Notes for Barnabas HORTON

Event: Emmigration BET. 1635 - 1638 England to Hampton, MA aboard ship "Swallow", Jeremy Horton, Master and Owner
Barnabas Horton was one of the 13 founding members of Southold, Long Island. "In 1640 a small band of Puritans who just a few years before had crossed theAtlantic from many parts of England in search of religious freedom and a better life, became dissatisfied with conditions in New England and secured for themselves a parcel of land across the waters of the Sound on which to organize their church. Led by their pastor, the Rev. John Youngs, this group of 13 Englishmen with their families gathered up their cattle and a few possessions and set out by sloop or oared barge from New Haven. They crossed Long Island Sound, sailed up Peconic Bay and came ashore at Founder's Landing, and there, in what is today the Village of Southold, established the first permanent settlement in New York State."
