documents. He also had charge of the church money, and under date
of 5 Nov., 1716, he says: "Uncle Joshua Horton came to my house and
weighed the church's money, Uncle Wells also being present." To
his eldest son, Azariah W., he wills Rawley's History and a small
cane, and to his grandson, son of Jonathan Horton, deceased, "my
homestead and houses in the first Parish of Southold, also my gun
and silver-hilted sword." He gives to the three daughters of his son
Lazarus, £15 each; to his grandsons, sons of his son Ambrose, "all
the buildings where my son Ambrose now lives--son Ambrose to have
the improvement of the land as long as he lives--also the farming
implements he hath at Rone Oak." He also makes bequests to his
daughter Mary Mabel, and her son Moses. He appoints for his executors
"my trusty friend William Horton and my son Joseph Cleveland." Will
signed 3 Oct., 1764. We have no other record of Joseph Cleveland.

Christian character. He was universally known as "Dea. James," and
greatly respected. It is said that he often accompanied the Rev. Mr.
Whitefield, and took an active part in his public meetings.
Jonathan Goldsmith Horton, as quoted by Stuart T. Terry, says of him
in his epitaph:
"Intombed beneath this ponderous load
Lies the man who loved and feared the Lord;
A husband dear, a father ever kind,
To the poor a close and constant friend:
Sober, blameless, to charity inclined,
Meriting well of all he left behind."

Hazzard Horton, now lives, was erected upon its site. It was built
by his grandfather, son of Jonathan I. He was thrice married, 1.
to PATIENCE CORWIN; 2. MARTHA GARDINER, a very pious lady. She was

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
