Part 20

XV. FIDELIA, daughter of Dea. Ezra Horton and Olive May, born at Union, Ct., 5 Jan., 1809; married at Smithfield, N. Y., 15 Sept., 1835, THOMAS MOORE, of Smithfield, N. Y., son of Thomas Moore, of Union, Ct., and born at Union, Ct., 6 Oct., 1806; died at Smithfield, N. Y., 5 July, 1853. She died 13 June, 1844.

2. Franklin, born 3 Nov., 1843; married 28 June, 1870, Mary M. Clark.

II. DR. WILLIAM, son of Wm. Horton and Phebe Rumsey (_Silas_, _Dea. James_, _Jonathan I._), born in Goshen, N. Y., 16 May, 1796; died in Goshen, at the age of 47 years. He married 9 April, 1817, Maria Ryneck, of Schenectady.

Children, all born in Goshen:

1. Silas Ryneck.

2. Eugene.

3. William.

4. Egbert, died young.

5. Emily, married J. J. Dobson.

6. Margaret, married S. W. Teddel.

7. Charlotte, married Jesse E. Moffat.

8. Gertrude, married Brown C. Ward.

At the age of 18 the Doctor entered the junior class at Union College, and he was soon distinguished for his close application to his studies and strict regard for integrity. After his collegiate course, he studied medicine, and attended medical lectures in the medical department of the University of New York, during the palmy days of Mitchell and Hosack, and like these eminent teachers, he cultivated a taste for patient, cautious and bold investigation, which afterwards made him so distinguished and successful in the medical profession.

He commenced the practice of medicine at the residence of his father, and he soon possessed the confidence of the people and secured a large practice. He afterwards moved to the village of Goshen, and soon became a prominent man among his medical brethren, and, though young, he was nevertheless called upon to perform all the difficult and grave surgical operations occurring in the village, and also in the surrounding country. He was a good surgeon, but he was still more celebrated as a physician. By his skill and honorable bearing, he early secured the confidence of his medical brethren, and he was frequently called in consultation with the aged and experienced physicians of his day. He was remarkably successful in the treatment of fevers, carefully studying their pathology at the bedside, and also by post-mortem examinations, and in his views he was greatly in advance of the profession of his day. He prepared with great labor a work on fevers, but never published it. His pamphlet on Dysentery, and his Geological Reports, are his only published works, and these are sufficient to establish his reputation as a profound thinker and a clear and powerful writer.

At the bedside he was cheerful, affectionate and soothing, and always dignified. In his intercourse with his medical brethren he was always honorable, and in harmony with the code of medical ethics.

In the midst of his career of usefulness as a physician, he turned his attention to the study of botany, mineralogy and geology, and soon became one of the most noted men of his day in these sciences. His great delight in these studies led him, at the age of 37, to relinquish the practice of medicine and devote himself wholly to these sciences, and had he lived a few days longer, he would have published a large work on these subjects. The Doctor was also fond of archæological lore, and he was the first to attempt a genealogical history of the descendants of our old progenitor, Barnabas, of 1640. The old Horton roll of names and lineage which he got up some 60 years ago, was kindly furnished me by his son, Dr. William Horton, of Craigville, N. Y., and has rendered me valuable assistance in compiling the "Chronicles."

Dr. Horton was always rigidly moral, and never sacrificed principle to expediency. He had early been taught to respect the teachings of the Bible, and towards the close of his life he was led, with a child-like faith, to believe the doctrine of salvation by grace, and to publicly give himself to the Saviour, wondering and regretting that he had so long remained ignorant of the beauty, simplicity and sublimity of the Gospel scheme of salvation. Thus he died, in hope of a glorious immortality.

"Elizabeth Masters was born in Minnisink, 21 March, 1757, then a wilderness with but few inhabitants. When she was an infant the settlement was attacked by the Indians. The mother, with her child in her arms, fled, and made her way to a place of safety, just before being taken by the Indians. Her mother's sister, Mary Walling, was seized by them; and killed and scalped. Her grandmother, Susan Walling, in making her escape through the swamps, sank in the mire and mud. The Indians passed within a few feet of her, but did not discover her. She was found by her friends after the Indians left, and extricated almost dead, having remained in the mud almost one whole day."--_Letter of Henry Albert Horton, 1874._

"My Dear Friend and Cousin, Dr. Geo. F. Horton:

"Yours of the 5th came to hand on the 10th inst. I was away from home when it came, or I should have replied sooner. I thought I would write to-day, and let you hear once more from your old cousin, now nearly 83 years old....

"My father's name was Thomas Horton. My mother's maiden name was Hannah Moore. My grandfather's name was also Thomas Horton. He was a soldier in the Revolutionary War, and he and his brother-in-law, Nathan Moore, were taken prisoners when the British captured Fort Montgomery, and they were imprisoned in a vessel in New York Harbor, called 'a prison ship.' I never heard any other name for it. In that prison, by hard treatment and starvation, they were reduced so low that when set at liberty they both died before they got home. There were several other prisoners on that prison ship who lost their lives by the same cruel treatment.

"My father had ten children--4 sons and 6 daughters--all lived to be heads of families. I have often heard my father speak of a certain cup with the name of a bank on it, where a large sum of money was left by his father. When that cup was taken to the bank they could draw money. He said the cup was lost and how much money with it he did not know."

Capt. Horton commenced a sea-faring life when about 19 years old, with Capt. Nathaniel Case, in the ship _Triad_. With a crew of about 25 men, they made a voyage of about nine months in the South Atlantic Ocean, in latitude 35 to 40°, and longitude 10 to 20°. The voyage was prosperous and the business paid well. He afterwards made a voyage on the Indian Ocean and South Sea. He followed the business for 13 years, and during that time, he circumnavigated the earth four times. It is a remarkable fact that, notwithstanding all the hazard and danger of a sea-faring life, they never lost a man by accident or sickness. They were all temperate men, and this had much to do with their immunity from danger, sickness and death. The Captain quaintly remarks that a half gallon demi-john of liquor was not used by the whole crew, as a beverage, during any one of their voyages. During the time he followed the sea he visited the Sandwich Islands, the Society Isles, and also New Zealand. On the island of Owyhee he saw the place where Capt. Cook was killed by the natives.

The last voyage was in 1846-47 and 48, and during this voyage the Captain had command of the ship. He took but two gallons of spirits with him on that voyage, and part of that he brought back with him.

The Captain is beautifully situated at Peconic, L. I.--has a beautiful farm, which he knows how to keep in good order, and his house, among the best in the township of Southold, is admirably kept by his amiable and accomplished lady, and nearly every room in it is richly ornamented with frames and cases of rare, costly and beautiful sea-shells, most tastefully arranged, and all done by the delicate hands of Mrs. Horton herself. Great skill and persevering effort were required to accomplish so much.
