingham's Springs, where he owned a farm and woolen factory. He was a rigid Quaker. A cotemporary, who was well acquainted with him said, "He did not belong to the old aristocracy who governed Bucks County before the Revolution, but his position in life and high intelligence put him in their society." They made him a Justice of the Peace, a Judge of the Court, and a member of the Assembly. He died in 1798 or 1799, aged 89. He had 3 sons and 2 daughters. Jonas, his youngest son, was born in 1746. He learned the business of a clothier. January 3, 1771, he was married to Elizabeth Beaumont, and soon after leased his father's fulling mill, and was running it when the Revolutionary war commenced. When the contesting armies came near, he enlisted, and served first as a Lieutenant and then as a Captain in the militia. He was in service in 1777, and in the battle at Gulf Mills. In the early part of the year 1778 he was taken with a fever and sent home. He afterward purchased land and built a fulling mill near the Delaware River; he there lived some years and educated his children himself. In 1789 he commenced a settlement on the Wyalusing Creek, being the first settler above Lewis', on that stream. He was an ingenious mechanic, and invented the machine for shearing cloth, which afterwards came into general use. He was a good writer and public speaker. In 1804 he was elected a member of the Legislature from Luzerne County. He died October 28, 1820. He had three sons and three daughters.

Joseph, his eldest son, was born January 21, 1773, and his father taught him the common branches of education, including surveying and algebra. While his father was making his first improvements on the Wyalusing, Joseph remained at home in Bucks County, in charge of the business. He learned the trade of a millwright. About the year 1793 he married Pamelia Ellicott, and soon after bought three hundred acres of land on the Susquehanna River, at the mouth of the Sugar Run. He moved his family to this place in 1795, and commenced building a saw mill in the fall of 1801, and finished it in the spring following. Soon afterwards he built a grist mill. His wife, Pamelia Ellicott, died 17 November, 1824. He afterwards married Laura (Whitcomb) Vose, a widow, by whom he had two sons. He had six sons by his first wife--no daughters. He died 11 June, 1829. Thomas, his eldest son, was educated partly by his father at home and partly in the common-school at Wyalusing. He learned his father's business of millwright, running mills and farming. He bought a farm and settled first at Browntown, Pa. But he remained there but a short time, when he sold out and came back to Sugar Run, and lived near his father. After the death of his father, he bought the homestead, and there lived until his death. He re-built the mills, and also erected a store-house, and engaged in the mercantile business. While quite a young man he was appointed a Justice of the Peace, and held that office during the most of his life. His mind was well informed on all general topics; his judgment was excellent, and he was noted for his morality, honesty and truthfulness. He was mild and quiet in his manners, but decided and firm in his purposes. Eunice, his wife, was handsome in her appearance and pleasing in her manners, possessed a lively and cheerful disposition, and was exceedingly energetic. She managed all the affairs of her household with economy and skill, and often assisted her husband in his business. When he was absent she could as readily manage the business out-doors as in the house. She was remarkably generous, and always had a bountiful hand for the poor, and was active in assisting her neighbors who were in sickness or trouble. Without making a public profession, both she and her husband exhibited the virtues of Christianity in her daily walk and character. She died 2 March, 1844. He died 14 August, 1855. They were both buried in the Terrytown Cemetery.

He sailed from Ireland 14 March, 1811, and landed at Amboy, on 15 April, 1811. He was an excellent farmer, owned a good farm in "The Bend" Asylum, now Wilmot Township, Bradford County, Pa. He was engaged in early life in merchandising, and later in life in raising and selling stock and grain. He possessed good business capacities, and was a man of much influence and activity, of good, sound, moral character, and well read in the sacred Scriptures, and in sentiment a thorough Old School Presbyterian or Covenanter, but never made a public profession. He was fond of company, and always took pains to make pleasant visits for his friends when they called on him.

Sally was a good housekeeper--industrious, economizing and a skillful worker, often taking the premium at the County Fair for domestic articles of her own manufacture. She possessed a wonderfully retentive memory--readily stating, not only incidents that occurred at any time during her life, but also dates--dates of births, marriages and deaths of all her acquaintances, even from her early childhood. She had a peculiar faculty of stating a fact or circumstance so connected with others as to leave no doubt of its truthfulness. She died in Wyalusing, 27 April, 1874, leaving to her family and friends the consoling belief that she exchanged the cares and sorrows of this mortal life for the full fruition of that world

"Where fragrant flowers eternal bloom,
And joys supreme are given;
Where rays divine disperse the gloom,
Beyond the confines of the tomb,
The endless bliss of Heaven."

Mr. Morrow died in Wyalusing, at the residence of his son-in-law, Andrew Fee, 10 August, 1873, where he had lain sick about four months.
