HORTON The antiquity of the Horton family is well-proven. Long before the time of Henry Larey, Earl of Lincoln, who died in 1310, Robert De Horton manumitted a bondman to his manor of Horton. The name Horton in the Anglo-Saxon language means an inclosure or garden of vegetables. The name is evi- dently of Latin origin and has been known in England ever since the conquest. The first of the family in America of whom there is authentic record came from England in 1633- 38. Thomas, Jeremiah and Barnabas Horton were among the early emigrants. Tradition says they were brothers.
( II ) Barnabas Horton, son of Joseph Hor- ton. was born in Mouseley, Leicestershire. England, July 13, 1600. He came to New England in the ship "Swallow." Captain Jer- emy Horton, master and owner, in 1635-38, landed at Hampton, Massachusetts, went to New Haven, Connecticut, 1640, with wife Mary and sons Joseph and Benjamin. In Octo- ber, 1640. he made a permanent settlement in what is now Southold, Long Island, New York, where his last eight children were born ; the first two were born in England.

He was admitted a freeman of Connecticut colony, 1662. In 1671 he was chosen selectman of Rye. In 1678 he was justice of the peace, a lieutenant, later captain of militia, and also authorized by the general court to issue war- rants and perform marriages. In 1695 he was vestryman of the church and in 1699 licensed to keep a house of entertainment. He was a miller, an occupation followed by sev- eral of his descendants. He married, about 1655, Jane, daughter of John Budd, one of the thirteen original Puritans, who settled Southold in 1640. Children, all but the last born at Southold, Long Island : Joseph, John, Samuel, David (of whom further), Abigail, married Roger. Park; Jeremiah.

He was exclusively engaged in the manufacture of bed posts and other turned woodwork, including wooden bowls. He also shipped out much of curly and bird's-eye maple with which the district abounded.

TEW This family was founded in New England by Richard Tew, son of Henry and Mary (Clarke) Tew, of Maidford, Northamptonshire, England. The following instrument, dated October 18, 1633, was placed upon record in Rhode Island at a later date: "This indenture made the 18th day of October in the 9th year of the reign of our Sovereign Lord Charles of England and Ireland, King, Defender of the Faith, etc., between Henry Tew of Maidford, etc., yeo- man, and William Clarke of Prior Hardwick, etc., witnesseth: That for and in considera- tion of a marriage by the grace of God shortly to be had and solemnized between Richard Tew, son and heir apparent of said Henry and Mary Clarke, one of the daughters of William Clarke, and for the sum of £20 of lawful money of England, by bond secured to be paid by William Clarke unto the said Henry Tew, upon the last day of May next, and for the sum of £120 by bond secured to be paid by him, the said William Clarke, to him the said Richard Tew upon 29th day of September, 1640, and for other good causes, etc." Then follows an engagement entered into by Henry Tew to make over on his part to his son Rich- ard, houses, barns, tenements, hereditaments, fields, etc.
Richard Tew came to New England in 1640, his daughter Seaborn receiving her name from the fact that she was born on the ocean, dur- ing the voyage to America. In 1642 he is found at Newport, Rhode Island, where that year he bought fifty-nine and one-half acres of land of John Anthony of Portsmouth. This seems to have been his home ever afterward. In later years he united with the persecuted Quakers (Society of Friends) and had re- corded upon the French records the births of his children. In 1643 he purchased twenty acres of land. In 1653 he was on a commit- tee for arranging matters that concern Long Island and in the case concerning the Dutch. He was called at the time "of Portsmouth," but he abode there but a short time. During the years 1654-56-57-58-60-63, he was com- missioner. In 1655 he was made a freeman. (This is the date of his joining the church.) In 1657 he bought forty acres of land. In
1657-62-63-66-67 he was chosen assistant (to the governor). In 1659 he bought a share of the Conanticut settlement, consideration : "A good ewe and six ewe lambs, or a mare colt." In 1661 he was on a committee to re- ceive contributions for the agents in England (Roger Williams and John Clarke). In 1663 he is named in the Royal Charter granted Rhode Island by Charles II. The same year he was on a committee for setting bounds between Portsmouth and Newport. In 1663- 64-65 he was deputy from Newport to the general assembly. In 1664 he bought a dwell- ing house and land, together with a marsh, consideration : "a certain sum." In 1667 he was on a committee appointed on prison and pound. In 1671 he was nominated with twenty-seven others as persons from whom a special court should appoint a jury in case of two Indians imprisoned on a criminal charge. He died in 1673. A tradition of the family relates that he died in London, England, where he had gone to look after some prop- erty. In 1687 his widow Mary signed as a witness in settlement of estates of John Pea- body Sr., of Newport. He married, in Eng- land, Mary Clarke, who survived him until 1687. Children: I.

