He was a widower, was living with his family in Wyoming Valley in 1778. He and his family were in the famed Forty Fort the night after the Indian battle and massacre. The next morning they fled to the mountains and after suffering great hardships, crossing the "big swamp," afterwards known as "Swamp Dismal," or the "Shades of Death," they reached Stroudsburg PA in safety. Leaving his family here, he hastened to Orange County NY, for assistance. During his absence his wife was taken sick with "camp distemper" (malignant dysentery), and died, leaving a large family of children, the youngest but three years old. He took his family to Little Britain, Orange County NY, N. Y., and as above-stated, married the widow Horton. The two families, all told, numbering twenty-two persons. The house in which they lived being an old-fashioned double log-house, they hired a school-master and made one part of it a school-house, thus evincing a laudable determination to have the education of their household properly cared for. The writer obtained these facts in 1828, from Benjamin Horton, son of Israel, who was one of the pupils. But this arrangement was not of long continuance, for in 1786, Sarah, the mother and step-mother died, and was buried by her first husband in Warwick Cemetery. [Source: The Hortons in America, p 142]
