HORTON This is a name found in Eng- land at a very early period. In the twelfth century Robert de Horton was possessed of the manor of Hor- ton in Lincolnshire, England. This form of the name indicates that it is of Latin origin and came from France into England. Its first beginning and significance is lost in the mazes of the remote past. The French sylla- ble "de" signifies "of," and shows that the name is derived from a locality or manor. The Hortons were possessed of a manor, including mill and land at Great Horton, in England. William Horton, Esq., of Firth, had a home- stead at Barksland, in Halifax, England. He is said to have been a descendant of Robert de Horton. His wife Elizabeth was daughter of Thomas Hanson, Esq., of Toothill, and died about 1640. They had sons William and Jo- seph. The latter born about 1578, may have settled at Mousley, and was possibly the father of the immigrant ancestor of this country. In early generations here the fam- ily was engaged chiefly in tilling the soil, but later generations have engaged in professional life, and are found among manufacturers and other leaders of industry. They have been conspicuously identified with the settlement and history of Westchester county, where many representatives now occupy prominent positions in the business world.
(I) Barnabas Horton was born July 13. 1600, in Mousley, Lincolnshire, England, and died July 13. 1680, in Southold, Long Island. He came to America in the ship "Swallow," owned and commanded by Jeremy Horton,
between 1635 and 1638, and was landholder at Hampton, Massachusetts ( now New Hamp- shire), where his house lot was granted in June, 1640. In the following year he was in Ipswich, Massachusetts, where he sold six acres of land March 12, 1641. He was subse- quently at New Haven, Connecticut, with his wife Mary and sons Joseph and Benjamin. He appears as one of the organizers of a church in New Haven, October 31, 1640, and was deputy to the general court of Connecticut several times between 1654 and 1661. He may have been at that time a resident of Southold, then considered under the jurisdiction of Con- necticut. He was constable at Southold in 1656-59, and collector of customs in 1658-59. He appears as a freeman at Southold, Octo- ber 9. 1662, and was commissioner for that town in 1663-64. The records show that he had property at Southold in 1651, and he was made a member of a committee at New Ha- ven to buy lands of the Indians at the east end of Long Island, December 7. 1665. He brought with him from England a Bible, printed in 1597, which is preserved by his descendants, and also the musket which he used. He built the first frame house on Long Island, and this was still standing in 1875. the sides still cov- ered with the original shingles. He is de- scribed as a pions man, an advocate of civil and religious freedom. His homestead at Southold remained in the hands of his de- scendants until 1873, when its last owner, Jon- athan G. Horton, willed it to an adopted daughter, having no children of his own. In a table of Long Island rates made in 1775 he was assessed for thirty-seven acres of land at £37; nine oxen, £54; four three-year-old cattle, £16; four two-year-olds, fio; four year- lings, £6; sixty-nine sheep, £23; six horses, £72; one colt, £3: eight swine, £8. His chil- dren were: Joseph, Benjamin, Caleb, Joshua, Jonathan, Hannah, Sarah, Mary, Mercy, Abi- gail.
(II) Joseph, eldest child of Barnabas and Mary Horton, born about 1625, in England, died before June 12, 1696. Ile resided near his father in Southold until about 1664, when he removed to Rye, now in Westchester county. New York, then under the jurisdiction of Connecticut. Ile was admitted a freeman of the Connecticut colony October 9, 1662, then residing at Southold. In 1665 he sold his house and land at Southold, his father being the purchaser of his homestead. In 1671 he
454

was a selectman of Rye, and about the same time was on a committee to procure a minis- ter. In 1672 he was deputy to the general court, and in 1676 was a commissioner em- powered to administer oaths to town officers. In 1678 he was justice of the peace, and com- missioner for Rye 1681-83 .. He was con- firmed by the general court of Connecticut, May 9, 1667, as lieutenant of the train band at Rye, and was later a captain. He was cmpow- cred to marry couples in 1678. In 1691 he inherited land from his brother Benjamin, and in 1695 was chosen vestryman of the church at Rye. He was a miller by occupation, and many of his descendants were similarly engaged. He married, about 1655, Jane, daughter of John and Catherine Budd, of Southold. John Budd was one of the original thirteen Puritan settlers of Southold, in 1640, and moved to Rye before 1664. This probably led to the removal of Joseph Horton to Rye. The latter's children were: John, Joseph. Samuel, David, Jonathan, Benjamin and Han- nah.
( III) David, fourth son of Joseph and Jane ( Budd ) Horton, was born about 1654, in Southold, and settled in White Plains, New York. Before 1700 he bought land there of his brother John, and October 27, 1707, re- ceived a quitclaim from his nephew to lands previously owned by Joseph Horton in White Plains. His earmark was registered in 1719. He was one of the patentees of the White Plains purchase, and as such was a grantor to fellow members of the association January 18, 1723. He decded land at White Plains to his son David, March 5, 1726. He was among those who signed a petition to the general court of Connecticut, May 11, and October 5, 1727, relating to the building of a meeting house at Rye. He quitclaimed land formerly owned by his brother Samuel to a nephew April 24, 1733. He married Esther King; children: David. Rebecca, William, Thomas, Joseph, Daniel and John.

