He came to the New World on the <EM>Swallow</EM> sometime between 1633 and 1638 and landed at Hampton, Massachusettes. Joseph Horton also came to the New World and died in Springfield, Massachusettes in 1640. By 1640 Barnabas and his wife and two children were in New Haven, Connecticut, along with the Rev. John Youngs, William Welles, Peter Hollock, John Tuthill, Richard Terry, Thomas Mapes, Mathias Corwin, Robert Ackerly, Jacob Corey, John Conklin, Isaac Arnold and John Budd. There, on the 21st day of October, 1640, they formed a Congregational Church and sailed for the east end of Long Island, now Shouthold. They had all been members of Purtian Churches in England. <a href="http://www.hampton.lib.nh.us/hampton/biog/bachiler.htm">(Monograph of the Purtian Movement)</a> These were the first to settle the east end of Long Island.<P> Barnabas Horton's first wife was Anne Smith of Stanton, New Hamptonshire, England. They married in 1622 and after her death, Barnabas then married Mary Langton in 1629 and they had eight children. Barnabas Horton died in 1680, Southold, New York. <P> <HR> First Generation<P> Children of Barnabus Horton and 1) Anne Smith<BR> Benjamin Horton (1627-1690) m. 1) Mary Hampton; 2) Anna Budd<P> Children of Barnabas Horton and 2) Mary Langton (born 1602) (m. in England)<BR> Mercy Horton m.

Malinda Hartzog (1820-1911) (no children)<P> Nathan Horton settled in Rowan, near the Jersey Settlement, but afterwards moved to a farm near Holman's Ford in Wilkes County. Then he came to Cook's Gap in the Blue Ridge, the gap which Daniel Boone had passed through on his first trip to Kentucky in 1769. Accompanying Horton and his wife were William Miller and wife, Mary, and their son, David Miller, and Ebenezer Fairchild and family. Horton went into a hunter's camp at Cook's Gap, Miller into another hunter's camp at Buck's Gap, while Fairchild went on to what is now called Howard's Creek. All these became member of <a href="threef.html">Three Forks Baptist Church</a>, which had been organized in November, 1790.<P> There is a tradition in the Horton family to the effect that the camp into which Nathan went belonged to Richard Green, and that on one occasion, when the fire went out and Mrs. Horton went to a neighbor's several miles distant to get some live coals, she found this Green in possession of this camp, which was their first acquaintance with each other. But there are among the Fairchild receipts from Jonathan Tompkins, tax collector for 1780, showing that be collected taxes in this settlement at that early date. There is also a knob of the Blue Ridge, near Deep Gap, which bears his name.<P> There is also a tradition that the Greens were members of the Jesey Settlement, and that James Jackson, William Miller, the three Bucks, Tompkins and Horton himself were members of the Jersey Settlement. They were all members of the Three Forst Baptist Church between 1790 and 1800, and the probability seems that Richard Green told Horton where his camp was and invited him to take possession of it and that Buck extended the same invitation to Miller with regard to his own camp nearby.<P> ------------<P> Children of Zephainiah Horton and Jane McCurry<BR> Joshua Horton m. a href="http://www.fmoran.com/stanley/stanley.html">Rachel Howard</a> (m. 1805) (living in Wilkes County, 1790, 1808)<BR> Jesse Horton m.
