Abigail received a "letter of dismission to any church they may have opportunity to enjoy" and their after life and d. is unknown, except it is reported they rem. to some part of Vermont. During his res. in S. he was the most prominent citizen; served as town clerk 1782-87; moderator, 1790-93; selectman, 1782, 90 and 94; treas- urer, 1782-87; represented S.

HORTON
1. From the meager information of this family (largely from a few old letters written in 1896 by a Mr. William F. Horton of Fitzwilliam and Wor- cester, Mass., to Mrs. William H. Wright) it appears, John1 Horton was liv- ing at Chester, Vt., in 1796, and d. in Baltimore, the smallest town in area, in Vt. He may have been a s. of Adonijah Horton of Chester, 1790 census.
John had several ch. one of whom was Benjamin Franklin (2). Another appears to have been the father of Joseph Stevens Horton of Worcester, Mass., while another member of the family was Amanda Farr of Proctorsville, Vt.
John Horton Jr., of Gilsum and Ezra Horton are probably sons of John1 Horton of Chester, Vt.
2. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN2 HORTON (John1) said to have been b. in Chester, Vt., in 1810/12; fell into a spring near his home and was drowned Aug. 6, 1857. He settled in S. as early as 1836 and lived at No. 171 until he d. He received $3.00 from the town in 1843 for care of the meeting-house (Town Hall) and ringing the church bell for one year. He m.

While in the service he was reported as "deserted" but in a couple of years reached home, mentally deficient, not knowing where he had been or how he returned to S. It is re- ported he spent several months in Andersonville prison, and if he deserted, his mind was so broken he was not responsible for the act.

HOWE
JOHN HOWE of Sudbury, a petitioner for the incorporation of the town of Marlborough, Mass., was a son of John Howe, supposed to be the John Howe who came over from Warwickshire and who was a descendent of John Howe who in turn was a son of John of Hodinhull, and connected with the family of Sir Charles Howe of Lancaster in the reign of Charles I. John Howe, the signer of the petition for Marlborough in 1656 was, in 1657, one of several "chosen to put the Affairs of the said new Plantation in an orderly Way." In 1660 the town was incorporated and John Howe was one of the first selectmen.
"It seems, however, to be conceded, that John Howe was the first white in- habitant who settled in the town. He probably came to the place as early as 1657 or 1658, and built him a cabin a little east of the Indian planting field." In 1664 John Howe Sen. and others petitioned for permission to establish a church. "John Howe opened the first public house in the place. About 1670 we find his petition for a renewal of his license, and he speaks as though he had been some time engaged in the business. He was in Sudbury, Mass., 1639. He was admitted freeman in 1640. He d. at Marlboro, Mass., 1680, and his wife Mary died about the same time. In 1642 he was selectman in Sudbury, Mass., and in 1655 was appointed by the pastor and selectmen to 'see to the restraining of the youth on the Lord's day.'"
THOMAS HOWE b. June 12, 1656; d. at Marlborough, Mass., Feb. 16, 1733; m. June 21, 1681 Sarah Hosmer, b. 1659; d. April 7, 1724.

m. 1745 Lydia Baker of Littleton, Mass., b. 1724; d. June 8, 1809. They were parents of :
Rev. PERLEY HOWE b. Marlborough, Mass., Sept. 19, 1762; d. S. Oct. 20, 1840. He graduated from Dartmouth College, 1790. He came to S. to preach on probation in 1794; in town-meeting, Jan. 19, 1795, it was voted to give Mr. Howe a "call" and he was ordained Sept. 16, 1795, as pastor of the S. church, where he preached the word of God on the Sabbath; visiting the fatherless and widows; joining in holy matrimony many within and without this town, and tilling his farm until nearly the time of his d. He was a good penman and for many years kept a record of the marriages he performed, also the deaths which took place in S., both of which have been preserved and have been of great value in compiling the material for this history. He took the census of S., 1806, which shows the name and age of every person in town.
He was on the board of Inspecting Committee of the public schools in town and one of the active members of Surry Social Library which was in a flourishing condition a century ago. In 1797 he purchased a dwelling and 30 acres of land, No. 72, and in 1812 built and lived at No. 73.
The following obituary is taken from the Keene Sentinel of Nov. 4, 1840 :
"The funeral of the late Rev. Perley Howe of Surry was attended by a numerous circle of his friends, his townsmen and late parishioners. The Church* was well filled. Prayer and sermon by Rev. Abiel A. Livermore of Keene, including prayer by Rev. Ezra Adams of the Orthodox Society.
The eulogium of Mr. Livermore was just and exceedingly gratifying to all who have intimately known the deceased as a man and a Chris- tian minister for nearly 50 years.
The text was from Numbers xxiii-10 :-
He was a native of Marlborough, Mass., and at the time of his de- cease was in his 79th year. He graduated at Dartmouth College (A. M.) in 1790, and was soon led to the studies of the sacred profession. He commenced his duties of the ministry in Surry in 1794 where he has continued ever since, and although he had relinquished the charge of the original parish over which he was settled, he ceased not to preach almost to the day of his death to those of his friends and townsmen who desired it. His walk and conversation here, his labors of love and goodness, his faithfulness of his duties, the purity, sincerity and hon- esty of his life, can be testified to by those who knew him best and longest. He was a good man in the full meaning of the word, and those who were in his presence felt that respect and confidence which goodness ever inspires.
His character was remarkably well balanced; there were no un- seemly points, no ragged excrescence, as is the case sometimes with very good men; but proportion, development and equilibrium through- out. He cherished no grudges or revengeful dispositions, but was em- inently meek, forgiving and forbearing.
Possessed of a vein of humor, he often interspersed his conversation with anecdotes and witty illustrations, yet few were more grave, digni-

fied and serious in their tone of thinking and feeling. A few hours be- fore his death he requested to have the Bible brought to him. He took it and opened it, but was unable to read it. He closed it, and said, "It is the light of God's countenance."
The following resolutions taken from the Sentinel:
"Resolved,; That the members of the Cheshire Pastoral Association have learned with sorrow the late removal by death of a respected and beloved member of our body, the REV. PERLEY HOWE of Surry.
Resolved; That we condole with the circle of friends and parishioners, who by this dispensation have been berieved of one who has long been endeared to them by goodness of heart and purity of conduct, and who for 46 years has preached the Gospel of Christ not only with his lips, but with his life.
Resolved; That a copy of these resolutions be communicated to the berieved family with the prayer that they may enjoy in this season of their trial the unspeakable consolations of that Religion, which was the guide of our venerable father and brother in the ministry, and his hope full of immortality."
