Horton Family

Horton, q name of Anglo-Saxon
derivation, admits of little, If any, va
riation; Horton, Hortun and Hortoun
being perhaps the only ones 1t is
from ort, or wort, meaning herbs or
vegetables, and tun, an enclosure, or
garden. Horton is the name of
towns in Kent, York, Chester, Dorset
and Gloucester, and in Norway there
is place called Horton; Vile de Hor-
ia Is town in the Azores.
What is perhaps the oldest frame
house In the United States was built
on Long island by Barnabas Horton,
pilgrim father. This house was still
standing few years ago. He was
born In 1000, in Leicestershire, Eng
land, and came over in the Swallow
1886, with wife and two sons, Joseph
and BENJAMIN. Eight children were
born here. The captain of the Swal-
low was a Horton, Jeremy by name

century, put down Joseph, father Of
Barnabas, the pilgrim. We can go
farther back and find Robert de Hor-
ton, lord of the Llanor of Horton, or
Great Horton, before 1910, but Just
where he comes IN, or where any of
the present generation of American
Horizons come in with reference to
him, It is impossible to say. Ancestors
have ways that are dark, that is, they
remind you, now you have me, and
now you haven't"
In the time OF Charles l., William
Horton, Of HowroYde, was a man of
some importance~enough so to have
his name handed Gown to the present
day. Sudbrooke Park, Petersham, is
one seat of the family, and 1t was the
home Of the author and statesman,
Sir Robert Horton. governor of Cey-
lon, and knighted in 1880. It was his
wife, Lady Beatrix, who was the sub

Much pity expires in expiat-

He who looks for thorns finds
the desert.
Goodness, like health. is never
conscious of itself.
He cannot be rich in himself
who dares not be poor.
1t is always a sad thing to have
pleasure without toll.
Often a tide of sorrow carries
us over a shoal of self.
Life is too short to miss a kind

Take care of your living and
your dying will take care of

One little deed is worth realms
