Birth[1] Abt 1602

Ancestral File Number 4HWR-L7

NOTE: The Ancestral File has seriously confused 3 men named Thomas Horton/Orton (Thomas Horton of Springfield, Thomas Horton of Milton and Rehoboth, and Thomas Horton/Orton of Charlestown). Two of these men had wives named Mary. The wife of this Thomas Horton was not Mary Eddy, as is often cited from the Ancestral File. The Ancestral File should not be used as a source for any of these families (all of which have been added to WeRelate from more reliable sources). --DataAnalyst 22:05, 8 November 2010 (EST)

    'There are some who believe that Thomas is the son of Joseph Horton born 1578, brother of William of Barkisland Hall, as listed in Burke's Landed Gentry, Vol. I, page 345. Also that he was a brother of Barnabas of Southold, L.I. None of these suppositions can be verified, and it is extremely doubtful that any close relationship exists between Thomas and Barnabas.'
