Barnabas Horton
M, b. 13 July 1600, d. 13 July 1680
The name Horton came from the English word "horr" meaning "ravine" or "a town in the ravine".
Baranabas Horton
may have been from the small hamlet of Horton, Buckinghamshire, England; fourteen miles from London and four miles from Leighton Buzzard. However, more likely he was born on 13 July 1600 in Mowsley, (Mousley) Leicestershire, England. An historically important area, Leicestershire was the earldom of Simon b. de Montfort, leader of the baron's revolt against Henry III which brought about the first parliament. Leicester Castle, a Saxon stronghold, was rebuilt by Normans in 1086. Cardinal Wolsey died in the abbey there in 1530. Mowsley, however, eventually disappeared from English maps.
According to Warren Hall's 'Pagans, Puritans, Patriots of Yesterday's Southold", Barnabas Horton was a "big, strong, ruddy-faced, genial man" who was a baker by trade, but could make a living doing almost anything.
In 1635, Anne Smith Horton and their two young children emigrated with Barnabas on board the "Swallow" to settle in Hampton, Massachusetts where Barnabas had a grant of land. Captain Jeremiah or Jeremy Horton was master and owner of the "Swallow" from 1635 to 1638. On October 21, 1641, with a different wife, Barnabas was one of the organizers of the Congregational Church of the new town of Southold, Long Island.
As a leading citizen of Southold, he went on to serve as deputy of the General Court in New Haven during years between 1654 and 1664. He became a freeman of Connecticut Colony in 1662 and was on of the town's patentees, along with his son Joshua in 1676. Barnabas built the first frame home on eastern Long Island. Barnabas and four of his sons are said to have had the most land and wealth 1188 pounds worth - of the 82 taxpayers of Southold in 1675. Agriculture was the main source of their wealth. A new crop, tobacco, had brought them high prices abroad giving them a lucrative business. The new industry also brought slaves to the area. In the late 1600's, there were 800 whites, 40 Indians and, 41 blacks in Southold.
Barnabas was born on 13 July 1600 at Mowsley, county Leicestershire, England.1 He was the son of Joseph Horton. He married Anne Smith? in 1621 at Leicestershire.2,3 He married Mary Langton circa 1640.1 Barnabas died on 13 July 1680 at Southold, Long Island, Suffolk County, New York, at age 80.4,5