He was deputy, 1680 and 1698, and the latter year was on a committee to "inspect our body of laws." He now had the title of captain. In 1699 he was chosen agent to go to Eng- land, but declined. He signed a letter with others concerning matters of controversy be- tween Connecticut and Rhode Island. Begin- ning February 4, 1702, and for several years thereafter, he served on a committee of four- teen persons appointed to attend to matter of proprietors' lands. In 1703-04-05-08-09-10-II- 12, he was assistant (governor's). In 1706 he was on a committee to build a fort on Goat

Island. In 1707 he was with others given authority to impress a vessel into commis- sion "to bear up for volunteers." In 1709 he was on a special committee for advising Gov- ernor Cranston concerning the expedition against Canada. In 1714 he was chosen dep- uty governor in place of Walter Clarke, de- ceased. He now held the rank and title of lieutenant-colonel, June 18. 1717. He deeded his son Henry, "for love, etc.," certain land in Newport, with mansion, house, barns, or- chards, garden, etc., and sundry other parcels, reserving six rods where his mother and wife were buried, to be laid out "twelve rods wide and three in length, for use as a burial place forever."

(IV) Captain Henry Tew, son of John Tew, was born at Dighton, Massachusetts, October 29, 1729. Until after the revolution the family remained mostly in Newport and Middletown, Rhode Island, and in Dighton and the adjoining town of Freetown, Massa- chusetts. In 1771, according to the provincial census, Job, William, Thomas and James were heads of families in Newport. In 1790 Elisha, Henry, James, John, Joshua, Mary, Newport, Thomas, and William were heads of families in Newport, Rhode Island. At Dighton, in 1790, Paul, Daniel, Henry, Benjamin and Henry Jr. were heads of families, all doubt- less descendants of John. Henry had two males over sixteen, one under that age, and Henry Jr. two under sixteen and four females in the family. No other Tews were then re- ported as living in Massachusetts. Henry Tew, born January 23, 1705, son of Henry, lived at Middletown, Rhode Island, by wife Sarah had: Henry, born February 14, 1735; Ann, February II, 1737; Job, January 9, 1739; Mary, December 14, 1742; Admiral, March 13, 1746. His family left town, how- ever, as the only head of the family of the name in 1771 was Edward, having three fe- males in his family. A Henry Tew married at Newport, October 2, 1728, Margaret Eas- ton. Henry Tew, of Dighton, married there (intention dated October 20, 1753), Elizabeth Hathaway. Daniel Tew, doubtless a brother, married at Dighton (intention dated January 12, 1762) Rosa Hathaway. In the revolution we find David Tew of Dighton, Uriah of Dighton (who married, in 1787, Sarah Samp- son), Daniel Tew of Berkley, Peter Tew of Lancaster, Charles Tew of Berkley and Digh- ton, and William Tew of Rhode Island. Cap- tain Henry Tew and his son Henry were also soldiers from Digliton. Henry was second lieutenant in Captain James Nicolls' (Eighth) company, second Bristol county regiment, commissioned April 26, 1776, serving in the Rhode Island campaign ; also captain of the same company in 1779, and in Colonel John Hathaway's regiment in 1780. As both Henry Sr. and Jr. were reported in the census of 1790, neither lost his life in the revolution. Henry Tew Jr. married, at Dighton (inten- tion dated July 4. 1782), Betty Hathaway.