This is one of the oldest STANBROUGH English familieson Long Island, or even in the state of New York, as Josiah Stanborough (the original form of the family name), the ancestor, was one of the original "undertak- ers." or promoters, and settlers of the town settled in the state. He came from Stanstead, Kent, England. His rank and position are
known as "Mr." and "Gentleman," at a time when only a very few had any claim to those titles. With the rest of the original settlers he came to Lynn, Massachusetts, and while there made an agreement to purchase land and found a new colony on Long Island. They sailed from Lynn and landed on Long Island at a place called North Sea, in the town of Southampton, June 12, 1640. Like all the rest, he had his home lot on the main street of Southampton, but about 1656 he purchased several lots of land at a place called Saga- ponack, which is the southeast part of the town of Southampton, a region noted for the fertility of its soil, and lying next to the ocean. March 9, 1658, his house in that place is men- tioned, and that was the first mentioned in what is now known as the flourishing village of Bridgehampton. Shortly after settling there his wife died. He then married Alce, widow of Thomas Wheeler, of New Haven, who brought with her two children, John and Mary Wheeler. The following is an abstract of the will of Josiah Stanborough, which is the first will recorded in Suffolk county :
In the name of God, Amen. 1 Josiah Stanbor- ough, being sick in body, but of perfect memory do make and ordain this my last will and testament this 6 of July, 1661. I commit my Soul to Almighty God and my body to be buried at Sagaponack by my former wife. I leave to my wife Alce, one-third of my land within fence, during her life and then to my sone Peregrine Stanborough.
To my daughter Sarah, 12 head of cattle. To my daughter Mary. to head of cattle and 20 sheep. To my son Josiah all my land unfenced and 10 head of cattle and 20 sheep. To the poor of Southampton, €5. 1 make my son Peregrine, executor.
This will was proved September 3. 1661. Mary Stanborough married John Edwards, of East Hampton. Whether her sister Sarah married is not known.
( Il ) Peregrine Stanborough lived and died on the homestead of his father, situated at the south end of the street of Sagaponack, and still bears the name of "Stanborough Lot." In the ancient burying ground at Sagaponack is a tombstone with this inscription : "Mr. Per- egrine Stanborough. Deacon in ye Parish, de- parted this Life, Jan. ye 4, 1701, in ye 62 yeare of his Age." The will of Peregrine Stan- borough is recorded in the "Lester Will Book," in Suffolk county clerk's office, and is printed in Pelletreau's "Early Long Island Wills." The year 1701 should be 1702 according to the "new style," or present style of reckoning.

From this it appears that he was born in the same year that the town was settled, and it is a tradition that he was the first child born in the town.

He learned the trade of cabinet and piano making with his father, but at the age of six- teen went into a general store in the capacity of clerk. After four years he learned prac- tical dentistry with his brother, and began practice in 1851, at Union, thence removed to Lisle, and from the latter place to Farmers- ville, Seneca county, New York, where he re- mained until 1854. He came to Owego and practiced until 1859, then removed to New- burg, where he lived until 1862. In July and August of that year he recruited a company of infantry for service in the Union army. and was elected first lieutenant. After four months service with Company I. 124th New York Infantry Regiment, he was discharged for disabilities. He then returned to New- burg and to his profession, continuing to May, 1864. In the latter year he came to Owego and became a member of the firm of Beam, Stanbrough & Holdridge, general hard- ware dealers, and after four years became sole proprietor. Edwin Stratton soon became partner under the firm name of Stanbrough & Stratton, which firm was in business until 1879, when Dr. Stanbrough bought out his partner's interest. In the fall of 1895 the hard- ware stock was closed out, and from that time until his death Dr. Stanbrough continued in business, dealing exclusively in stoves and hot water heating apparatus, and doing a general plumbing business.
He was ever a prominent figure in social and political circles in Tioga county. He was a firm Republican, and as such was one of the village trustees in 1872-73.

It is believed that the GREENLEAF Greenleaf family was of Huguenot origin, the name being a translation of the French "Feuille- vert." The name is rarely found in England, except at Ipswich, county Suffolk. It is thought that the family fled from France with other Iluguenots and settled in England.
(I) Edmund Greenleaf, the immigrant an- cestor, was baptized January 2, 1574, at the parish of St. Mary's la Tour, in Ipswich, county Suffolk, England. He was the son of Jolın and Margaret Greenleaf, and among the family relics still preserved is the cane brought to this country by Edmund Greenleaf, bearing the initials "J. G." on a silver band near the handle. He settled in Newbury. Massachu- setts, and lived near the old town bridge, where he kept a tavern many years. He was by trade a silk dyer. He was admitted a freeman March 13, 1639, and licensed to keep a tavern May 22, 1639. He served in the militia and November 11, 1647, requested his discharge from the service. He removed to Boston about 1650, and there his wife died, and he mar- ried again, not very happily, as his will shows, written, it is supposed, by his own hand, dated December 22, 1668, proved February 12, 1671, in which his second wife is not mentioned, and a note is attached explaining the omission at length. He bequeaths to son Stephen, to daughter Browne, widow, and to his daughter Coffin : to grandchildren Elizabeth Hilton and Enoch Greenleaf ; to Enoch's oldest son James, to cousin Thomas Moon, mariner ; sons Ste- phen Greenleaf and Tristram Coffin, execu- tors; refers also to William, Ignatius and James Hill, his wife's sons, and to bequests to them from their aunt.
