is kn.

    HORTMAN, TIMOTHY, a soldier in Philip's war, 1676, for disch. of wh.
his w. Catharine made petition, bec. he had serv. 17 wks. and had two ch.
Ano. reason we learn from his later petit. in wh. he says he had three ch.
Once in the papers it is Heardman.

    HORTON, BARNABAS, Hampton 1640, went to Southold, L. I. favored Conn.
and was next yr. made an officer. BENJAMIN, perhaps br. of the preced. liv. at
same place, same time, and CALEB, too. JEREMIAH, Springfield, s. of Thomas,
