The heritage of Barnabas Horton has been carried on through the generations from Southold to Salem. Exactly when he left England and on what ship he traveled has never been proven. What is known is that he was a man of unquestionable character and great faith, which is shown on his Tablestone and in his will. He became a freeman in Hartford before arriving in Southold where he served as a constable and then as a Deputy to the General Court in 1663 and 1664. As a founding father of the Town and of the church he was active in the affairs of both, and of the colony. It is said that he agreed to maintain the lane to the dock, which allowed him to have lots on either side of Horton’s Lane. In 1640 he received a land grant which included the land on which the Horton's Point Lighthouse now sits.

Caleb (1640-1702)
Caleb Horton was the first white child born at Southold and he and his family settled at Cutchogue, Long Isand. He became a freeman of Connecticut in 1664, and also was one of the owners of Plum Island. On February 11, 1684 he was chosen with three others “to seate ye inhabitants of this Town (Southold) in ye Meeting House.” There is much confusion as to the identity of his first wife and mother of his eight children…therefore she remains “unnamed” and his marriage to his second wife, Esther was with a prenuptial agreement dated April 26, 1699.

Colonel Nathan (1757-1824)
Colonel Nathan Horton, Jr. served as a Captain with the Morris County, New Jersey Militia in the Revolutionary Army from 1777 to 1782 and was said to have been “a man of upstanding character.” He became known as Colonel Nathan when he served as Colonel of the Regiment of the Mitlitia for Ashe County. In 1785 he, his wife Elizabeth, and daughter Hannah, left New Jersey for North Carolina, but Hannah died in Hagerstown, MD before the family could reach North Carolina. They first arrived near the Jersey Settlement in Rowan County, but moved to a farm near Holman’s Ford in Wilkes County. Soon they moved through Cook’s Gap and settled on the New River, Wilkes County (now Watauga) where Nathan acquired 600 hundred acres in a state land grant.
