Excerpt from Ancestry of Horace Ebenezer Horton and Emma (Babcock) Horton MY father, Horace E. Horton, during the last ten years of his life was interested in tracing the ancestry of himself and my mother, Emma Babcock Horton. While he did not work at it continuously, he did in the aggregate spend considerable time and effort in obtaining the information which appears on the following pages. I often talked with him about this work and suggested many times that he publish the data he had collected. And I think such was his ultimate intention. After his death l filed his papers in connection with this work in an unused drawer of my desk where they have remained for the past eight years, almost forgotten. I have not attempted to make any further genealogical researches myself, but have simply arranged and put into what I hope is accessible form, my father's compilations. Some one with the interest and inclination may perhaps find pleasure in continuing the research. Whoever does, will I am sure. Find plenty of occupation in obtaining the names which belong in the many blank spaces appearing on the chart.
