Biography

A Joseph and a John Horton were born after 1688. They are sons of Benjamin Horton and Ann Budd.

Her father had died before she married. He did not give her the old house as a wedding present. The story involves a deed from her father in 1658, which would be in the previous generation of Budd and an unproved Ann of different marriage. This romantic but false tale has been told far too long. It misleads serious researchers.

Ann and her brother John, born 1658, were witnesses to their father’s will in 1684. Ann and John’s birth records are found in Southold Town Records.[2][3]

Southold Town Records June 18th 1686:[4]
