In later years that of a farmer. He embraced religion in early life, and united with the Presbyterian Church of Southold, and was chosen a Deacon and an Elder. He filled these offices for more than thirty years. For the greater part of his life he stood in official stations, and by them he was much burthened. But in all his civil, military, ecclesiastical and judicial relations, he was well sustained and gave general satisfaction. The many and complex cares wore upon his naturally good constitution, and at length led on to a lingering consumption which called him to his grave, 19 Jan., 1819, in the 54th year of his age.

He was thrice married, 1. to PATIENCE CORWIN; 2. MARTHA GARDINER, a very pious lady. She was confined to her bed a long time by sickness, previous to her death, and by her request, the Rev. Elam Potter prepared her funeral sermon, and read it to her previous to her death, which occurred in 1792; married 3. MARY GOLDSMITH.

"He occupied the east side of the old house, my grandfather, David Horton, the west side. My grandfather took the farm, and cared for 'Uncle' William's mother, who lived to be very aged. He always lived in good style, and kept several slaves. His third wife had the first woolen carpet ever known in that vicinity. A good stock of liquors was always found upon his board, and he allowed no wood except hickory to be used for fuel.

"He was a gentleman who always rode in his chaise, and spent much of his time in fishing and other amusements, and the 'William Horton Rock,' one of his most frequent fishing points, is famous to this day. He died without issue. His third wife survived him, and after his death she sold 'Tom' for $100, and 'Hagar' for $70. She married JOSIAH VAIL--lived happily for many years in the cottage a little west of the old Barnabas Horton Homestead."--_Letter of D. P. Horton, 1872._
