That first Horton house was tom down in 1878, except for the kitchen wing, which was moved thereafter by Richard S. Sturges to Oaklawn Ave- nue, becoming his carpenter shop. Subsequently it became the Girl Scout headquarters; thence moved to the Presbyterian Chapel (present Town Clerk's office) rounds where it re- mained for a time until George W. Smith purchased and re- moved it to the Woodpecker Neck section of Bay View, its present site. Barnabas Horton, the Baker, was in early South- old history one of the important leaders in the colony, entrusted with responsibility and held in high respect; one of the Town Patentees, 1675. There are numbers of Horton houses'-s-Mi r _ �exis—tebr in the community, but this kitchen wing, now a cottage, is all that remains of the parent homestead. The parent family was large in number. The first wife of Barnabas was Anne Smith. His second was Mary Langton, who came with him from Mouseley, England. His children were: Jcseph, Benjamin, Caleb, Joshua, Jonathan (who in- herited the homestead), Hannah, Sarah, Mary, Mercy, Abigail. These were the offspring whence sprang the vast Horton fam- ily in America,. Until 1873 the "Old Horton House" and this kitchen wing held Hortons within it. "Uncle Goopie", Jonathan Goldsmith Horton, was the last male Horton owner before the house passed into other hands. 46• CASE HOUSE OF FRE-REV. ORIGIN —vo William Case c, 1790 Henry M.
