It is held that this Joseph settled in Mousely, Leicester Co., and was the father of Barnabas Horton. It is highly probable that Barnabas was not the oldest son, and not inheriting real estate, may have been one reason for his emigrating to America.
Capt. Roger Horton, about this time, had a prisoner delivered to him, from the White Line Prison, to be transported into parts beyond the seas, to serve in the wars of his majesty's plantations.

NOTE.
This little book contains the chronicles of only about one-half of the Horton families looked up. Those whose genealogical data are given only in a small part, and those whose correct lineage has not been satisfactorily ascertained, are not included in this book.
This book is mainly what those who have kindly furnished records and sketches have made it. The whole has been carefully compiled. But genealogical works, almost of necessity, contain many errors. Doubtless this small work has its full share. But when errors are discovered, notice thereof should be given, so that a second edition may be made entirely truthful. Thankful to all who have generously given their assistance, this work is sent out as a small contribution to the genealogical literature of the day, and in the hope that a more full and extensive book of Horton chronicles may be issued at no very distant day.

At one time, it is said, a prize-fighter known as the "Boston Bully," came all the way from Boston to Peekskill to whip Billy Horton. It was in cold weather, and Horton at first declined to fight. But he was called a coward, and this he would not stand, and then the seconds were chosen, and the fight began, Horton came off victorious, the Boston man being so severely handled that it was several weeks before he was able to return home. He was kindly cared for by Horton until he was able to return.
